Bent joins Aston Villa for 18m.

[MajorLazer]

Didn't think we had any money. That's really surprising. :o

[Andrew3737]

Your owner is a billionare lol.

[MajorLazer]

Yer but thought we were going to be selling people instead of buying. Not complaining though.

[MajorLazer]

Can you show me a link?

[CrowsFan]

Hasn't joined yet, he still needs to agree to personal terms

According to caughtoffside.com, this is the same with Jean II Makoun from Lyon.

There's also this, but I reckon it's just rumours.

“Why can’t anything be simple? It’s so frustrating hanging round doing jack ****. Seriously getting pissed off now. Villa are not the problem in the slightest.”

“Do I wanna go Hull City NO. Do I wanna go Stoke NO. Do I wanna go Villa YES. So stop ****ing around, Brucey”


Don't think personal terms are a problem.

[MajorLazer]

This is about Bent?

Sorry just read it properly. :P

[Hawka]

i thoguht the guy from lyon already signed they just need papaer work

[MajorLazer]

Yer I think he has now.

[Hawka]

aston villa have doine well

[MajorLazer]

Hopefully these transfers make it worth it.

You'd think Bent would start in place of Carew/Agbon and Makoun play in the midfield somwhere. :P

[Justin Bieber]

Don't mind Bent as our scoring this season has just been.........

Hopefully he can help lift us to at least finish around 10th ::).

Getting Benzema might cost a bit though. Shouldn't cost the 30 Mil Real paid for him, but wouldn't expect it to be alot less.

[MajorLazer]

We're looking to loan him I think.
