Darren Bent

[Jimmy Smash]

Jeans wasn't a bad signing... just an unlucky one. He was certainly worth taking a punt on, given the circumstances.

I disagree, seeing as he had an injury history which read like a casualty list from the battle of Agincourt.

A bit like Paul McGrath & Ronny Johnsen. They worked out.

[Jimmy Smash]

We didn't pay for him... just covered his wages for a couple of months. Worth a punt... As I said.

We don't have Jim Walker working miracles anymore.

And sports medicine has moved on 20 years since then.

How does the next part go.. ' Aston Villa refuse Daren Bent transfer request'

To be followed by  Faulkner ''We did all we could to keep him, but the player wanted out''


I dont think Randy has the stubbornness or arrogance to care anymore in telling Liverpool to do one

what would you rather have them say so as not raise your level of anger or scepticism?

I would like for a start Lerner to come out and say the way it is.

Which you'd still dismiss as spin, or "we've heard that before". Even if he was telling the truth, would you believe it, and more importantly would you want to hear it?

Since when have you become a mind reader and know how I would react?

I'm stating that it would be good to hear from our chaiman once in awhile on club matters.

..and just for you TV, yes I would believe him.

We have paid him since August, I don't think we have had 500 mins from him.

And Jenas has been out for how long over the last 5 years?

If we'd paid £5M for him I'd have been annoyed... but as we didn't I'm not too bothered. We've paid out a great deal more for bigger crocks over the years.

poor display interms of effort no runs off the ball across the back line offered nothing as a outlet and closing down from the front plays someone who plays like he wonts to be there

In the one or two games he had post lay off. He never really got his chance.

I understand, but we had to loan out another midfielder to be able to get Jenas in. So we could have done without gambling on a crock for that.

One world class and one excellent defender, well worth taking a punt on.  Jenas is an average midfielder at best.  So not exactly 'a bit like' and more 'nothing like'.

The one we still haven't given a first team game to, you mean?
