Darren Bent wants to stay with Aston Villa and get behind the new manager when he is appointed following the dismissal of Alex McLeish. The 28-year-old, who has struggled with injuries last season, was linked with a move away in January.
"But I signed for Aston Villa because I wanted to be here and I still do.
"I was linked with a transfer out of here all through January and I didn't want that then and I don't want that now.
"It's not been a great season but this is a massive club and we've got to make sure it is a blip that doesn't happen again.
"It is still a time of transition and we need to do our best to get behind the new manager." "People have asked if I was mis-sold the dream when I signed and if I'm honest I didn't think Ashley Young and Stewart Downing would leave in the same summer," he told the Birmingham Mail.
