Club that cannot stop scoring lets yesterday's man go forth.

We might as well let him go to Derby as it's clear Lambert either does not like him or rate him and won't play him. My issue is ,we are left woefully short of strikers. Benteke,struggling to score,Gabby and Wiemann who just don't score goals, Robinson,who clearly Lambert does not rate and a injured Kojak.To let Bent leave and not replace him is just stupid in my opinion

Stupid how? What is it that Bent offers? What have you seen him do in the top flight since his injury?

We owe him a debt of gratitude for the goals he's scored but he's a busted flush at this level.

I wouldn't go as far as to say we owe Bent anything, he has trousered millions up millions for around 40 good games if that.

about £15mil in wages probably over the period from signing to leaving. Or somewhere near that figure?

I think I got it right when I said we should sell him in the January window of the McLeish season and everyone said I was mental. We'd have got nearly all our money back and he's been shite ever since.

[N'ZMAV]

Yep - you would have been right, Percy.

I believe we disagreed over Bent the summer Lambert arrived, and it took me about three months to eat a massive humble pie.

I think we've all had moments like that. Dorset Villan came up to me when I was selling the fanzine and accused me of running a hate campaign against Bent. (In the nicest possible way I hasten to add - Dorset Villan is a genuinely lovely bloke).

You certainly did get that spot on Percy. I'd have argued against that call too, fair play.

Cheers, I've got plenty wrong.

Lambert can't get anything out of Bent another fail.

Without wanting to go over the last how many pages, it would the seem the consensus is that this you can't blame the admittedly haphazard manager for this one as it seems clear to anyone with eyes that Darren Bent is shot.

[dcdavecollett]

We went to Burton to see the reserves play Wolves in November(?) last year. Bent was playing and was absolutely f*cking awful. On his best form, he might have had four/five goals from the chances he had, including a penalty. On one occasion, the Villa lads were tip-tapping it in the box and a fan behind me shouted, "Shoot!" I replied, "Not you, Bent!!" it got a big laugh.

As we know, Bent contributes little aside from goals; now, even those appear to have dried up.

In a phrase, he appears to be finished at the top level at thirty.

Who do we want?

Bent - or Gil ?
