Sunderland must up their bid to land Tottenham striker Darren Bent.

The Mirror says Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has made a club record £12million bid for Bent - but Tottenham are holding out for £16m.

Bruce tabled a new offer for the England striker yesterday and wants a quick answer as he starts his serious planning for the new season.

Spurs supremo Daniel Levy is keen to get his money back on Bent, who arrived from Charlton two years ago for £16.5m.

I am a spurs fan and think 12m is a good price for bent, he has hardly set the world ablaze at spurs so he must de-value in the market. 16m was too much when we bought him I thought about 12m was a good price then, so take it and sort out a left winger with the cash from him and Zokora (19.5m in total) and get Carew (5m) or Crouch with the left over cash,or then sell bentley and Jenas and all the other dead wood and get a world class striker like huntleear.

for a club who need to sell before they can afford to buy, spurs are being very naieve !

12m is more than enough, and to put it in perspective, the 16m they want would almost get us crouch AND campbell ! i'd say "stick it " and leave them potless !

we got the money to invest...spend it wisely, not paying too much for spuds rejects
