Which Club Had The Better Deal?

[Dave Cooper please]

Feel free to categorise his record as “only a slightly better record than Simon Stainrod” if you like but would you would choose that particular definition for any of the other players listed below John Carew?

No, because I only did it because I had a bet with myself that you would answer by quoting another load of statistics at me whereas the only meaningful one is that Carew has been utter garbage for about the last 12 months.
And I won.

Can we just agree that Carew was an improvement on what we had (Baros) but not as good as what we have now (Bent)?

Sensible words.

He was a good signing for us, one of MON's best, but his time here has gone and we've got a better goal scorer in now - onwards and upwards!

There's something beautifully poignant about that Dave, I'm glad that you won in your head.

[Dave Cooper please]

So am I, it's the small victories that make me happy.

To get this back on a Bent theme....

Is there anybody who would swap Bent for Torres or Carroll.  Or, Rooney apart, is there any other forward in the league you would swap him for?

I wouldn't.

[pauliewalnuts]

I wouldn't either.

I found it gobsmacking when we bought Bent, how many in the media were suggesting we'd overpaid etc etc, but then Liverpool make Andy Carroll the sixth or sevnth most expensive striker ever, paying 35 million pounds for a player with half a season in the PL and a season in the CCC behind him, and it was lauded as a great deal.

[Villa'Zawg]

Nor me, he's perfect for us.
