Obviously not THAT bothered or he would give up his money and leave to play football, money still more important to footballer shocker.
He is not a starter, he barely plays, he is on high wages, he is 29. I think he is doing the right thing.
Not that bothered about playing though, as he would hand in a transfer request and forego the bucks. He's either actually bothered about playing or actually bothered about money.
In the real world, Villa has a few months to find a new club for Bent. Either that or pay his wages for another year, while he is not playing. Bent is playing his card right.
