Just seen it.

Now it would explain why he was working "hard" over the last few games.


Cheers stoke(y) and Badger

Deal not yet completed - expected tomorrow morning.

This is a strange outcome. I guess Wigan will pick up his wages bill but I'd have thought we would have preferred to have sold him outright. I am assuming that we tried but they wouldn't come up with enough cash?

According to a local rag(look very close top left) this is not Marcus but Darren?

You couldn't make it up

I posted that a while ago - cynical but clearly true.

Lets hope this isnt what Wigan are basing the loan on, if it is boy are they in for a shock

You can sometimes get a cash payment for a loan deal, but in this case I reckon getting Bent off the wage bill is sufficient.

i reckon it was the best we could do. Also wouldn't be suprised if strong words were exchanged between him on Pardew on Saturday.

We're now in the weird situation of wanting him to do well.....

great news. like many i would have wanted a bit of cash but he's probably one of our highest earners (can't guess how much...too much) and along with faye will save us 2 wage packets.

Finally confirmed. GEDDIN!


What are the odds on Wigan going down?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think he would have had a good season with us, but glad to get a big earner (over £20k per week I beleive) off our books, a pity we couldn't get a fee though.
