To be fair the lad HAS delivered for the past two seasons for a struggling charlton side and at the end of the day is proven in the premiership. I for one am sick of the amount of strikers we sign from a forign league with apparantly 'great' goalscoring records who time and time again fail to deiliver. Morietnes , cisse and to an extent although he is still a really good player and worker to have in the squad Dirk Kuyt have all failed to adapt and hit the 20 league goals mark we all despertaley crave.
In my opinion I think everyone is in a way getting carried away with the fact we seem to have a hefty transfer budget and belive we should be signing etoo and players of his nature but a prime example of why this is not always the best option is the bad season shevchenko and ballack have just endured for chelsea.
also the fact berbatov has been a huge success although his goalscoring record in the bundesliga wasnt as good as cisse's in ligue un.
im not saying we should definatley sign bent and that he will be a huge success @ anfield but I dont see why he dose not have the potential to do so over anyother of our striking transfer targets
it takes time to adapt to the premier league style of play....its a physical league where strikers do not have much time on the ball....in spain, it is quite different...strikers have time to do as they please around the 18yrd box. you cant say they 'failed' after only being with us for 12 months...
give cisse a break, he broke his leg...
give these guys a chance...morientes went back to valencia, and had a great season...
so they just need time and patience to adapt to the EPL....
we havent won an EPL due to our lack of goal scoring...
would you be proud to wear a darren bent jumper?? i know i wouldnt...he is way over priced...
