Curtains Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Really surprised at this to be honest. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/aston-villa/11511234/Aston-Villa-outcast-Darren-Bent-in-talks-for-surprise-new-deal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouRams Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm not it was clearly Lambert not favouring him. I work with a few Villa fans who were calling for them to play him again before the loan deal.A paragraph from the news article though - “I’m not ruling out going back, just like I wouldn’t rule out staying at Derby because they have given me a lifeline to play football and score goals again. But yes, there’s been discussions [with Villa] and we will have to look at it.He also has a lot of praise for Derby and Mac if we go up I think he will come to us.

Ambitious Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Bent would be a very good signing this summer, but not one I think we should break our neck for. I doubt anyone would on here would have him in our strongest XI when everybody is fit. It's not slight on him or his ability, but it's just the way the system is here. The loss of Martin, even with Bent's presence upfront, has hurt us.I'll wish Bent the best on whatever he decides to do in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackNwhites Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 He doesn't suit our system, I think we should be looking elsewhere whatever happens at the end of this season.He will suit their system though, Sherwood got the best out of Adebayor and that's what kind of player Bent is. He'd be better off at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I think in regards to a deal here or a Villa, the onus is on him to prove he is worth it. You may say he has done that already but if he slacks off for the rest of the season could harm his chances. The better he plays from now onwards, the better a deal he can negotiate. Not sure the timing of this news has any baring on our season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashz09 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hopefully stays if we go up. I think he'll sign on the dotted line before then for them. Would be great to get him for free with the price Villa payed for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 He wants to be in the prem,new manager at Villa has opened a door, he's keeping the options open. hardly a betrayal And he is waiting to see if we go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 no, his goalscoring stats testify to that! <doh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yeah, fantastic. Has he replicated that when we're playing the 4-3-3/4-5-1? He isn't a lone striker. He plays best in the 4-4-2/4-2-4 when we're chasing games, which is where he's scored the majority of his goals.No. I just don't think we should be over spending on a sub. The formation we play with a fit Chris Martin works brilliantly, it's the reason why we've looked so good since Steve Mac and co came in. Much prefer to look for someone of a similar ability, or potential, to Bent who is younger and hungrier, and cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Another case of football players and managers having short memories. Villa cast him aside and Derby gave him a lifeline...in talks with Villa about going back. McClaren cast aside by football in general, Derby give him a lifeline... almost certainly off to Newcastle. I don't know if its the £££, Stockholm syndrome, or a combination of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashz09 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 He had no beef with Villa itself just Lambert having a problem with him. Would be good for him to go back but bad for us. Don't mind thoe as we can focus on another hold up player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm still waiting to see Martin snd Bent upfront together.Should work very well, Martin as a playmaker forward and Bent doing what he is best at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
