Tend to agree we won't afford him, but the original point is that he's coming here to earn his next (final) contract - not necessarily with us. Having said that, I remember Nicky Forster joined us because we gave him a longer contract.... maybe Bent will be happy with £20k a week for four years...
I would love Lambert to join us. He's quality. At Villa the players he has at his disposal are appalling, but somehow he steers them away from relegation each year
