Darren Bent - worth every penny

[Toronto Villa]

I think he's fantastic, but then so is Gabby as he proved today.  If we can get those two gelling together over the course of a season we could have quite some strike force.

agree Risso. Gabby gets the whole squad thing and just loves the club. I'm sure he wants to play every game, but you can also see his effectiveness off the bench. We still need another Bent type player in my opinion, because he is going to have dry spells. Gabby has been crushed by his injuries this year, and a good break will do him the world of good.

If they were all in-form I'd be happy with Bent and Heskey and Gabby alternating, as it is I think Bent is the only one you can start all the time as he's always likely to get a goal regardless of form.

Toronto - spot on mate.

Where have all the pinched faced moaners with their wankey banners and boos gone?  Our support was again superb at Upton Park - even while our defence again looked jittery and old - but my God - when we attack?  DB was denied a brace last week from some myopic official - and it was the same today.  The lad is blossoming and is bringing out the best in AY and SD.

Darren is just what the club has been missing for so long - a world class centre forward.  Let's hope that this summer our defence will be remodelled to be as strong as our attack and roll on next season.

Bloody Houllier - buying Bent - that's another thing to blame him for.

Great signing. I must admit he's looked very limited and almost non existent in most of our home games but I think our style of play, away from home, definately suits him.
If we play to his strengths at home he'll get a sackfull.
Thanks Randy.

We have needed a goal scorer for years. It is always the hardest position to fill.

[Salsa Party Animal]

Let hope he can score 30 goals a season from next season 25 in the league.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Excellent.

If only that nastly little fucker who used to manage us had signed him from Spurs.

I really hope so, I think I speak for everyone when I say, I hope Gabby doesn't end up leaving.

Real quality!

[Chipsticks]

Already our top scorer and only had him since January. If anything he's highlighted how utterly shite we were pre-Bent.

'Pre-Bent' - what an odd phrase to use without referencing homosexuals.

Good post TV.

Another point to add, none of Bent's goals have been pens at Villa unlike at Sunderland.
