Bent has succeeded at shit teams where he can run onto through balls against invariably better opposition who are playing higher defensive lines.
Have a look at every single game we play at Anfield. Every team that plays against us defends deep and let's us play in front of them, cos they know we only have one uniquely different player in Suarez. Every inter cunt like Downing doesn't have the Bioity to do something brilliant in tight spaces in and around the box.
Throwing Bent into that mess would just compound the problem. He's a good player, but he's not the player we need. We need quality, technically great players who can create something out of nothing. Look at United - Rooney, Nani, Hernandez, Berbatov. All different, all capable of something out of zero in a tight space. None of those cunts hang onto the shoulder of a defender and wait for a through ball because throu balls don't happen against teams that are defending on the edge of the box for 90 minutes.
Bent, like Downigng and Carroll isn't a bad player, but he'd be the wrong player for us.

This is generally true. We did succeed in paying deeper for Torres' benefit though, a few years ago. But I generally agree that our best option is players that can work in tight areas; ie the best players, are what we need.
