I can't imagine what you made of the Sunderland and Wolves home games then.

Just watched the highlights.  Bent is gonna be top scorer for us in the PL next year.  He looked much more an allrounder too.

MON should have signed Bent 2 or 3 years ago, we may have cracked the Top 4 if he did

His last three games have been a massive improvement on Wolves, where he couldn't be arsed to chase down defenders.

Agreed. Always rated him. He's been great for us so far and looks like a bargain compared to Torres and Carroll at the moment. Weren't we linked to him before he went to Sunderland?

Since he's had a striker along side him.

As Cheltenhamlion of this parish would confirm, he and I were saying that we should pull all the stops out to get him when he was unsettled at Spurs.
The same Saturday evening he went on to score a hat trick for them.

Good point, he likes far happier with a partner along side him.

The additional striker will create openings and more space for Bent, its a hard job as a lone striker

Keep Heskey with him for Stoke, I think.

Maybe give Petrov a rest too.

Bent doesnt need a partner in order to be successful but a motivated Agbonlahor will create havoc that he can exploit.

I'd just like to say that Gabby's goal was one of the most mentally celebrated goals in quite some time.

I'd like to say "sorry" to those strangers who I kissed and maybe hugged too hard!! Great times....

Keep Petrov & NRC in the middle and lets kick on, Makoun needs a summer to get up to the pace of the PL
