Grampus_Eight said:Widely reported that we won't be taking Bent on loan. I still can't understand why anyone thought we would.
His transfer fee did not drop to £13-15m like I thought it would though.
Instead, the deal being reported is £16m plus Hayden Mullins.
West Ham have reportedly upped their wage offer from £60k per week to £75,000 a week. Sp**s were reported to have offered £35k per week.

If Arsenal are interested in players like Bent, Andy Johnson and Dean Ashton we may need to gamble and pick them up when they're in the championship.

Bent will reportedly receive as much as £75,000 per week if he moves to Upton Park, and in the past six months West Ham have also opened the chequebook to lure players such as Scott Parker and Lucas Neill to East London.
Such is West Ham's new-found muscle in the transfer market, Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp recently lamented: "Craig Bellamy would do for us. But West Ham want him and would double his wages to £100,000 a week. How do you compete with that?"
However, Magnusson has hit out at media reports which have suggested West Ham's spending is out of control.
"On a personal level I am, at times, frustrated by some of the stories which appear in the media suggesting certain salary levels for our players - many of which are simply factually wrong," Magnusson added.
"It is not right to comment on every story or to use confidential information in public but I can say the truth is often different to the reports.
