      It does when you have around 4 wingers & only John Carew upfront.

        They have Downing and Albrighton.

        Young was playing off the striker when all three fit. Does make sense.

        Breaking news on SSN now.

        Bent put in a transfer request, accpeted by Sunderland. Initial £18m fee rising to £24m.

        Great signing for Villa. Guaranteed goal scorer. No way Villa going down now.
        Forwards.......

          I rate Bent. Fee rising to £24m seems high though, but it sure puts paid to the idea that Learner's not going to spend anymore.

            Jesus christ! He's been crap this season, think its something like 4 goals from open play. Prices are out of control but if thats what you have to pay its what you gotta do.

              Seems a strange move from Sunderland's point of view though.

              And Bent's too - why did he put in a transfer request? What's upset him at Sunderland?

                £18m and he can't even get in the England squad.

                    Hows it strange? They are getting £18m for a player, who is not worth £18m!

                      That is true, but then again if he saves Villa from the drop then it will be worth every penny spent.

                        He is also a player who guarantees them goals every season.

                        Money is great, but if you cant get a better replacement, what is the point?

                        Which striker, who is proven in the PL and can guarantee 20+ goals per season, is going to go to Sunderland?

                        And Sunderland are also 6th right now, on the cusp of Europe. They should be building, not selling their biggest assets.

                          Suarez, Bent is a great finisher but offers nothing else.

                            Suarez. As Tompkins said on Twitter, LFC need someone to play off Torres and work with him, not a poorer imitation of him.

                            As for the fee, it's high but Villa have to pay as they need goals and he brings that. Relegation looms otherwise.
                            Forwards.......

                              They have Gyan who has scored a few goals for them. Maybe Bruce is resting all his hope on him.
