Because the last time I had a recently deceased player of ours as my avatar, you asked me who it was.

That's nonsense Neil. Sunderland, Charlton and now Villa have very different reasons for selling.
[/quote]

they needed money?
[/quote]

Why don't you ask the question why, bar Spurs, did the transfer fee go up every single time? Because he scored a ton of goals.

If it's 9M then we've landed a bargain. It won't be, though. It will be around 17M, and that's not worth it for me.

Villa need the cash to rebuild that squad, because after selling Young and Downing it doesn't work any more.

Exactly. The fee went down after spurs because he was a "failure", and at spurs he was once their top scorer AND had a fucking decent ratio considering his sub appearances

He's just unfashionable

The problem is though, we're looking at this from a very tight angle. We have a creative forward who doesn't score loads and we're missing alot of chances, so ergo, Darren Bent is the polar opposite, he offers not a great deal in terms of play, but he knows where the goal is and will put them away. Fair enough logic, the problem is when we have to change our style of play because Suarez isn't there or he goes or whatever. A year or two down the line you've got an average player who can score goals but is playing in a side with little cutting edge in the final third, in terms of creating out and out goalscoring opportunities.

Look at how we did again City, besides Downing's chance, we were all possession and huff and puff, it wasn't a side creating chances and failing to put them away, it was a side with a tonne of possession but no end product. The problem is we need another TOP, TOP class player in the final third, whether it be outwide or through the middle. Bent might be a logical option in the short term, but in the long haul he'd just be another average player taking big wages and not really being the match winner (ala Gerrard, Suarez, Torres) that we need.

mark knows.
that's said, those players don't grow on trees. how I wish we'd spent our 35m on llorente.
 
so, if we purchase bent do I have permission to offically turn on carroll (because currently I haven't)? I mean if the club have no faith in him (hence signing another striker) then why should I?

It's looking a big mistake, simply because he's just offering nothing, his general play is poor, his application is worse. I know he's young, I know we can persevere and I know he has potential, but he looks well short of the unplayable lad we faced at SJP last season. He doesn't fit our style anyway, we play it to him on the deck and he slows the play or fails to control it, we resort to long balls and it just plays into the oppositions hands and cuts out our build up play. We build up the play and cross it in to him and he's static, indecisive and he fails to anticipate things and make the run that allows him to attack the ball. It's just not happening and if we have to rely on him for a lengthy spell, we're going to struggle. We need a striker and he (Carroll) needs to seize what opportunities he does get or he won't be here long.

Buying Coates doesn't mean we've lost faith in Agger.
Buying Henderson doesn't mean we've lost faith in Gerrard.

Why is it with strikers that people don't think we need to have more options?
 
I'm still of the opinion we should work on getting the best out of what we currently have rather than looking for short term solutions to long term problems. ho-hum management knows best...
