PaulC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm not so sure he has been very fair to Bent who has a record of a goal in nearly every other game in the Premier League, Injuries have cost Bent as well but although he plays in a different position I am not sure he should be picking Bowery when we have a proven top class scorer on our books.

Shillzz Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 He's been fair to Bent. It's not like he's been dropped for an inferior player; we play with 1 main striker - the best one we've had this century. It's unlucky for Bent, but it's not a deliberate act of bias by Lambert.

PaulC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yes very true. I think Benteke is the best we have had since Andy Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Actually, where is Dunne ? Is he injured or just an outcast ? Or both I mean you don't even see pics of him on the OS doing community work ? When was he last seen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Read on twitter that he was out for the rest of the season. Doubt we will ever see him in a Villa kit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dropped for an inferior player early on in the season when Bowery was on the bench while he was left out the squad completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Bent couldn't play out wide thought, that's what Bowery was there to cover. He's got Benteke, Weimann and Agbag already in the team who could can play that solo position up front better than Bent. Every time Bent has played this season, he's been poor.

He may have been carrying a knock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Dunne's contract out at the end of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) From the Telegraph Richard Dunne is facing the end of his Aston Villa career after Paul Lambert revealed he will not play again this season. Dunne has finally been ruled out of Lambert's plans after struggling with persistent hip and groin injuries and is expected to leave in the summer. The Republic of Ireland international's contract expires at the end of this season and he has not kicked a ball since Lambert's appointment last June. And though Lambert insists no decision has been made on extending Dunne's four-year stay, the 33 year-old's chances of a new deal appear remote. He said: "It’s unlikely he will play this season because of the injury he’s had, but he’s doing a lot better. "It’s an incredible injury and something I’ve not come across. He will just have to wait and see for his own career. You can’t talk about his future because the main thing was to get him fit to play the game of football and at the minute he is doing fine with his rehabilitation." Hmmm, looks like he might be on his way in the summer. Edited April 22, 2013 by Kingfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It’s an incredible injury and something I’ve not come across. I don't believe for one second that Lambert - a Glaswegian - has never come across alcoholism before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 There's more chance of us re-signing Habib Beye than offering Dunne a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Even if he was fit, on those wages and at that age he absolutely has got to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 bye bye you lump he was good for first season but crap since then. 50k a week what a waste, at least this will free up some wages for a younger cb preferably not so fat and loves his booze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
