u can hav him...he's muck
Faster than Defoe? Not sure about that.
As for stretching defences, that's all well and good at Charlton where they played a defensive 1 up front long ball system.
Anyone at Pompey last Sat would have seen just how average he was in our standard 4-4-2 attacking formation. Defoe's not always been my favourite player but he came on for about 15 mins and created far more uncertainty in their defence than Bent had done all game.
He's the 4th best striker we have and offers nothing we haven't already got with Defoe IMHO. I'd sell him for £10m without thinking twice about it if we could get someone like Kanoute or Anelka to replace him.
With Mido at least he offered something the others didn't - which was his aerial ability.

Bent may be a good professional but there are plenty of those around that don't cost £16m....
Haven't the last couple of weeks shown us the need for four quality strikers? From the comments of BOF etc Pekhart has only got one for the reserves and that was a penalty. If we definitely needed to sell before we could buy then maybe we would start considering things like this but I have no reason to suspect that this is the case.

I still believe darren bent will score more league goals then defoe and berba. At the start of the season and after his dip in cinfidence I still thought he would be our top league scorer however looks like robbie will get that
rabbi crackers on FTL has just posted that Bent had a medical at West Ham yesterday. Deal done for £10m apparently!
Great timing with the interview!
