We can't loan outside the transfer window, so how are current deals relevant to us? Bent is way past his best.

Only good bit is that it's a 28 day loan so we could nab him in jan !

I'm looking for proved premier league players to help us stay up thats how

[Vindaloo FOX]

Rather have Defoe but I guess he will be off to QPR .

[LCFCFOX6190]

He's awful

[Guest NGoloMode]

Darren Bent's record has been poor for a few seasons now.

Proven at what? Alan Shearer is a proven premiership striker, shall we get him?

What job's that then?

[Lamby]

Legend.

Darren Bent was good at one time but he wouldn't keep us up. Exactly the kind of panicky signing we need to avoid.

always preferred marcus anyway

Bit of pointing up

He was fairly shit for Fulham last season.

That's a kind assessment.

It just makes your original post more irrelevant.

Why on earth would anyone want Darren Bent at Leicester. Were lacking in goals so who do we look for? a goalscorer? nah lets go get someone whos been absolute dog mess for ages now.

 

(Now watch us bring him in in January and bang in 10 goals and survive)

[Captain...]

Bent could be a good loan signing in January, he could be a Kevin Phillips type signing, or at least a better option off the bench than Wood or Nugent, but I doubt Villa would let him go to a relegation rival we would probably have to make an offer, which I doubt we would do.

(Couldn't find a thread on him so mods please feel free to move if I missed it).

 

Just seen that Villa are sending Darren Bent out to Brighton on a short-term loan.

 

As we're struggling for goals, I would look to sign him in January. 

 

1. Bent could just be the thing we need. He is lethal in the box and has what many have called for – "proven quality". 50+ Premier league goals in 110 games at Villa and Sunderland - when he was playing week in week out.

2. He was club captain for a period at Villa - so must have some leadership qualities and a decent attitude. Him not getting a game at Villa is a mystery. 

3. He's only 30 so wouldn't just be a quick fix. At least two seasons left in him.

4. He would have a point to prove so motivation wouldn't be a problem - especially if we and Villa are both in a relegation scrap. 

 

The more I think about it, the thought of Bent, Ulloa and Vardy as our options up front make me quite excited. As much as I love Nuge, I have given up on him making an impact this season. I see him more of a squad player at the moment.

He's scored 6 goals in his last 46 Premier League games. He commands a huge wage. We'll be adding a striker that can't score very often to other strikers who can't score very often.
