Darren Bent joins Aston Villa for 18million pounds

The Bent transfer just goes to justify the decision by the bigger clubs to go for foreign players instead of an English. A decent player becomes a great one and good players become world class. For me, no way Bent is worth 18millions. There are better players out there who will cost less. Unless the english media starts to realise this and stop hyping on the "native" players, the national team will continue to suffer.

Bent is a really good player and I think he is worth 18mil. Bent will be a great addition to Villa. But for Sunderland, this is a terrible transfer. They tried to do everything they could to stop him from leaving but he decided to go. Now, they have one quality foward less and it will be harder for them to maintain their 6th place position in the league.

I think the one thing that goes in Bent's favor is that he has started every club in a goal scoring mode. But having said that I think 18 million is way over his sale price. I think it is a great deal for Sunderland and they can use this money to strengthen the squad. Cheers! Ram

i dont think that darren bent is so worthed for 18 millions pounds.. i know that he is one of the best forward in EPL but i predict he is only 10 millions pounds.. but i think we must congratulate to Aston villa..but what about position of ashley young and aghbolanhor??
