[DeKuip]

He's Bent
He's Straight
And now he's f**kin great
Darren Bent, Darren Bent

[Irish villain]

It'll lift the whole place. I expect Villa Park will be rocking on Saturday!

They said on SSN earlier that tickets sales for Saturday were now going very well.  Could well be a sell out now he's actually signed.

What a statement of our intent! We mean business! This could be one of those days we'll look back on in years to come as the turning point. This could be our Cantona moment (maybe I'm a bit over excited but can you blame us!).

[Astral Weeks]

Darren Deal Done! Definitely delighted.

[Steve67]

Why the delay to 7pm for the press conference?  I really hope there is more good news and ITK's are correct that there might be another chair needed for the conference.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

He doesn't drink alcohol by all accounts.

Take note Dunne and Warnock.

[tremzvillain]

Cracking signing, so chuffed! Looking forward to the press conference later on, nice to hear his positive words about the club too. 

[goldenjimi]

Get in!!
Am so happy...cant wait for Saturday.
I reckon he'll have the new trendy football number.....39.

[Pete3206]

Great news!!!!

I was hugely disappointed when MON failed to sign him from Spurs and now hugely delighted we've got him. It's gone through so quickly too - from a rumour yesterday morning to ITSOTP today. Congrats to all involved - that's how to do a top quality transfer professionally

[PaulWinch again]

Welcome aboard Darren.

[Stu]

Never mind SSN, send Damon round to see if Supertom has had his vinegar strokes yet.

He'll only show him a picture of Dean Gaffney.

[Walmley_Villa]

The Online Ticketing is in meltdown - good news for Saturday! Picked up a Wigan ticket earlier - C'mon you Lions!

The great thing about this signing is that if/when Houllier gets the sack, the new manager is bound to keep Bent as any manager would want a 20 goal a season striker in their line up.

[The Man With A Stick]

That Villa shirt belongs on him doesnt it?

FUCKING GET IN THERE!!!!!
This completes a 6 year period of me lobbying to sign this man. I'd like to thank my agent, my lawyer, my buffer...

I hope you're on commission Maz.
