    Been released by villa, would you take a punt on him? Good goal scoring record.

    Did very well for Derby last season and always had a good scoring record, the usual moaners will say no because he's 31 but as a free agent and a proven goalscorer it's a no brainer for me if we had the chance, more likely he'll go to Derby though!

    Did have a good campaign in Championship laat season, but isn't this the type of player we are trying to avoid?

    Great player but not one for a new wage structure.

    Does that make me an 'ITK'?

    Glad to hear he's joined Derby. We would do well to avoid.

    Strange the way Paul Lambert wouldn't start him when he was villa record signing and they needed goals

    Never sign a player on his way down, sign them on their way up

    Bent would be the worst type of signing, shocking attitude and work rate

    Enjoy Derby

    10 goals in 15 games for them last season, shockingly poor work rate!!

    Yes - you've got the best hit rate of anyone in the history of the board (including the serious ITKs) so tell us more....

    Further to Darren Bent, news reaches us that he has signed for Derby County after being released by Aston Villa.
    The former England striker scored 12 goals in 17 appearances during a loan spell at the Championship club last term.
    Derby have also confirmed the signing of Republic of Ireland international defender Alex Pearce from Reading.

    What's the story with the guy? I really thought that he was a good signing by Spurs at the time. Another one that didn't make the most of his career.

    Not sure I want to risk my 100% record and lower myself to the other so called 'ITK' types on here!

    By that stupid logic Charlie Austin is a crap player for not firing us to safety?

    Perhaps he was not the great messiah???

    Well the 'logic' in my argument was that Derby were doing just fine without him, top of the table in fact.

    They then bring in Bent who despite on paper produced a good goal return, offers a team nothing defensively, nothing in the air, and get's dispossessed frequently.

    They then finish outside the play offs.

    Was it all Bent's fault? Of course not, but there's a reason Villa wanted nothing to do with him, a reason Spurs got rid of him etc.

    Why would you want a 31 year old signing for us who is akin to the SWP's, Bartons?

    Expensive managers and England internationals on the way down? I hope we got money for selling them our blueprint for the last four years!
