    If Spurs don't want to keep him then they will surely be looking to sell, so Sunderland would seem most likely, they'd probably be willing to pay around £12M that Spurs would demand.

    I'd think it would be a good move for him. Big club, out of the glare of the Premiership and lots of second rate defenders to punish all season long.

    'regular' european football with Celtic - no brainer - assuming they are in Europe. Might relaunch his international career

    Don't we get all the unpaid installments at once if Spurs sell him?

    Like Fishnets said they could not afford his £64k a week wage

    that's what's iread somewhere.
    can almost hear the commentators now.......
    "........to andy reid. reid, a glorious 60 yard defence splitting ball into the path of a brilliant run from darren bent who cooly slots the ball home to complete his hatrick."

    And no we don't get more money for Dazza, we sold the debt on, so any further Spurs payments go to a finance company. And Ipswich probably.

    Oh please dont Darren, tainted for life if you do, they'll end up claiming you have an oirish granny and your England cap(s) should be void.

    IMHO, I think Bent will have a huge part to play at Spurs this coming season, whether Berbatov ends up going or not. The way Ramos is setting the squad up, it looks very much like we'll be playing with one up top (no doubt will be Berbatov as first choice with Bent interchanging with him through the season) with two behind from Keane/Dos Santos/Lennon/Malbranque with three central midfielders sitting behind from Modric, Jenas, Huddlestone, Zokora and O'Hara.

    Looks very much like the system Ramos adopted at Seville with two pacey full backs in Bale and Hutton.

    I would be very surprised if Spurs would let him go even after his disappointing last season.

    He is a quality striker, just needs to be used in the right system.

    mainly speculation, but does claimn that Spurs are turning down offers - which supports Johnboy's view.
