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.

They're such big ifs and buts, i can't answer the question. If Villa made the CL, it clearly wouldn't just be down to his goals. If he'd be able to provide more to his game, maybe it actually would be possible.
For £24m, i'd expect a striker who scores, assists, links up play, etc. He only does the former to any great level, as his opta stats will back-up. Like i said; hence why the biggest and best teams have never once shown an interest in him. At least Andy Carroll, to some degree, has shown he's got a bit of depth to his game.
