Spurs signed him last year when they didn't really need another star striker, the result was a loss of form and confidence in Bent. We, on the other hand are struggling for strikers. We have Torres, but in his absence we have no-one to fill the void. Crouchie's not pacy enough to play on his own up front (which is why IMO he will be sold), and Kuyt and Voronin play better when in a supporting role. I don't believe it's totally out of the question to sign Bent, he would add something to the team. It's certainly a topic not to be sneered at like most people are doing.
I can't believe the fickleness of people on this forum, especially the more knowledgeable posters. Bent is the villain after one bad season, yet Arshavin and Villa are the heroes after a couple of decent Euro '08 games. I didn't see many people (or any in Arshavin's case) banging on the door for their signings. Villa was even being touted for 15M prior to the tournament.
DING! DING!
All aboard the next bandwagon!
