Breaking News: Bent Signs

[Jimbo]

Sensational signing. Well done Villa.

[jcsutv]

Please excuse me if its been mentioned 100 times but what squad number has he got ??

Good number, my age! What a day. It beats the previous few windows already.

[N'Rexy]

What a day. We are lucky to have a Chairman who is all action and no talk.  This has blown the O'Neill inspired myth of us being a selling club apart in the most resounding way. It gives a kick up the ass to our truculent older pros and is a massive vote of confidence for Houlier. If this moves comes off it will have been a masterstroke.

You've got class Mr Chairman.  Well done and thanks.

I presume he's cup-tied for the FA Cup?

He is

Played against Notts County

I'd go with a forward line of:

Downing - Bent - Heskey - Young - Gabby - Albrighton

With Ireland and Bannan playin slightly withdrawn behind them, Walker and Clarke as wingbacks and Dunne as the defence and rush goalie.

So that would be a change from him playing  fully withdrawn?

Just realise I've left out Carew, looks like Dunne is going to mis the cut in my dream team now.

Not to mention Delfouneso.

[PeterWithe]

Fuck yeah, right back?

[Dave]

Nah, Walker's attacking enough.

Clark's not going to win any headers over Heskey or Carew - Delfouneso can be left-back.

[olaftab]

please call me a prat if u want. But do you really think we will see gabby up front with bent?  I can see gabby being dropped.  Downing left albrighton right young behind bent

OK Prat I think the pair of choice shoud be Heskey and Bent with Gabby on the bench coming on to change the game if we (EVER!) need that from now on.

[PeterWithe]

No I'll keep Clarke where he is, Nathan can be an attacking rush goalie.

Can both of you play nicely?
