Well finally people are now realizing, what I have been saying for years this man is clearly not good enough to play for Aston Villa in my opinion. Just what does he bring to the team, does he lead the line, score goals, create chances for others? the answer to this again in my view is no. He used to be extremely fast however this aspect of his game is now diminishing. I am struggling to see how he can hold onto his place in the team right now and would suggest that Bent is now afforded the same length of time to prove himself; well at least until Benteke and Kozak are ready to come back into the team. Yes I know some people will come on here and state how much he loves the club and all of this nonsense. We all love the club every bit as much as what he does, unfortunately this quality alone is not enough to play in the premier league. I'm afraid his number is up and I for one will be glad if this happens sooner rather than later.

Paddy with all due respect I can't recall him being brilliant for 10 game bursts, 4-5 maybe and that was quite some time ago. In my view he has had a free ride for a long time and I just feel the game is up.
Drop him and move forward although in fairness to Gabby I do see a role in what is now fashionable to be termed an impact player from the bench.

How long have villa been doing genetic experiments on their players coming through the youth academy now?As grafting a 70-year old's head onto a thirty year old body has been a resounding success with Gobby!

Yes your right, but the likelihood is that he will again disappear for the next 8-10 games.
