Now I am sure we have all had enough of this story, but I thought I would add my all to this. Apparently Mr Bent thinks he was so very hard done by. Yes he was top goalscorer, but surely a striker should be? The worst 2 years of his career, well the giddy heights he reached with Charlton and Ipswich must have left him completely satisfied. All said and done, the worst thing that hapened to him was Harry Redknapp saying his missus would have scored that absolute sitter. Did he watch the replay? A free header from what six yards out, how could anyone miss? Remember that Acimovic miss against Fulham a few years ago and where his career went from there.
Darrent Bent was a good player I would say that much and I am probably being a bit charitable there. He was very good from two feet. Yes he had pace, but unfortunately he didn't carry the ball with him too often. I think a team that likes to play long would suit Bent but not a team that likes to pass the ball around. He was always going to be behind Keane and Defoe.
Whatever Darren Bent's footballing shortcomings are, his personal opinions are ones which I simply cannot accept. He has made his own frustrations public, which is personally insulting to me as a fan and is completely disrespectful. He is unfortunately though not unlike many footballers of this day and age who want to be treated like gods. They are not and should appreciate the very privileged lives they lead.
