I've always found that hard to believe to be honest. Bent said it as a throwaway comment in the press conference when he signed for Villa to justify leaving. One of the reporters asked if he really said it and he said yes but sounded nervous as fuck and quickly changed the subject. The rest of the press conference was just bullshit to justify him going and he'd been picked in every squad since the World Cup with us and scored for England in the last game.I’m sure Capello said he needed to move to a bigger club to get more time for England, or something similar.
It's only superb business IF the money is properly investedSuperb business selling him tbh. Shame we never properly invested the money.
Nope. His stock was falling rapidly and to get the huge fee we did was superb.It's only superb business IF the money is properly invested
I remember when the poster hoyed it up on here that he'd asked for a transfer in writing and has nashed off to Birmingham on a Saturday after a home match.
He got absolute pelters until the story broke a day or two later.
Was it magcatcher Hutch?
Apparently it’s also the anniversary of benno putting David Speedy in the paddock. How many years would that be? 25?!
Pretty sure the same poster also said a couple of month beforehand that Bent had been on a night out in Newcastle and was telling people that he'd had enough and intended to leave the club in the January window. Also that his 'injury' after the 5-1 was total bullshit and he was simply refusing to play.
Can’t be, I’d have been only 11. Apparently they exchange Christmas cardsGyan was a bigger shock. Prematch in the catholic club, nearly choked on me pint.
and the rest. 30 easy.
Darren Bent hands in transfer request after £18m Aston Villa bid
Sunderland striker Darren Bent has handed in a transfer request after Aston Villa tabled a bid in the region of £18mwww.theguardian.com
Feels like a lifetime ago now.
36 goals in 63 games during his season and a half with us.
I’m sure Capello said he needed to move to a bigger club to get more time for England, or something similar.
His career nosedived from that day like.
Think he did pretty well in his first 12 month or so at Villa but think he knacked his ankle ligaments and he was never the same player after that.
