Sometimes England International Darren Bent has been fined a 120k Pound by current club Tottenham Hotspur over postings on his personal Twitter page blasting Chairman Daniel Levy regarding a proposed move to Sunderland.

Bent used Twitter to vent his frustration after his move to Sunderland stalled yet again, and the attack has cost him two weeks’ wages.

It has also left the club demanding that all their players disclose whether they are members of social networking sites such as Facebook or the one used by the striker.

Bent’s Twitter page ‘db10thetruth’ was taken down early yesterday but only after a series of his angry posts had been published in Sportsmail.

Spurs are determined not to be embarrassed in the same way again.

Among his posts the striker wrote: ‘Do I wanna go Hull City NO. Do I wanna go Stoke NO do I wanna go Sunderland YES so stop f***ing around levy.’

Ironically, Stoke were undeterred by Bent’s ill-judged comments and are understood to have topped Sunderland’s most recent offer of a £9million down-payment with further instalments up to £14m based on performance related bonuses.

But just as Portsmouth were forced to accept £3m less from Spurs than Sunderland were offering for Peter Crouch, who preferred a move to White Hart Lane, Levy may have to bend on the Bent transfer fee.

Sunderland are just as frustrated as their top transfer target, and manager Steve Bruce wants the signing completed by the beginning of next week. Chairman Niall Quinn made a third attempt to strike a deal last night.

Bent’s frustration is based on the lack of progress over the transfer even though on Monday he was ordered to get off
