While Ramos wants to keep Defoe until the end of the season, he would be happy to see Bent go during the present transfer window.
Much of Ramos's planning is based around an attempt to mollify Berbatov, whose future remains uncertain despite his recent pledge to stay until the end of the season. The Bulgaria striker has made no attempt to disguise his displeasure at being asked to play alongside Defoe and also has little regard for Bent.
