Is the weather nice in cheerful charlie land?

In fairness we all thought the same about Bridge and Upson, but they turned out alright.

So because he can't get in the Villa team ahead of Agbonlahor, Kozak or Benteke, he must be shite. At Championship level. Right.

I would have been really jealous if one of our rivals had got him instead, I'm willing to give him a chance. Saturday: goal Bent, assist E. Bennett x3.

I like it ! Rather than sack the manager that's in trouble,as they all have around us,give the present manager a big name striker to help him out......a far cheaper option.....and it gives the manager a fair chance as well.Bring on Bent !

Would be a great signing! I am astonished there are some saying they don't want him.
If any other Championship club were signing him there would be some serious moaning on here about why we can't compete with them etc.
This is potentially a season changing signing.

Yep, Obika and Lita showed them how to do it.

No he isn't.
I'm happy with this. Think he'll have enough about him at Championship level.

"Yeah it's our fault Bent gets out of breath walking up stairs.He could have Beckham and Giggs either side of him, he isn't going to score goals. He has no pace, no sharpness, no spring.
His legs have gone, they can't support the size of his fat arse.
As for being screwed by the club, you haven't yet realised that Bent signed his last big contract with us,his retirement contract. he hasn't tried one inch to improve himself as a football, to adapt his game to make up for his ever increasing short comings, he picks up his salary and he is laughing at you.
Look at the state of him, you really think he cares about Villa or achieving anything with us.
He came for the money.
Nothing else."

Yes, people were apprehensive/critical/moany about loaning Bridge and Upson, and they were wrong. They were also apprehensive/criticial/moany about loaning Paynter, Obika, Lita, Dobbie, Vokes, and none of them did much with the time they had/did enough to warrant more time than they were given, so you'd have to say they were right in those cases.
This shows a couple of things
People will always moan, no matter how promising a signing looks.
Just because a signing looks exciting, doesn't mean it will pan out.
We don't have a great record loaning strikers.
Players can be good everywhere else they go, it's no guarantee they will be good in our team/system
For me, it's a name I recognise, which doesn't happen often, but my awareness of the above makes me want to take a wait and see approach.

It's 'canard' Del
Any belief that the arrival of an expensive 'eggs in one basket' journeyman striker would be the sole cure for our on the pitch staffing issues is, I fear, seriously misdirected.

This. Better than most of the other options that have been touted so far.

True, but Bent is a proper striker, we don't have one of those. It may be he is shit and past it but at least we have a chance of seeing a striker in an Albion shirt who can cut it in this division. None of the ones currently here are up to scratch. I will stay excited until he signs for someone else or he proves be to past his best and useless.
