who got the better deal

With Ashtons scoring record, i would have to say that Norwich got a better deal than Charlton..

so maybe in todays financial times, 2.5 mill going up to 3 mill on appearances for Bent is actually pretty good.

We did quite simply beacuse Bent isnt half the player Ashton is!!!

Ashton is a far better player IMO he's already proved he can score in the Premiership aswell, we did well to get 2.5 mill for him!

But Bent hasn't had a chance in the Premiership so we don't know how he'll cope yet (which I guess is why Ashton is worth a bit more now, although he was "unproven" in the Prem when Norwich bought him).

Anyone remember how much Birmingham paid for Robbie Blake?

I think that £2.5 million is about right for Bent although I would've liked a bit more to be honest.

Yeah i must say when Ashton went to Norwich i thought he would do nothing in the Premiership and for a time i was correct, but then he did start to score goals and i thought he is a good all round player, despite that i wouldnt have paid £3M.

As for Bent none of us can really say anything on the matter yet, he isnt proven at Premiership level. But despite that given time i reckon he could perform in it.

Ashton is the better player, which is even more unfortunate considering he's not leaving the scum :/

Ashton everytime, he was a hell of a buy for Norwich, and hes a better all round player, i really dont think Benty will do alot at Charlton
