McCarthy offers word of caution over Bent deal
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy believes there is no guarantee Darren Bent will instantly produce the goods for relegation rivals Aston Villa if his £18million move from Sunderland is completed.
McCarthy has to deal at the other end of the market to Villa, who have already signed midfielder Jean Makoun from Lyon for £6million.
He has no complaints about having to compete on an uneven playing field but also knows money does not ensure automatic success.
Former Sunderland boss McCarthy said: "Good for Villa. I wonder what Martin (O'Neill) is thinking?
"It seemed to me that they wanted to sell players.
"But good luck to them. There's nothing we can do to affect it."
