Well this one has been doing the rounds for a few weeks now.
The rumour about Bent to QPR has been around for a few weeks and now the Mirror have printed it.
There is no doubt that Fernandes has the cash and this move would please some but what is the point of a club if we keep doing this ?? Bent has his faults but he scores, he scores more than Gabby and other teams would love him.
From Mat Kendrick, interesting use of words by Mcleish, no denial that we would sell and not up for sale. Remember that Bent is a Wasserman client and they move on players quick, as when Bent joined them before joining us and Downing joined them before moving to Liverpool. This stinks of a planted story with AM’s non denial he could be sold of telling clubs that he is up for sale.
Alex McLeish on lingering Darren Bent/QPR rumours….”I have not heard from Neil Warnock or Tony Fernandez or anyone else from QPR.”
Mat Kendrick has said Gary Gardner to be recalled from Coventry, which given the injuries and there are doubts on Herd’s next few games makes perfect sense but we are down to the bare bones.
Hearing from the Coventry end that Gary Gardner has returned to Villa from his loan spell, but not been confirmed yet #avfc #ccfc
A couple of papers have linked us with a loan for Chelsea’s Josh McEachran along with Bolton. It does show how far we have fallen that we are linked with him (I do not rate him, Gardner is better) and Chelsea like they did with Sturridge at Bolton use us a stepping stone. It is actually a disgrace that loans between PL clubs are allowed as it allows bigger clubs to keep large quads rather than sell a few down.

If we do sell bent and for a profit i would really think that the club is up for sale and randy wants his money back or to take the money out the club.
Well, I have already given away some Villa shirts to the Goodwill charities. I have tried to hang in there and stay behind them. But I cannot. Being in the US they used to be on TV every week in the days of MON. But now they’re hardly on TV at all and when I do get to watch them, they are absolutely dreadful , they look disinterested and I completely understand why Fox Soccer or ESPN do not really care to have Villa on TV at all because they will get bad ratings. For goodness sakes, Norwich are on TV just about every week and Villa aren’t.
The Big 6 clubs (Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, and Liverpool) are really the only clubs we see every single week.
Barry, Milner, Ashley Young, Downing, and now Bent? No wonder. They have not really been adequately replaced. Goodbye fellas. They had better sell this club or else they will be down in the basement.
the way mcleish sets the team out and the boring football why would,nt he go.
Sell him then AMc can buy a team built for the Championship no problem with the proceeds
