Charlton striker Darren Bent will join West Ham for £18m in a deal that will net the 23-year-old £80,000 a week. Daily Star
£80,000 a week is absolutely mental. I hope that Darren realises that money isnt everything but if any of us were offered that kind of a raise at a company we didnt like that much etc we would be branded stupid not to accept surely?

I'm sure he's in Barbados still anyway.
Ollie???
Think he's in Barbados
West ham fans will go mental if they pay so much as most seem to rate him in the 10-12 mill bracket.
Maybe but we're the selling club and we're the ones who are valuing him, not West Ham. Pay up or bugger off Eggman
Loyalty would be right out of the window if someone were to almost triple my salary
Me too. Life's too short and all that...As for the deal, I'd take £15m plus Harewood and Mullins. I reckon he'd score a few goals for us in the CCC. Mullins isn't that bad either. Probably slightly better than what we have at the moment?

I doubt that they would care, Eggy seems to have a bloody fortune so its not like its coming out of the season ticket money any more. The whole concept of the richer clubs Premiership fans being annoyed at overpaying for a player is now on the way out because the money is not "their" money at all anymore, its coming from Sky and private finance.
If the likes of Liverpool don't come knocking then I am sure he will be happy to go to West Ham since with the riches they are splashing about they have to expect a top six finish and of course he wouldn't be in any rush to move house.
He'd soon get fed up with the Blackwall Tunnel, mind you.
Unfortunately I can see it happening and whilst I would wish DB, it still makes my blood boil that WHAM are a bunch of cheats who should have been kicked into touch. £5.5M punishment? Bribe, more like.

Hit the "quote" link on the top right hand of the post you want to quote from, that will autonatically transfer all text in to a new box and then delete anything you don't want to keep.
£15m for DB plus Harewood and Mullins values him at around £18/19m, depending on what value you put on the latter. I still think we can get more from Liverpool/Arsenal.
re;quoting advice
did i hear "do as i say, not as i do"
I wouldn't mind betting he goes to whoever will give him the most games, with the minimum amount
of bench warming - he's no Danny Murphy.
£30k a week or £80k - it's all figures on paper to him - he won't care as long as he's playing.
That makes it all the more likely he'll end up at the cheats then - Curbs would be sure to guarantee him a start.
