My problem with Bent and Defoe upfront:
FRUSTRATING TO WATCH.
They would probably score almost as much as Keane and Berbs over a whole season but who the hell wants to watch them two squander, offside, disappear etc etc for 50 games?
I always said Bent will get you goals, but he seems to be on the losing team more often than not because he never creates and means we lose a lot of balls and have to deal with counters when we try and slip the ball into his path.
This is going to be a long, hard scramble back up the table and so far I am impressed with Harry but not the Defoe and ubiquitous Downing link.
