It's thought that after recieving the bid the Blues supremo had a change of heart regarding the fee and has decided to hold out for Charlton to make an improved bid to allow Joe Royle some freedom in the transfer market.
Charlton are said to be keen on adding Under 21 International Bent to their ranks to join former blues Matt Holland and Hermann Hreidarsson, and could be set to make an improved bid for the forward despite talk of the deal being totally dead on Friday.
