Oaks Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Put it this way, if Bent did a lot more he wouldn't be at Aston Villa, he would be at Man Utd, Chelsea or wouldn't have left Spurs, or Man City would have paid £40-50 million for him. We all know his link up/hold up play is his weakest part of his game, but to be honest, he has surprised me with how good it is. You also have to remember he is still settling into a team low in confidence and scored 6 in 11 and had 2 or 3 ruled out (how many have Torres, Carroll, Suarez and Dzeko scored while settling into better teams?), he has been fantastic so far, and we could easily build a team around him.

Woodytom Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Anyone else bored of this *woodytom says something controversial about Bent...everyone else replies with opinions, stats and counter arguments... and repeat* Just a bit I dont even think ive said anything controversial tbhNah, just general nonsense, that's all. Im all ears Jonno?? Whats this nonsense?? If its just that we dont agree he does nothing more but score goals - than thats fine. I wouldnt class that as nonsence. Just a different opinion - and Ive already said enough times that it may be my own fault for not seeing enough, that i have that opinion.You're totally entitled to your own opinion, but that doesn't give you a 'God-given' right to declare that it isn't a load of rubbish though. Very true, although im not sure whats iniatiated you telling me that. A statement which could be applied to you and everyone else in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 bent could be a villa legend the way he is going on. i think he could be the profolic season scorer that we have been lacking since dwight yorke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 He has that rare commodity, but plentiful amongst the great goalscorers ....positional sense. His movement is very impressive. ps to be on par with Drogba & Rooney over 5 years golascoring and to be playing with inferior players along the way,says it all for me. He's a natural.

David-Copenhagen Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Bent is a GOD, and I am so happy he is a Villa player - long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 5 goals away from home for us this season... Is that a record for a Villa player in the PL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted April 20, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2011 Bent has been fantastic since signing for us, and the key reason for us propelling up the table, so IMO its money well spent. I can't wait to see what he produces for us next season as I imagine we'll pretty much have a team built around him. His goals return for us is very impressive when you consider the circumstances. He's gona be a vp hero I reckon if he carries on in this vein for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 5 goals away from home for us this season... Is that a record for a Villa player in the PL? i wouldnt have thought so, fairly sure Gabby did it and more last season and maybe the season before.

Stu_The_Villan Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Anyone else bored of this *woodytom says something controversial about Bent...everyone else replies with opinions, stats and counter arguments... and repeat* Bored yes but its easily ignored. Blatantly just trying to save face since hes slagged Bent off since day one here, saying otherwise now would just contradict himself. Its all a load of old tosh like, but if it makes him happy...

theunderstudy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 He's got a 100% goals to games ratio away from home for us. 5 from 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Sorry, 5 in 6 as Stato quite correctly pointed out. Whoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Bent's first touch and hold up play can be frustrating at times and i'm sure that GH will have noted that. I would expect that when our coaching team gets to work on him then his hold up play will only improve and we will benefit from that next season. However, i'm slightly worried that since we now have got into a habit of selling our best players, maybe someone from the top six or from abroad might make an inquiry about him in the summer?

theunderstudy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 That's the beauty of it. Arsenal have their poacher. Chelsea have sturridge/Torres/Drogba/Anelka Spurs have had him and hated him Citeh have got Tevez/Balotelli/Dzeko etc United have Berba/Rooneh/Hernandez Plop have Suarez/Carroll/Kuyt The only team that need him are Everton. And I don't see him leaving us for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 20, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2011 Arsenal desperately need another striker, imo. That being said, I'd say there's zero chance of that being Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
