EulogyForEvolution Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'd love to see Bent go to Burton and help keep them up. Helping them take a few points off our rivals would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodley Ram Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Free transfer would be best, I think Bent and think he will still score goals but I cannot see him getting back into the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsFan10 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm not saying we should keep him, but Bent for next to no money on a 1 year contract will be an excellent signing for a mid table/ lower championship side. People forget he was our 2nd top goalscorer last year. Worth keeping around if we sell Martin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat Atwal Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 His contract is up at end of season..... release him then.... but up until then keep him in squad..... as much as I don't rate him.... im certain he will get us a couple of goals before the end of the season to convert draws into wins..... those 4 points may be the difference between 2nd and 3rd place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't let both Martin and Bent go unless we get another striker in.

Rample Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Bent will always get goals if he gets service. I'm not sure where he fits in for us at the moment but as long as he's fit I'd keep him for the next few months until his contract runs out. 4 is the magic number for strikers for me. I've said a few times that depth will be important. Counting Vydra as a separate position that Lawrence or similar would fill. It's very easy for 2 to be missing through anything from sales, ineligibility, injury, suspension or fatigue, and then Bent becomes your option off the bench. I'd much rather have him fill in than putting the likes of Russell up top - especially for cruch games or the play offs. Another school of thought is that if we get a good late bid for Martin and can't bring in a replacement then having Bent around allows you to accept that. All the same if we do a bit more juggling and have enough bodies to be able to let him go and even if it just saves us 5k a week then get the papers ready to be faxed at 10:59 or whatever.

I've not seen enough of him regularly to judge, but I expect if they were relying on an U23 they wouldn't have loaned out Vernam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
