Who knows what would have happened if we'd bought Bent instead of Heskey in 2009?

Having said that, I don't think the one he missed on Saturday was a 'sitter' - their goalkeeper did well to close him down quickly and smother the shot away. Good goalkeeping rather than a missed sitter for me.

We spent, when you subtract money raised from sales, about £20 million in 2009 so I see no reason why we couldn't have bought Bent then. It might have meant we wouldn't have signed one or more of Heskey, Beye, Downing, Delph or Warnock though.
The only thing that pisses me off about Bent is the amount of times he's needlessly offside. Not as bad as Angel was mind you...
