Town to Net Bent Cash? - Ipswich Town News

Town will reportedly receive £200,000 from Charlton if Darren Bent makes his full England debut against Poland at Old Trafford this evening. Bent is tipped to be used as a substitute by Sven-Goran Eriksson in the final World Cup qualifier.

The Blues stand to gain an extra £500,000 for Bent on top of the £2.5 million fee depending on international caps and Charlton appearances. A second England cap will net Town another £200,000.

Meanwhile, Bent's former Town academy team-mate Lewis Price will not make his full Wales debut against Azerbaijan at the Millennium Stadium this evening.

The keeper is still not over the hip problem which forced him out of Saturday's match with Northern Ireland in Belfast.

Wales manager John Toshack is keen to blood young players ahead of their Euro 2008 campaign and Price looks likely to finally make his debut in a friendly between now and the start of the qualifying fixtures.
