It isn't irrelevant

I was talking about Crouch V Bent. In that context it is to me.

Heh.. I love Crouch but I think you're being massively harsh on Bent, it's not like he's had loads of chances (for England), and he got a fair few I'd wager while he was at Spurs and getting treated like shite (he also had a lengthy injury didn't he?). I think he's a really good striker, his goalscoring record is very good and he's the type of level we should really expect as back up, as in enough to also push for a first team place.

How is he going to push for a first team place? We have Fernando Torres up front and we play with one striker. If it was about goal scoring record, we'd have taken Owen back on a free. I expect better as a back up striker and so does Rafa too I suspect.

What? Contradiction alert, so as back up, if it's not about the goals, what the fucks it about then?
Better like who? David Villa?
