Loved that article, a perfect description of the Darren Bent many of us saw but some couldn't.

151 league goals. In the top flight. Perfect description of Darren Bent.
I wasn't knocking his career goal scoring record. I don't think he will score many more at the top level and without goals his contribution is nil.

Some people just can't seem to get their heads round the concept that a player who scores goals can make a team worse.

Dunne, Ridgewell. At least Bent puts them in the right end.

Glenn Hoddle used to say the same about Steve Archibald.

I think I'm one of them.

I think 'concept' is an abstract idea. One I dont subscribe to.
