If that was true - Palace would be sued for tapping him up. What a stupid bit of reporting! {Ed001's Note - a club can give a player permission to discuss terms at any time, they don't have to have agreed a fee to do so. When a player is wanted off the books, clubs will often let him discuss terms with anyone showing interest, in the hope it will lead to an offer when they agree personal terms.}

Palace still not agreed a fee, they want villa to drop the asking price. What a bloody cheek, I think 6mil is a bargain!

Th Mirror reporting Bent saying he can still play for England. PHAHAAH.

Bent could still play for England IMO, he's a good player but benteke kept him out the team and we want to get rid of his wages, he's still good enough and could score 10-15 if he leaves

He probably can. He's a great poacher. Just too lazy not good enough in the air and too old to get in our team/formation. Although I don't wish him well as I cannot stand the bloke he's so arrogant

Palace want to loan db

The thing with Bent is, you have to put a lot of "ifs" in front of his name to present a case for him being a good player these days.
If he doesn't have to track back
If we play with wingers
If you give him the ball earlier (i. e play a more direct game)
If you send low crosses in to the box
At Villa, we just don't have that luxury and a doubt a team like Palace do either
Blimey, I've bored myself talking about the bloke now

Lambert looking to loan out a couple more but trying to allow another crack at the NextGen, Kiyotake doubtful unless sale of Bent and Ireland goes through. Albrighton might be loaned out.

Fingers crossed that we can at least move Bent and Ireland soon. Still worried about us defensively, looked fragile again yesterday.

On live chat tonight said Kiyotake is not going to happen. We enquired but that's as far as it went ie asking price was too high. Sounds like were about done on the signings front

Ryad Boudeouze in talks with Villa.3 million euros fee.

Who the heck is he.
Agree3

Boudebouz is a young algerian born att mid/winger who is a regular at youth level with france a very quick player both in a dribbling and sprinting sense unsure if he is the creative talent we really lack but would definitely add something slightly different he has good potential
Agree3

Plays for Sochaux and was linked with Liverpool a year or two ago
Agree4

His stats and youtube videos are both very poor but usually youtube can make anyone look good and that wasnt even impressive. would rather hold out for a better player than another attacking midfielder/winger need someone that can play behind the strikers in the centre
Agree0

His stats are good for a midfielder and his youtube videos are actually great, did you not see the goal where he volleyed a cross into the top corner from 16 yards out? I've actually seen him play when I watched 60 mins of a french ligue 1 game as there was nothing else on tv and he actually looks a very good player and very skillful so if this is true i'll be very happy! Especially as inter were heavily linked with him.

The 3m fee comes within our budget so I can see this rumour might have some wheels to it.
To think/dream pl will spend over 10m on a player is wishful thinking and I think some fans need to understand this isn't how the guy operates.
