New board member Joe Kinnear is STILL trying to get Mike Ashley to come up with some decent money, after he refused to pay Villa the £8million asking price.

Hull may be dark horses to move in for Bent after Burnley striker Charlie Austin failed a medical and with Celtic striker Gary Hooper apparently heading to QPR.
