The transfer merry go round!

"Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Darren Bent from Charlton Athletic.
The former Ipswich ace was always destined to leave The Valley this summer following Charlton's relegation.
Bent had been expected to join West Ham, with The Hammers reportedly willing to offer £17million to seal the deal, plus a lucrative pay packet.
Now sources close to the England striker have told Sky Sports News Spurs have expressed an interest in the player."
This supposedly from sky sports news! And the pay he is supposed to be offersd?..£75,000 a week!
All this for a player with less than 50% score ratio and only made one appearance (sub) for England in a friendly last season!!
More interesting though is.....

"Niall Quinn admits Sunderland are waiting for David Nugent to return from England duty before pushing on with a bid for the Preston North End striker.
Reports on Wednesday claimed that Sunderland had made an undisclosed cash offer for the forward, who is in Holland at the European Under 21 Championship.
Black Cats chairman Quinn was taken aback by the revelation, but confirmed the club are waiting for the opportunity to speak to Nugent.
"It was a surprise to us, the way the story broke out yesterday," Quinn told Sky Sports News.
"As far as we were concerned, the last time we spoke to Preston he had the tournament, which is very important for England Under 21s.
"I think the player himself said that and it was foremost in his mind. It's a waiting game until that's over.
"Our interest, as three or four other clubs are, is pretty well known at this stage."
Quinn also confirmed that the promoted side are working hard to add to Roy Keane's squad before the start of the Premier League season.
He added: "We're trying very hard. The type of player we are trying to bring in doesn't come cheap.
"We haven't gone for the cheap alternatives at this stage and we are still in there trying very hard for the ideal player that Roy Keane wants.
"We'll keep every stone turned and do everything we possibly can to bring the type of player in we believe will make Sunderland a better club.
"It's not as straight-forward as people expect you to do these things. It's very, very hard work, but we're getting there and we hope to have a bit of news soon."

Now Nugent is a player with fantastic potential...he's aggressive, quick and a proven goalscorer at any level as well as many,many assists.
I sincerely hope he does go to Sunderland as Roy Keane will surely get the best out of the young man!!
