Update on Bent- source SSN

[Pete3206]

Just what we need really. Lose our top scorer for months, then put him straight in the shop window.

Not sure if this link will work as am on my mobile but the impression I got is that Bent is very nearly fit AM asked if he felt fit enough to sit in the bench. Bent said no

I don't think we'll see him a Villa shirt again

Link worked fine. I think the club are very good at communication these days, with AVTV etc. Some may ridicule everything they say but it is better than a wall of silence.
Regarding your last sentence, I tend to agree, but that is only my own cynical view.

Well, I suppose the new manager is going to have to find some funds from somewhere to rebuild the squad ....

I can only see him going to Liverpool, who will pay through the nose.

No-o-oo, DCF* - just joining everyone else in SpeculationVille.

Maybe he's just not into making any rash predictions. Maybe Bent has been training with a ball, but he doesn't want to say so. I don't get this obsession with turning AM's every utterance into proof of his incompetence.

Whatever happened to the players saying that they would turn out on one leg to perform for their beloved club.

Oh i remember, they all became multimillion pound mercenaries who only play for themselves

[maidstonevillain]

He may be making clear he's exploring every possibility in order to field his strongest team. Not an entirely stupid thing to do.

He makes it very clear that he has no idea just how fit or otherwise his star striker actually is.

There's plenty else to slag him off about without needing to read extra into off hand comments he makes.

Particularly after they have been filtered through the PR Department.

I thought this season they all trained without the ball, hence wtf is that lets kick it away its round and it looks awkward.

Basically, if he wants to leave, he'll leave....and after the club's "transition" from where it was when he signed, who could blame him?

[Handsworth Wood Villa]

Hope he is fit for the Euros.

[Karlos96]

Hope he is fit for the Euros.

From a Villa point of view I hope he isn't I don't won't him in the shop window during the Euro's.
