[Albion] Bent off to Derby County on loan?

[BensGrandad]

Could be Derby willing to pay more of his wages or looking to sign him when they get promoted. If we get Hughtkn perhaps he will go after Chris Martin from Derby assuming they were at Norwich together.

Just checked wiki they were but Martin was out on loan quite a lot

I would agree but TB is reluctant to buy players in January as he doesnt think you get VFM due to being desperate and selling clubs know that.

Don't think he will have too much choice this time, unfortunately.

Perhaps a couple of frees and more loans probably.

Well it's quite simple really, buy some decent players this January and/or get more loan players of the calibre of Bent, or else see what VFM relegation works out to be.

Think that is more likely.

We should've gone for Murray when Reading got him. We should defo go for him in Jan. Much better suited to our style of play IMHO, although, of course, that may well change.

This 150% within sensible reason, irrespective of cost

 

[Grassman]

He never looks like a man with the heart for a battle. And that is what we will need.

Indeed. Who else thought that it was quite convenient to get injured when 2-0 down at home? Call me cynical but that just smelled of Bent thinking to himself: "nah, can't be bothered with this".

I said the same thing. I also saw him 'hiding' behind a defender when we had a corner against Millwall.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Stupid move for Bent. What he wants is first team football. With Russell and Martin where is Bent going to play?

 

[Captain Sensible]

Id rather play CMS, at least he cares, since he came on against Reading things have looked up for us greatly.

CMS might not be the 20 goal man he was in league one but he changed things against reading and was a constant problem to the Fulham defence.

If he plays for Villa the way he has performed for us I can understand why Lambert does not rate him highly.

I called it his get out clause when he went off

 

[BensGrandad]

In fairness to him he was holding his groin for some 10 mins prior to going off.

 

[Geestar]

Big loss.

He's also quite reluctant in the summer, what's the excuse then?

 

[the wanderbus]

Now that would be quality, that kid has got everything you need from a striker other than experience, he'll be a top player in the not too distant future.

Murrays 2nd goal was on 26', substitution on 30'.

Are you sure it wasn't nearer to 4 minutes?

 

[BensGrandad]

Even more so in January, perhaps he only likes paying for bricks and mortar !

No it was before 2nd goal it was suggested he over stretched early in the game sorry to disappoint you.
