It's mismanagement on steroids. He didn't even have a squad number last season and had Jordan Bowery ahead of him just to rub salt in.Pathetic.So he scored on his last PL start for us ?

It's what he can do now that matters. Which isn't much apart from waddle around looking for stray cream buns.

We have scored 11 in 23 competitive games. We need a proven striker who is capable of scoring the odd chance we actually create. Someone to help ease the burden of Benteke. We do create the odd chance and they are generally being missed by Gabby, Andi and even dare I say it a benteke who missed a sitter yesterday. Is DB9 still PL standard ? Not sure ? Is he worth a go in our current state ? Yes . He is still a capable goalscorer as demonstrated at Brighton.There's also a reason why arguably the best Championship side and manager have snapped him up.

At least Agbonlahor and Weimann generally work hard. If Bent isn't scoring, he isn't contributing. Of course there is the chance that he could rediscover the knack but a loss of pace coupled with an awful, sitter-missing, performance in his last full game against Leyton Orient suggest otherwise.We're not in a position where we can afford to pick out-of-form players who contribute very little on the off-chance he suddenly starts to look like the player he was three years ago.If Kozak isn't likely to be fit any time soon I'd sooner we switched to 4-4-2 with Agbonlahor, Weimann and Robinson competing for the spot alongside Benteke.Or, failing that, sign another forward.You actually believe Agbonlahor works hard? I really don't understand that thinking. Callum Robinson needs to be utilized and right now.

Please tell me - one of his staunchest defenders - what Bent has done in the past two years to make him worth keeping.
