I'd rather have Heskey back than see Bent in a Villa shirt. I suspect his recent comments are nothing more than an attempt to drum up business come the summer, possibly even to provide leverage in a wage negotiation with a Championship side like Derby. It's all well and good sticking the boot into Lambert, what happens if he re-signs and still isn't getting picked by his mate Sherwood? Whose fault is it then? He'll be well aware of Sherwood's reputation for picking the squad on effort and determination (something he lacks in abundance), therefore I find it hard to believe he's going to settle for reduced wages only to be found out at this level all over again.
