Liverpool have been linked with a January move for Aston Villa striker Darren Bent. It is no secret that we need another striker to bring in more goals for the club.

But Aston Villa have come out and said that they have not heard from Liverpool about Bent.

“We’ve not heard a thing from Liverpool,” said McLeish. “I’m aware of the speculation.

“But there has been no contact with this club and I think you’ve had three parties telling you that.

“But, even if there was contact, we would not entertain that (selling Bent).

“We wouldn’t want to entertain selling our top scorer of last season. He is a prolific marksman.”

  5. davy c says:

  6. angus says:

  8. Williams says:

    Get lukas podolski

  9. Berhe says:

    liver pool strik force is very weak today if solved this problem with either E.cavani,soldado,Lucas podulski,E.Hazard,D.Ba or C.Tevez no club in Europe better than LFC except Barcelona

    • Bert says:

      Bent is a good player but we dont need good we need great! Come on Comolli do you job and unearth some real talent from around the world.

      And Berhe NO club is better than Liverpool, Barca may have a better team at the moment but Liverpool FC is the greatest CLUB on earth!

    No more Brittish players ..they are not goodenough

    • craig jones says:

      sorry but how can u say that !!! just look at the national side ……. ok your right point made lol

  11. ty shenson says:

    enough of these british players/strikers they re all average players.kD should go for exceptional players like nando torres,suares,alonso,sissosko,kewel this re great kopites dat has brought glory lfc,not wastin millions of pounds on averange players.

  12. ebenezer says:

    we don’t need any british player anymore.go out nd get young talent out dere.

  13. Florence says:

    It’s disgraceful to know that Dalglish and Comolli apparently are thinking of bidding for Bent! I hope we are not just going to end up in the range of 5 to 7th position at the end of the season! No more overrated British players like Bent. Let’s go for Lukas Podolski, Soldado or Jelavic or any prolific goal scorer. No more British! Can’t Comolli’s scouts go to South America where they can discover young and mature talents especially a striker and a winger who can create and finish goals clinically? Luis Suarez would love to have a capable ally upfront not someone like Andy Carroll! A defensive midfielder wouldn’t be such a bad idea either at least he would cover up for Lucas till he returns! I’m not in for Darren Bent!

    • Nivster says:

      Hopefully Dalglish and Comolli aren’t thinking about bidding for Bent and they are just rumours.

  14. steve says:

    come on wake up and smell the coffee. Bent and his agent are trying to get him a move, which you cant blame him for he went there and within short time all there better players were gone with no real sign of the club trying to push forward even the appointment of mcleish is negative. no real bid has been made and if u look at some of rumours in last 6 months most are utter rubbish just crap made up by bunch of hacks to fill paper.

  15. Bomber25 says:

    If Dalglish goes ahead with this deal, let’s hope for his sake that it works out. If not, that will be the parting of ways with him and Liverpool FC.

  16. ty shenson says:

    i just hope kd make a good choice.

  17. Vialli says:

    What? Bent is a proven goalscorer in the premiership. That IS what we need. He is English, again we have a quota to fill – new rules people.

    If he is purchased for max £15mil and goes on to score, as he normallay does. What a bargain.

    Podolski is awful, he only plays well for Germany. He hasn’t done anything great at club level.

    • Mully says:

      I totally agree. How can people say Bent isn’t a proven goal scorer? Have any of you other posters looked at his stats? All the talk of Jelavic being a proven goal scorer…yes in the Scottish Prem…I could get double figures in the Scottish Prem!!!

      • Mully says:

        And while I’m at it….Podolski? 15 goals in 71 appearances for the best team in German football…oh yeah that screams prolific!

  18. Sanjay says:

    Buy Good players not cheap players.

  19. richie nana yeboah says:

    liverpool should buy soldaldo or harzard.stop bent frm entering melwood.

  20. williams says:

    if kenny made a simillar mistake he did last january by signing carrol then then lfc fans should not expect any top 4 finish even lifting any trophy under dalglish as lfc manager,we (lfc)don’t need any england player again kenny should bring strikers like -HIGUAIN-PODOLSKI-SOLDADO-HULK-just but few,already kenny is a failure person on that position uptill now kenny could not select out first eleven starting line up in his squad instead he’ll decide to bench KUYT-BELLAMY-MAXI for a donkey like carrol,just look at man.city game pls kenny is not the type.

  21. williams says:

    if bent is good enough why should he (bent)be on the bench in aston villa,kenny should wake up his brain and go to other part of europe and bring in a top striker that will give us the goals we need in lfc he should stop running arround bushes in england.
