We've been linked with Villa several times; with Rafa's Spanish connections, I think if we were going to get him we'd have him by now, especially as we spent nearly £20m on 2 strikers this summer.
There are a lot of stories about Bent - an early January sale could give Charlton £10m-£12m to spend on 3 or 4 players which they may feel give them a better chance of avoiding relegation. Also, they'll be aware that if relegated, Bent would be leaving anyway for about half that amount.
