    I think it would be Bent destination of preference as he is a hard core gunner supposedly.

    Bidding war = Good news for CAFC. If he does go then rather he went to either of those clubs where he can really make a name for himself

    liverpool and arsenal certainly need a finisher. either team at that price would soften the blow.

    Apart from the dosh, I would be disapponited if he went to Chelski or West H*m.

    By the way, anyone else think Sidwell is taking a huge risk in going to Chelsea - he could be Scott Parker Mk2, shame to see such talent gonig to waste.

    Why would anyone want to, apart from the money, go to that shitclub! Waste of a talent imo, just like spotty and SWP. He should and could go to a proper club with proper history, not some mickey mouse club what basically a rich crooks plaything till he gets bored!

    I wonder whether Arsenal have that kind of dosh at the moment. The Liverpool link is more likely. He will give them another option to go with Kuyt, and Crouch.

    Think Sidwell is making a HUGE mistake, and yes, he will be the next Parker on the Chelsea bench...

    Agree entirely about Sidwell - was really disappointed when I heard he was going to Chelsea - couls be another huge waste of English talen languishing in their reserves with SWP and Wayne Bridge.

    And they have a gap up front, now Fowler has gone...

    I reckon the mickies should come in for him, he would do an ace job for them.

    West Ham were interested yesterday according to rumours at £12M, this story says £15M...

    Arsenal have the money and as we saw at the fag end of the season without Henry they badly missed a goalscorer. I guess they could raise the money from selling Reyes, currently on-loan at Real Madrid, but he doesn't want to return to London.

    surely we'd prefer him to go to liverpool? just thinking more chance of a players-plus-cash deal.....saving us a few quid on the add-on fee, plus gettin some instant transfers of a reasonable quality.

    according to the Daily Mail West Ham bid £18m in January - accept nothing less!

    Would love it if he went to the Arse to play alongside Henry.

    Anywhere but West Ham is fine by me.

    Would hate it if he went there.

    Price to Wham? £25m, plus a REAL copy of the Tevez paperwork.

    Getting a player and cash would not save us anything, we would still have to make up the difference.

    Arsenal are a better club to get outfield loans from I would suspect, hopefully £15m plus the pick of there reserves and fringe players on loan

    Do Arsenal need him? Yes they struggled to score goals but they had Henry and van Persie out for half the season. They've got Adebayor as well plus the highly rated Bendtner to come back from Birmingham.

    Must admit Liverpool and Spurs seem the most likely .... cos he's good in the air and got pace he could replace both of Defoe and Mido at Spurs, but Liverpool are the biggest club most obviously needing a proven goalscorer, and his performance at Anfield may have convinced Benitez?

    Bent may score some in the air, but I wouldn't say he was a 'target man' as such like Mido and others of that ilk, if you catch my drift?

    Out of all the clubs in the Prem, I would rather he went to Arsenal. He is apparently a Gooner, and I couldn't stand it if he went to W Ham or Spurs and did really well...at least when Konch/Murphy etc left us and moaned about us, they had dismal failure where they went, I think Bent would do well but I don't want him to for the teams I especially hate :)
