| He's worth every penny, that's a coup for Aston Villa! |
| He won't live up to that price tag. |
Sunderland striker Darren Bent has handed in a transfer request after Aston Villa made an £18million move for the England international.Bent has been a regular scorer for the Black Cats since joining from Tottenham 18 months ago, he has scored 36 goals in 63 appearances during his time on Wearside following his £10million switch from Tottenham.
That\'s a desperate signing for Aston Villa and it could well backfire. It\'s better to get relegated without spending so much on a player in the process...
