with just a year left on his contract I'd get rid of him this summer for anything over 250k. If he stays then not only will he walk for nought but we'd have a stroppy useless waster for another season.
Get rid and play someone who actually wants to be here. Preferably a winger that can cross the ball and score goals. Thomas has plenty of skill but no end product.
I wonder who will actually sign him though - I expected him to go to Fulham in January as Les Reed is a fan of his, but now they looked doomed I guess that will rule them out

talking of Fulham, made me laugh in the London Lite last night to read that Danny Murphy tosser saying he won't desert them in the summer. Said his contract is up but whether he'll stay depends on what he is offered and if they are relegated and the budget is cut then they might not be able to agree something. So, willing to stay but only if the money is right. Prize twat.

Wigan, Birmingham, Bolton if they stay up. Pompey have been interested before although if they're in Europe they may set their sights higher. The 3 promoted clubs?
Let Wigan take him and Bent, chuck in Faye as a special offer!
Not doubt he's got ability on the ball and going past players but cannot cross to save his life and just doesn't have the right attitude, I don't think he'll ever be a top player.

Not unless he learns how to cross a ball he won't....
Watched a full training session at the start of the season at the Valley and as part of a drill the wide men had to put crosses into the box Between Sam and Thomas they managed one half decent ball in 10 minutes Seeing how ordinary the pair of them were made me wish I'd stuck at the footie a bit longer

not when they can get him for free 9 months later. 500k tops, in my opinion.
lot of competition for decent players and lots of dosh around so expect a newly promoted club will pick him up if not one of the relegation fighters from this year that stayed up.

If he goes for more than £500k I will be stunned that there is someone so stupid around..

agreed!
I think people are saying 1 or 2 mill because those were the amounts being quoted at the begining of the season when Fulham and a couple of others clubs were looking at him. If we get 2 mill combined for the trio from Rio (Thomas, Bent and Faye) I'll be pleased!

I reckon we've had our moneys worth whatever he does.
Didn't 'arry want him in January?

And there's no way we'd get any money for Faye.
Accoding to the papers this week, there is a contract for Bent at Wigan if they stay up.
