We are delighted to announce the signing of England international striker Darren Bent from Charlton Athletic. The 23-year-old joins after making 77 appearances for the Valley side in which he scored 37 goals in all competitions during his two-year spell in South London. He began his career as a trainee at Ipswich Town, where he made 141 appearances and scored 55 goals. The Cambridge-born player won his first England cap against Uruguay in March 2006 at Anfield before doubling his tally at Old Trafford when Greece provided the opposition in August. Sporting Director Damien Comolli said: “Darren has showed fantastic motivation and desire to join the club and we are absolutely delighted to have him. “He recognised we have a project here and as a player he wants to work with Martin Jol and showed that all the way. “The two signings we’ve completed so far in Darren and Gareth Bale offer us massive improvement in terms of the squad, players with great potential whose best days are in front of them.” Manager Martin Jol commented: “Darren’s strength is his stamina. Normally players will make runs three or four times in 45 minutes, he will do it all the time and if you manage to play balls behind the defence, he will be there. That’s what I like about him. “He has pace, he links play well and can see a pass - he can exploit the space and play as well. “He knows Spurs is the place to be and that’s something to be proud of.” Speaking for the first time as a Spurs player, Darren added: “Tottenham have a lot of young English players and it’s a young squad, it’s a squad going forward and that’s the direction I wanted to take. They seem to be getting better and better every season and I would love to be part of that. “It helps a lot that I know a few of the lads from England internationals and I’m sure they will help me settle in. It’s exciting times for me and the club, hopefully I’ll show what I can do at Tottenham and we’ll go on to win things.” ============================================================================== http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5272-11.jpg http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5272-6.jpg 分期付款16.5m 六年合約 這次轉會也創下查爾頓的紀錄 我們的體育總監說 "達人展現極佳的能力 他渴望加入我們 我們也很樂意擁有他" "他知道我們的計畫 也很希望以球員的身分在Jol手下完成這計畫" "已完成的兩筆交易強化我們的球隊 他們兩人都擁有最好的未來" Jol說 "達人有很強的韌性 他在無時無刻都會壓迫持球後衛 這是我愛他的地方" "他有速度 和隊友連結的很棒 他也會充分利用空間" "他知道熱刺是一個值得驕傲的地方" 達人說 "熱刺擁有很多英格蘭小正太 熱刺不斷進步 這也是我需求的" "他們不斷的尋求進步 我很高興能成為其中的一員" "隊中有不少國家隊常幫助我的前輩們 我很肯定在巷子他們也會繼續幫我" "我很興奮 俱樂部希望我全力發揮 我們會贏得些什麼的!" -- 預算聽說是50m 50 - 16.5 - 10 = 23.5 XD Bale的分期付款不算的話還有更多 總之相信Jol的眼光 BB等幾位好手也不是Jol找進來的嗎 花16.5簽下一個想離隊的人一定有其必要性 也相信這幾天不斷的可以看到Defoe的新聞... -- To Dare is to Bite? --
