If the championship playoff is a £90m game, and his goals have kept us up I make us £66m in profit.

Only if you're sure that this is the player is going to make all the difference to your team, bearing in mind the squad with which he's going to have to work. Darren Bent is not that player.
I knew there was a post on this thread that would come back to bite someone. Remarkably prescient.

Remember the mad woman on the local news when we signed him? Saying it was too much and we should have signed Kenny Miller instead. Ha, ha.

I'd say it was probably worth the money, yes. However, I can't help but feel that if we'd have signed Kenny Miller we'd probably be in Europe next season.

The only European adventure we'd experience by signing Kenny Miller would be a mid-season bonding trip to La Manga.
