I've been looking forward to doing this Player Profile since I started the blog! The reason is simple, there is pretty much nothing negative to say about him so far. He was bought when we were in a crisis, possibly a panic buy, but he was totally worth every penny that we payed for him. He single handedly kept us in the league last season with a series of crucial goals. He had an unforgettable debut as he scored the winner against a team that Villa fans in particular have grown to hate. He grabbed 2 goals against Arsenal aswell in a fantastic victory at the Emirates.
This season he has only scored 2 goals compared to Gabby's 4, however I think that our whole team is starting to turn a bit of a corner on the chance creation front which will undoubtedly lead to more Bent goals. He will never be a team worker and track back all the time but as long as he gets the service, the goals should start to flow which is something we have needed for a long time now.
Rating - 8.5/10
