Bent still on course for Sunderland summit
Saturday, July 4, 2009 at 4:02PM Chatting to some Sunderland lads, it would seem the rumours of Robbie Keane being offered to Sunderland (a month or two back) are possible true - in that their ITK's are confirming the same thing ours are blabbering on about.
So whether there is any truth in the story suggesting that Keane is unhappy/only re-signed to save him from his Liverpool hell and help us out whilst Defoe was injured, on the promise of being sold in the summer.....phew, is something that we can only discuss as half-truths until we know better. We do love our conspiracy theories down here in N17.
As for Darren Bent, he's apparently keen on joining Sunderland and will be speaking to them this up and coming week (when he apparently returns from his hols). Spurs and Sunderland are almost at the point of agreement with the transfer fee. One of the Sunderland ITK's is well connected enough to say that Bent is interested in moving up to the Stadium of Light. Villa the only other interested party. We all know this is on the cards because far too many people have spoken about it - online and in the press. I bet it ends with an 'undisclosed fee' and Bent grabbing 20 goals for them next season.
As for Keane, we can only wait and see, but when offered, Quinn was not interested in accepting our generous gift that would come with a hefty asking price and a ripe old age.
Bale was also apparently offered to the Black Cats. Another rumour that the Spurs ITK's shared with us several weeks back. I'm hoping that part is not true.

I hope Bale stays but they do seem to pick up our left overs so they can have Keane and Bent while they are there they can take Jenas, Bentley, Zokora, Gilberto, and Chimbonda (again) that would get rid of some dead would and we could start looking up of course with a signing or 3
'I bet it ends with an 'undisclosed fee' and Bent grabbing 20 goals for them next season.'
Guarenteed!
And if we sell Bale we are mugs. a loan wouldnt be so bad but why arnt we playing him on left wing anyway?...
It can only be an 'undisclosed' fee if it is below £10 million. Anything above that has to be declared to the Stock Exchange i.e. Palacios was £12 million
Never knew that Scott well just goes to show you do learn something new everyday
It's all on the London Stock Exchange website. Just type in the ticker code 'TTNM' and you'll see under notices all the player transfers inc. Bentley, Pav etc...
i totally agree with Arron, wouldnt bat an eyelid if any of those players left.
now they are saying louis Figo is on his way?!
so far ...... beckham,nistleroy..half of brazil and half of the spanish and italian league?
dont think anyone is leaving.......do you
Also Sun says ...
Harrys been seen moonwalking in a west end nightclub with some pole dancer!
i hope Bent stays... i think he has all the qualities to become topscorer of the leauge when givven a firts team place. We should play with bent op front and keane or defoe playing around him. maybe it is the high wage hes earning why spurs want to sell
