I have no idea. If the rumours coming out of the club are true, I suppose he'll announce it in his first interview as a Palace player. If he wants to break into the England team he'll need first team football. He's practically guaranteed that at Palace.

That's not what Mike Sinnerton says. He was our Press Officer for several years and is very well connected to the club. He now works for NikeUK who sponsor Darren Bent.

Ohh I've just read about it and I see now. Villa want to loan him out for the season, Palace are willing to pay his £40k a week wages + give Villa a bonus fee if Bent keeps them up.
So you're paying huge wages for Bent & Chamakh, only certain of keeping them both for the year, so not gaining any long term assets for your money. I was worried you'd invest the prem money in a sensible way to give you some way of competing with us in the future - looks like you're just spunking it up the wall!
Good to hear.

Supposedly if we stay up, Bent and Chamakh have their 1 year deals extended permanently. Chamakh certainly does. To be honest this seems like the perfect strategy to me. Proven Premier League experience combined with up-and-coming talent like Gayle.

Too bad that's not going to happen isn't it? http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/relegation
Gayle reminds me of DJ Campbell when he broke onto the scene. Not bad - sure, but will amount to no more than a top of the Championship player at best.

Thanks Greens :(
Just a thought, but when did he become a bad player 
I followed Wenger following him for a year or so, then sign him, and him then never playing, for over three seasons Seemed a bit strange that the normally astute Wenger copped a £16M rick

You don't think Gayle will improve AT ALL over the rest of his career? He's only 22 ffs, and everyone who has commented on him in football disagrees with you.
I'd imagine those odds will change a lot if Bent is confirmed as signed. We're still going to be a relegation favourite but there's a far larger chance that we'll be playing in the Premier League next season than you will

Don't forget Palace are on 4 seasons @ £15M each in parachute money if they get relegated. Makes me think they will happily 'spunk away' till the cows come home...

Sorry? Am I reading that wrong? It seems to me like the bookies completely agree with me.
You're 7/1 to be in the Premier League next year. We're 5/4.

Just to confirm that Ian Holloway, this morning, has said Bent is joining Fulham.
Sorry.
What is a Chamakh?
