As this loan means we almost certainly won't see Bent in a Villa shirt again i'd like to wish him well and thank him for helping keep us up 2 years running. The great "if only" of recent times. If only we'd bought Bent instead of Heskey.
It would have suited everyone all round for Lambert to have sold Bent when he took over. People would have moaned, but if he's as past-it as people say then it would have ended up with his career fizzling out like it has anyway, right? We could have got £10mil for him from someone and would have saved us a fortune in wages. Who knows?!

I'd say this is more down to the player. Injury, form and attitude can't be blamed on Lambert. Hutton on the other hand has taken his chance and used it. Bent has been to other clubs and still is not the player he once was. Sad to say but true.

Whatever, but it's a shame that one of the last times we've shown any ambition it ends up not working. Sums up the whole club recently. Total disappointment.

When Lambert arrived Bent was still recovering from the injury that ended up ruining his career and I can't see any way in which that reflects badly on the Villa.

It was about getting us out trouble, and it did work.
