Worth the money

Just watch Darren Bent score his first Aston Villa goal 18 minutes into tonight's game with Manchester City. As I wrote this week he'll be the reason Villa stay in the Premier League, and though he cost nearly $30 million he is worth it if staying in the Prem means Villa will earn around $80-$100 million for next season.

Still early in the match and City may come back, but Bent's off the mark for his new club.
