I hope Bent is back and strong next season in a Villa shirt. There are some very valid points above about Gabby, who as much as we love, his ability is often heightened through his ties to the club. Bent scores more, and would score more IMO in the 4-5-1 we started at Blackburn. As long as the wingers were on the right bloomin sides.
I hope the injury is not risked in the Olympics.
