I added a footnote, thinking Alfmaster had included Ipswich's 2 playoff matches in 2002, as there were 2 more apps than the stats offered by soccerbase.com. I have since realised that Bent played a total of 4 playoff matches, so I've changed my edit to reflect soccerbase.com's figures, which don't include playoff games as league games. sʟυмɢυм •

the goal stats are incredibly vague. i came to see how many goals he's got in each season at charlton instead i'm given a collative total. someone please fix thing.
Using Spurs "fan site" as a source will be deleted.
Payment
Is there any truth in Spurs paying Charlton the money in installments over three years?
I have never read anywhere but on here that the fee for Darren Bent was £22.5 million. Everything else I have ever read has suggested the fee was £16 million. Any idea where this information comes from?

Lead is three paras, too long for the rest of the article. I'd just have one intro para which discusses his club progress and one following para which describes his international career.
"On May 8, 2006, Bent was omitted from England's World Cup squad. Since, he has been a regular in the England squad, but has only played one more game. As of 2007 he has played 2 games, scoring no goals" needs citation.
"He scored his first FA Premier League goal on April 24, 2002 in a 1–0 win over Middlesbrough, but the 2001–02 season ended in relegation for Ipswich." - still not a logical sentence, he scored a goal but the season ended in relegation?
"The 2003–04 season finished with Bent scoring 16 goals, which was followed by 19 goals in the 2004–05 season, which made him the team's second highest goalscorer for the season." has "season" three times.
"On the opening day of the 2005–06 FA Premier League season, Bent scored two goals on his Charlton debut against Sunderland.[12] He was named the Premiership player of the month for August." - flow ",[12] and was named..."
Spurs Website
Juande:Important win claims Bent has 100 career goals, but figures don't stack up. 37 with Ipswich, 55 with Charlton, 5 up to 8 march 2008 + 1 he scored against WHU as per article, only gets to 98. Anyone know where the other 2 goals are? penalties in shootouts? playoff matches? --

Also, the commentator on my live video feed also said "finally he has his 100th, he's been on 99 for a long time" or words to that effect--

Shooting
His shooting of a 12 year old caused controversy at the time, considering he was 18 and an Ipswich first team player. Why was this section removed? Once again the wiki fascist editors know nothing. If you google it, or ask any Ipswich fans you will find out this is 100% true and a notable story for this article, not many young pro- players shoot 12 year old kids do they? I remember the away fans chant even today "hes quick, hes black, he shoot kids in the back... Darren Bent.... Darren Bent."

the claim that manchester city made an offer on the 17th jan 2011 for bent. the reference cited (the bbc sport website) makes no reference to manchester city making a bid and the claim should be removed. —Preceding

I notice that certain information in the infobox has been drawn from Soccerbase. Soccerbase is a betting site, so I think the Premier League would be preferable for sourcing information.
