Breaking News: Bent Signs

[PaulTheVillan]

I'm still buzzing about signing Bent.

I'm amazed that we actually needed a striker & we went and got one of the best goal scorers around.

Qucik question, forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, can Darren Bent play in the FA Cup on Saturday, can't remember if he played for Sunderland in Round 3 and is cup-tied

[dotcomsimon]

He is cup tied, he played against notts county

[VillaAlways]

No he played against Notts.c

[Chris Jameson]

Why didn't Gareth Barry take the penalty?

[Shrek]

That's boring now!

Any chance the "Breaking News" part of the thread title could be taken off?

[Chris Jameson]

That's boring now!

Is Prince William a Villa fan?

Yes he is cup tied but it give a great opportunity to Gabby, Heskey or the Fonz to stake a claim to be his strike partner.

Thanks for the many replies lol, am going to the game on Saturday, my first of the season and taking my 9 yo son to his first game at Villa Park since he was about 4, was hoping he'd see our new goal machine but never mind

Darren Bent is proving to be everything we could have hoped for. I don't care what we paid, because in hindsight we've got a very good deal for proven ability, and given what Torres, Carroll, Dzeko and Suarez have cost their respective clubs. Now we need to bed in the midfield and next season rebuild the defence and we'll be in a good place going forward.

2 in 3 not bad for a "panic buy" go on Benty ..........
