Darren Bent

[hilts_coolerking]

Apologies if this has been posted before, it's a transcript of the press conference after Tuesday's win: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/nov/28/darren-bent-aston-villa

After reading that, and assuming Lambert is telling the truth, I still haven't got a clue what's going on between him and Bent.

January 2011 transfer window was obviously not good for strikers.  The 3 big money transfers Torres, Carroll, Bent all struggling to make an impact.

Torres and Carroll ARE being played thou . I wouldnt swap Bent for any of the other two .

[ozzjim]

Carroll wasn't at Liverpool though was he, he is playing at West Ham on loan!

[PeterWithesShin]

Andy Carroll out for 6-8 weeks apparently.

There's no comparison.

Bent is struggling to make an impact at the moment, because he's not getting picked.

He had more of an impact last season, and has delivered goals for us, something Torres and Carroll haven't done for Chelsea and Liverpool.

Darren Bent to Lincoln City for £74 million

In the latest in a series of inexplicable transfers for the player, Darren Bent has joined Lincoln City for £74 million. Bent tells the press:

"I've had some great days at Aston Villa - about thirteen, I think - but it's time to move on. People will question why I'm swapping a top Premier League side for unfashionable League Two strugglers, but then people questioned why Johnny Rotten done them butter adverts, so... you know."

Sorry ALITA, but there now playing in the Blue Square Conference

[PaulWinch again]

Common sense prevails and he's on the bench today.

[hilts_coolerking]

That's good to hear.  Be interesting to see if he comes on.  Hope this can all be forgotten about now.

Don't blame me, I just copy and paste whatever bollox I find round the net.

[eamonn]

lot of "guessing" going on here lads

bit like Lawrenson?

If Lawrenson had any insight into Bent's situation he wouldn't have put "Interesting to read..." which places his opinion at the same level as everyone else.

fuck it, it really is such a shit answer

&feature=player_detailpage


deserve it

Darren is refusing to play by going on hunger strike? As plausible as a lot of the rumours I guess.

[Ron Manager]

Darren off to Arsenal or Fulham?

Darren off to Arsenal or Fulham?

I can see Fulham having him, they're on a bad trot at the moment.

[PaulWinch again]

I don't get this myth that Bent only poaches goals. If you look at his performance at Newcastle he did a lot of work for the team.

Never forget his debut against Man City.
Held the ball up really well in that game.
