Bent joined Spurs only last year for a fee of £16.5 million pounds so his new rumoured price tag of £12 million does explain his rather eventless time at the club.
As a Liverpool fan myself, in the words of Peter Kay I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. I think he is an average player and that The Reds would be much better off with the likes of Huntelaar or if we were to splash out a bit more cash, David Villa.
I think that if Rafa was to sign the England international it could result in even more speculation over the Spaniards future at the club.
