I doubt he'll ever be as prolific as Bent but he is more well-rounded and will earn his salary every week with his hold-up play, lay-offs and knock-downs.More well-rounded? In what respect? He looks a bit one dimensional and strikes me as a bit of a moron judging by his court appearances and assaulting team mates. Granted he probably appears well rounded compared to Joey Barton but he strikes me as a ponytailed Duncan Ferguson.Quote from: Redman on June 08, 2011, 05:49:49 PMDarren Bent: 17 goals and 2 assists in 36 appearances.Andy Carroll: 13 goals and 6 assists in 26 appearances.

I struggle to understand why the press mocked Villa for spending £18 million on Darren Bent and yet £35 million on Andy Carroll is a great signing?
Quote from: villa1 on June 08, 2011, 05:12:14 PMRedman, Eyebrows raised at £24m for Bent? I think he proves his worth by scoring more goals than Carroll and Torres after their respective moves and cost far less. Still early days though.Bent was good business but it isn't just the transfer fee that determines value.At £18-24m and £80,000 a week, you're paying a lot of money for a player who doesn't do much except score goals. His goals make him worth it but when he isn't scoring, that's a lot of money to paying him. Similar to Torres for the past 2 years.Plus in 4-5 years, you'll need to buy a new Darren Bent.Andy Carroll cost £35m and earns £85,000 a week I think. I doubt he'll ever be as prolific as Bent but he is more well-rounded and will earn his salary every week with his hold-up play, lay-offs and knock-downs.Plus he won't need replacing for 10 years and if we decide to replace him sooner, he'll be young enough to fetch a decent fee.

An hour an a half before you made this post claiming 80K you were claiming 70K which is it? Or does it change according to which argument you are trying to make.Consistency I see is not a trait with Liverpoo or its fans
