Darren Bent

Heavy rumours on twitter that the reason hes not playing is because villa would have to pay another 7 million to sunderland if he plays aanother game.Seems a loan deal could be viable

It's a well-fact that four more games for Bent at Villa would trigger an add-on clause. Many say it is 4m but, either way, they can't afford it.

I would fully expect QPR to try and grab Bent - one of the PL's top strikers - before a move to City is even considered.

In other words, don't get your hopes up.

malky doesnt want to upset the harmony...

that means big ego players arent welcome here,

so next season when were promoted we'l have to miss out on alot of top players because of our clubs harmony which could in fact mean relagation
most stars in the prem come with baggage

Who says bents a distuptive influence? ain't heard any stories of him falling out with any manager.Only at villa has he had problems due to this clause in his contract.Would villa sell to its relagation rival? You never know bent would be a fantastic signing and a player that everyone knows is more than capable at premiership level.Not saying its gnna happen but its definatly more possible than people think
