villan_007 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 With the balls Marc is putting in Darren would have a few goals under his belt. But we have holt or andi in stead No he wouldn't. He makes Grant Holt look trim, I have watched him waddling his fat arse now and again this season, no pace, no sharpness. Absolute garbage.We have done well to save on his wages this season. We won't get away with it next. Finished. what makes you think we have saved on his wages? I very much doubt if Fulham are paying full whack for him. Yep they took his full wage and paid a loan fee. have any proof of that? Yep - but I'd rather you just didn't believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 No doubt some will call for him to get another chance here but his time has passed here, just a signing two years too late. Really don't know who will take him either as he did very little at Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeParker91 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I could see him going to QPR if they get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I could see him going to QPR if they get promoted. Another possible destinations could be Turkey or MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Darren Bent is a quality goalscorer and you could argue that he is too good and not good enough for teams like Aston Villa and Fulham. Both our squads are insanely poor and have to battle for everything, simple fact is neither team can afford a player like him because we need our strikers to work back, win headers, run the line etc. I think he would fit into a team like Swansea, Southampton, Arsenal very well. There is a reason we paid 24m for him and that reason is still there, give him space in the box he is a pretty good finisher but we no longer have players that can give him a few chances a game and he would just be marked out of it if we stuck him up front because there is nobody else to worry about. I mean this guy still managed to bang in goals under the negative manager that was McLeish. If we went out and signed two decent wide players and some sort of creative CM Id have no problem sticking Bent back up top. We have to learn to play football though first, quicker passing, movement, overall better players. Ruud Van Nistelrooy was the closest thing I have seen to Bent but even him in his prime would be useless for us now. Bent isn't the problem it is the players around him and how we set up. If we got a new manager in I reckon we would see Bent back next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suttonpaul Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I don't disagree as such but most teams pack out the midfield and teams tend to play 4 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 1 In teams like this Bent is ineffective. under 4-4-2 he is very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StanBalaban Posted May 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2014 MLS would suit Bent down to the ground I reckon. Let's hope both Darren Bent and the MLS also concur. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 You kind of have to hope QPR come up as they'll be the only ones daft enough to sign him. Either that, or he'll head off abroad to Turkey. Whatever happens at the club, I seriously think his Villa career is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
