BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted November 28, 2012 The BBC reporter asked him if Bent and Benteke can play together. Lambert''s response: "Bent and Benteke can play together - they did against Southampton. We got beat 4-1". Ouch! OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted November 28, 2012 ... and there''s a rumour that Bent has not been selected recently because he is close to an appearance or goal milestone whereby Villa have to pay another 5 million quid on his purchase contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]I think that is just a rumour, and nothing in it - I think it is probably from someone who plays too much Football Manager. He is on 20 goals for Aston Villa, and what would that milestone be? 21? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote](Should it be true); Regardless of the amount, 50 appearances is a very low threshold. Love PL''s response to those two playing together though!
