The Rock came back yesterday so he can be in the party that travels out to Germany.

How do you know that?

How do you know that?

He's Roque's Official Blackburn Rovers stalker...

[QOTSA]

How do you know that?

Spoke to his agent who said he was coming back this weekend and I think it was mentioned in the South American press that he arrived in England on Sunday.

Sort of makes all the press reports today, quite out of date then, by at least 48hrs.

Sky Sports News Breaking News: Paul Ince confirm that Villa have bid for David Bentley.

[TugaysMarlboro]

Clare Tomlinson just said on SSN that the bloke who's at the Rovers game has spoken to Paul Ince, and Ince has apparently said Villa have made a bid for Bentley earlier today.

[AlanK]

well thats Ince confirming Villa have a made a bid. On sky right now

[67splitscreen]

Let the bidding begin, anyone for 18 mill

[benlloninho]

This can only be a good thing, yes?

[ebenrocks]

definatly, hopefully a bidding war will commence and we can get the highest price physically possible.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Lets hope Spurs accidentally offer us Berbatov

[T4E]

Oh yes

[mark]

well i never. would bentley want to go to villa, really?? if he wants champions league i'm not sure why he's bothering with spurs or villa...

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Knowing Villa, they would have offered us a low amount.

I can't see them offering the 17m we're asking for.

[ebenrocks]

Villa and Spurs also see themselves as rivals for 5/6th place... although both are obviously racked with dillusion, hopefully both side will want to keep bents away from the other. 20 million anyone?

[imy9]

Nicko- what is the thinking in Ince announcing that Villa have bid for Bentley, is he trying to scare Spurs into upping their offer?

I hope this situation gets resolved quickly.

[Brownie]

Apparently Ince said on R5 that he's not interested in Robinson .........

[MancVillan]

Knowing Villa, they would have offered us a low amount.

I can't see them offering the 17m we're asking for.

Knowing Villa? What do you mean by that? This is a very different Villa these days, believe me. We are a very ambitious club, and when MON thinks you are worth the money, he will pay it, i.e. Young £9.65m, Davies £10m and Reo-Coker £8.5m. I think we would have offered you very near the amount if not the £17m itself. Well Nicko, I have been asking you about Bentley for about a week, but all we get is Spurs this, Spurs that.

I think Ince has done this to start a bidding war - at this moment in time, we are the only bidders - good management by Ince. He knows there are other interested parties.

[gazsimm]

looks like the brad is staying and we don't robinson according to 5 live

[John]

Ince on SSN: Brad one of the best goalkeepers in the Premiership.

Not selling our best players!!!!!

[greggyk]

OMG, please be true!!

[Rob of the Rovers]

Very suprised to hear that Friedel played tonight. Is he as close to a move as we have been lead to believe?

[USRoverME]

It still smack of tomfoolery for Spurs and Villa to bid. They are certainly not able to offer him any measurable amount of a chance at champions league football. A Barry and Mellberg-Less Villa will be dreadful and Spurs... well... maybe Ramos pulls off an unlikely turnorund, and the cup I guess means its possible, but I just don't see them gaining enough on the top 4 to make it happen.
