Villa Gets Past Man City with Bent's Foot


Can you believe it?  Darren Bent gets signed and in his first game with the Villa, he scores his first Villa goal and it turns out to be the game winner.  As we watched, holding our breath every second, we joked about how that was the 24M goal and IT WAS WORTH IT.  The defense also withstood the desperate onslaught of shots being taken by Man City in the final 20 or so minutes

These 3 points have the potential to turn our season around.  There should be a ton of momentum and confidence.  First win in that last 11 games.  It's been a looooooooooong time.   UP THE VILLA!

Darren Bent to Villa for £18million rising to £24million

Villa signs Darren Bent (coming from Sunderland) for a transfer fee of £18million, which could rise to a total of £24million.   Bent does bring a legitimate scorer to Villa's front line, but will this actually translate into goals for the rest of the season?  Villa and we supporters are counting on it!

The Telegraph "Darren Bent insists he did not pursue £24m move to Aston Villa for the money"

The Guardian "Darren Bent heads for Aston Villa in record £24m deal"

MSN Sport UK "Bent agrees terms with Villa"
