That's all I can remember, except Leeds have released Sullivan and Crainey. Apparently Villa have bid £7m for Reo-Coker, although why anyone would want him in their team, i'll never know why.
Nice that we'd sell a player to them for a fair price, yet have to pay a good £10M over the odds when the tables are turned.
He does sound good. 34 goals in 32 games last season and has been Croatian top goal scorer for the last 2 seasons by a mile...... could this be the answer to the questions. "where can we find a reliable goal scorer" and "who can replace Henry" I bloody hope so.
It's clear who's done the better business, regardless of who's the better player.
He scored 14 goals last season, and about the same the season before. There seems to be some belief that he's world class. He's not. He could be moulded into world class, but for me that shouldn't cost anywhere near £27M.
Darren Bent is as good, I assure you. They're both quick strikers with a good first touch and an impressive leap. The difference is, for the two seasons Bent has played in the Prem, his stats have been better.
He's a decent enough player but £27M is far too much, I'd value him more around the £15M mark. He had a couple of good seasons but that was over two years ago now and his recent performances for Atletico have been fairly average.
I can't imagine what we'd pay if Darren Bent was Spanish who, by the way, signed for Spurs yesterday for £16.5M.
