Now we've got Bent, do we actually need a defence

It's a lot easier to defend when you've got a striker up front who knows where the net is.

Think when Bent is signed, Gabby really will have to step his technic up a couple of notches. He may learn from Bent about his positioning and movement in front of goal ......

It's probably the first time ever he's had a decent partner up front with him, let's see what happens?

Part of the problem with the defence I feel is that they've had no-one solid in midfield protecting them.  Hopefully Makoun will change that.

I would try for Adam and Phillips from Blackpool and let Young/Downing go.....even both of them for the right money

Please tell me you're joking.

I hope we now keep Ash & Downing

If not, it could be like buying a Buggatti and never servicing the thing

Has anyone else wondered why MON & RL did not swoop for Bent when he was unhappy at Spurs and save Villa £14 million?  I started asking at that time and have never stopped since. Those seated near me in the Trinity are bored of hearing it.

MON is the answer... never brave enough to make the next step up.

because he squandered the money on some average defenders

Was it Matt Kendrick that said MON wouldn't pay over £8 million for Bent when he left spurs for £10 million?

Pienaar confimed he is off to Spurs, they won't want Young now so next bit of business after wraping up Bent deal should be new contract.

If he stays and we get silly offer for Downing then let him go! Miss his crunching tackles but never mind!
