After Robbie Savage under Adams, then you can understand the reason, but lets see how he gets on. Will he be Jimmy Case after he was told by us he was too old, or will he be Robbie Savage? Who knows, but he will be judged on what he does for us, not what he did for someone else. If he is Robbie Savage then he better bring his ear plugs because he will be crucified.
Only 2 allowed over 23 years old, Gardner is 22. (from memory: It might have changed?)

Nope, hasn't changed, Gardner is STILL 22.

Sorry don't agree, he played the lone striker role excellently at all of his clubs pre Villa. First touch is not fabulous granted but he leads the line pretty well...

I completely agree wiith you but you must know by now that if we signed Messi there would be almost certainly be some questioning his desire and bemoaning his lack of height.
Edit; To avoid confusion, I am in no way drawing a direct comparison between Bent and Messi, it's obvious to anyone with a real understanding of the game that Bent is the far superior player.

Oh good grief. Last season, I had the good fortune to see as many Fulham games as Albion (plenty of each) and take it from me, this is not the answer. speed? NO. Bustling? No? dynamic? No, the turning circle of the Titanic. An understanding of the Offside rule reminiscent of Glenn in his very early days and more specifically the Silkster. He gives us nothing that CMS could not.

If he shows a goal scorers/poachers instinct for the next month it will be worth the loan.

This is obviously a gamble but, if he's still got it, it could be a very good fit. Bent's forte has always been in playing as a lone striker and he is less good in a front pair. This is the exact opposite of our current strikers who all find it difficult playing up on their own. As we play with one central striker, this has the potential to be good news for both parties much like the Wayne Bridge deal.
I must admit that this news has me thinking of Reading's January 2012 signing of Jason Roberts and the run they went on for the rest of the season. As we all know, its the hope that kills you.

Happy with that. Not sure who people are expecting to come to a 20th placed championship side.
Get the best out of what we got.

Brighton did good business with Lambert when he was at Norwich so there is only good history.

If he was any good we wouldn't have a SNIFF of him, this will be another Robbie Savage DEBACLE
