Vive_La_Villa Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Villa have wrecked bents carear infact lambert can take the blame imo bent is worth no more than 2mil I don't see now Lambert can take the blame when he didn't sign him. He was brought to a club that had finished 6th three seasons in a row so probably thought there was ambition to push on. It's Lerner who is to blame for that not happening.

villan501 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Lerner dosnt pick the team lambert preferred bowery ovet bent that is unforgivable bent might not have played well but the fact he cost 24mil which we paid shows he must be half decent. Lerner sanctioned the move he aibt to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 No, it is clearly Lambert's fault. He should have continued playing Bent, when it was clear he couldn't score goals for us, he should have continued to hold Benteke back and keep him on the bench when it was clear he was the future and everything we were lacking a forward. Lambert should have continued playing Bent and watched us get relegated. What a joke of a statement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulver Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 bent wrecked bents career I'd say Villa did We spent a LOT of money on him, he scored goals and did his job keeping us up. We then, in our infinite wisdom sold BOTH our wingers (for a combined 38m) that were supplying him and replaced them with one N'Zogbia, not so much a winger as an attacking wide player for approx 10m Thus his goals dried up and people started expecting him to be a completely different type of player than the one we'd signed and that'd got him to the stage of being an 18m striker in the first place Utterly ridiculous set of events 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his decision not to do that. Same as Hutton and Given - if they sign up to huge contracts for 5 years the club are allowed to do whatever they wish with them and they can have no grounds for complaint IMHO.

DCJonah Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I don't think he was a waste of money. He was a top class goalscorer at this level. We just took away his supply. Even under McLeish his goal scoring record was good. I'd like to see him given a chance. You don't think paying out north of £30m in fees and wages for Bent was a waste of money? Is that you Martin? I'll rephrase it. I don't think it's bents fault if his move here has resulted in money being wasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Bowery was cover for the wide positions, there's no way Bent could play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 If he scores less than Gabby, Andi and Libor given 'the same' amount of starts i'll be AMAZED He's miles ahead of all of them as a striker. Get to it Darren like he outscored Kozak last season? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner sanctioned the move he aibt to blame Sometimes people don't deserve chances, if Bent was doing naff all during training all week and Bowery was giving it everything then it's fully justified. Not saying this is the case by the way as I don't know but something obviously happened with Bent as you don't go from being named Captain to being dropped altogether without some form of incident, or incidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
