Whats the most a Championship player has been sold for?

Wasn't Bent sold when Charlton were a Prem side?

They'd just been relegated from the Prem.

They'd just been relegated from the Prem.

Granted, but he wasn't exactly a Championship player at the time, is what I meant.

[Stanley]

Bent was only £14m.

16.5 according to BBC.

Chris' link stating 21.7 is clearly way out.

Point taken mate.

Deadline day always throws up some kind of madness and I really get the feeling someone be it Man Utd or whoever are going to come in for Adel last knockings for around £9-12M. Probably not but I just have a feeling. Its all been a bit quiet.

If that's the case then its only a matter of hours til the window shuts which is obviously in our favour. Warnock turn ya mobile off!!

Assumes the manager will be consulted. Not always the way we do things at Loftus Rd...

They still had their Premier League share at the time of the sale, so technically, it was Prem to Prem paperwork etc

Interesting angle for me is this... look at teams that have received the top 4 biggest fees:
Charlton, Southampton, Boro and Palace.
All of those clubs have subsequently languished or gone backwards - the influx of big money clearly did not bolster their on-pitch performance; actually seems to have had a negative effect.

If Bent was 21m by that yardstick you'd have to put Adel at 30m at least as he's a far better footballer and if he continues scoring at the same rate, will have a better goal scoring ratio as well.

But Darren Bent doesn't disappear for half a game and kick the ground, hog the ball and look ****-off half the time.

However, when he gets in the game, Bent's not absolutely unstoppable when he gets the ball and can turn a game in seconds. Remember - he failed at Spurs....

and what that points column means in the table? points won with his goals in matches he won? how bout assists?

[Norths]

Bent is a scorer of goals and that is it, he contributes nothing else. some people will see that as a negative, alot as a positive.

[irememberlesley]

Bent has scored as many goals in the past 5 seasons as rooney and torres.
20+ a season in top flight football, guarentees survival = 50 + Million manking 24 million now and 21 million then, a bargain

Andy Johnson got 20 for Palace in the Prem and they went down.

Yep, Bent gets you 20 a season, a third of which will be pens, the others pot shots from 8 yards out. And his assists rate is awful (none this season). Bent is the luckiest footballer alive!
