...Maybe. But, and this is the biggie, he
scores goals, and lots of them. That's something
every team needs, surely?
Look at this way,
if Darren Bent scores 20+ goals (next season), which is he capable of doing, and, I dunno, Villa fluke a Champs League place, surely that's value for money? Big if's and buts I accept, but he is a proven scorer at Prem level.
