The only thing that worries me is the potential for irony in Saturday's game. If De Jong doesn't get him, I have a sickening feeling it'll be an innocuous challenge from Milner or Barry that snaps his leg like a twig.
Excited as I am by the potential signing of Bent I can't help but think back to other strikers who were record signings. On one hand Tony Cascarino and Stan Collymore and, with the glass being half full, Peter Withe.
Oh stop it. If the average villa fan directed a porn film the money shot would be interrupted by a cutaway of Dean Gaffney

I liked JPA very much, but he never quite put his transfer fee out of mind.I keep having the thought that the Villa way is for him to either go 3 months without a goal or to do a Luc Nilis. I'm just being silly though, aren't I? That can't happen.One goal in his last eight games.He's already had his dry spell for the season.*nervous laugh*Mind you, he even failed to score against us.*serious face*
