Id add missed chances to that.
No ones doubting his goalscoring ability. But its worthless in this team almost, because we dont use it. As a result, he becomes worthless.
What exactly have we done in the last 3 games without him? We've managed to score 1 goal in 3 games without really even testing the goalkeeper. We still look hopeless at defending setpieces and clueless in the final third.
We would be worse off without Bent. Who exactly would you want as his replacement anyway? Don't forget we'll have to trust McLeish with the money and I doubt he'll have alot to spend.
