Already doing ads for AVTV! Nothing understated about the welcome on the OS. In the interview on there, he had the look of a guy who'd had a lot of fuss made over him for a day. I sense a decent bit of the £18m investment is in the PR.

Although I'm a fan of Bent, I take him in high esteem,  I don't think that he is  worth the huge amount of 20 millions.
But yes, it's a good new because that proves that Randy is still willing to invest on the team and, as Karen said, this could have an impact on other players that we are chasing.

If he knocks a few in to get us to safety this season, and makes our under-performers decide that they can be bothered it will have been worth it.  It may also get the support behind the manager and team.

A very big roll of the dice by Mr. Lerner. Well done Sir.

A big roll of the dice would to have paid big money to a foreign player that has never played in the PL. Bent is proven in this league and probably as good a bet possible for signing an established goal scorer with an excellent track record. I would view this as a smart investment rather than a gamble, although nothing is guaranteed of course.

Starting to get a bit sick of twattish fans of other teams saying 'it's too much' etc etc.  Clearly Aston Villa aren't allowed to spend big money - only the London mob and the Mancs can do that.  Fcuk 'em!  We're  Aston Villa.
       there,s a lot of jealousy out there folks,let em get on with it. As Des says WE,RE ASTON VILLA.--- b***x to the rest,
