Sounds promising. Hasn't he just signed new contract at City? Wouldn't fit into our plans long term then, but would everyone else take him for four months? Looks a talent. He fits in our new ethos of young talent. Perhaps after 4 months, all parties will agree that it is best if he stays with Villa longterm.

12th.

Ince off to Liverpool. Shame, I would have liked to see him at VILLA.

Would have liked to see Ince at Villa personally. Nice to see Liverpool spending the big bucks again. I personally think Ince will do well in the Premiership. He could have picked a better club though.

We've got that Teke feeling, Oh that Benteke feeling, We've got that Teke feeling, When he's on........song.......Woooohhhh ohhhhhhh ohhhh ohhhh!! If we make the final of the Cup.. Drink, drink wherever you may be, We are the proud fans of Benteke, Drunk and disorderly, try to shut us up, We're in the final of the Capital One Cup That's me done.

Great to hear. I did hear the railings comment. Great to hear pundits change their opinions. Top pundits admit when they were wrong.

What did nev say?

Dont you like them. LOL To be fair, I rarely post suggestions....Perhaps I should keep it that way.

Benteeeeeeeeeke, Benteeeeeeeeeeke, He's every defenders arch-enemy! Benteeeeeeke Benteeeeeeeke! Time for a feast, Let's unleash the beast, Benteeeeeeke, benteeeeeeke! LOL I'll stop now.

It has to be the Dontcha song surely. Dontcha wish your striker was Benteke......Dontcha! Or, We call him the Beast, As once he's unleased, He's our god-like figure, He belongs to the Villa, He turns on the style, With his immense strength & guile, He's Benteeeeeeke, Benteeeeeeeke! We wouldn't wish him our our worst enemy! Benteeeeeeeke! Oh, that's bad isn't it..LOL

Read my post again, Those comments were taken from the BBC comments page from Arsenal and Spurs fans respectively. But, I take your point. I tend not to come on this site much anymore to avoid the negative comments and attitude.

8 in 17 I believe.

Didn't know where to put these comments....But it is great to hear fans from various teams appreciating what we are trying to do. Arsenal and Spurs fans respectively. I know this is a bit of a side issue from the rest of the discussion, but did anyone else think Villa played really well? I have been amazed how well they've played this season compared to the results thy've got. I think someone said watch out for Villa in the second half of the season. I agree, and would add maybe watch out for Southampton too... Lately. you never hear a Villa fan moan. This young team are hugely impressive and are evolving and gelling at an incredible rate. There's no wonder any more why Bent is secondary.Come the second half of the season they are going to exact revenge and take some serious scalps. 　

Off the BBC match comments.. Christian Benteke destroyed Liverpool, the brilliant Belgium is worth at least double the £7 million Lambert paid for him! What a bargain!!! Am a Spurs fan but can't help but be impressed, the big front man has been doing it consistently for a while now and it's so important he stays fit for Villa's hopes this season! Lambert is a fine, fine manager and he's getting the best out if his team. Says it all really.

Leave me alone. lol Long few days. No sleep due to the cricket and now absolutely hammered. Thought Richard could enlighten us to more info.

Definitely 4 years. We have every right to put a ridiculous figure on his head. Not because we want big money for the guy, which we would be entitled to - but to warn off potential buyers. This is a player Lambert took a punt on and who many pundits and journo's alike thought was bang average and was a shocking addition. Now, we have scouted him, took a gamble on him. He has been with us for less that four months. Some people may say it's ludicrous, but for the current transfer market the way it is; with the length of time we have had him for, and adding the fact he is on 22 and is looking a complete striker with a bright future....I would put a £40m price tag on his head if anyone dared come sniffing for him in January or the Summer.

Indeed.

Benteke is trending Worldwide. LOL

Really Richard, what have you heard?

It's official. We have taken Benteke from another planet.......has the E.T neck going on. I do find it funny how a lot of Villa fans are almost saying there farewells already. Please just enjoy it. Don't even think about us selling him. Keep supporting him, he will become a Villa legend. He is already in love with the Villa faithful. Benteke is OURS!

Oh leave it out people. lol. I am pissed. How I forgot his brace I don't know. You could say I have been well and truly Benteked!

I agree with the top two. Also think we could bring in Ince. But unfortunately Zaha's stock has risen now. He will sign for a big club and go back to Palace for rest of season. What is Hughes like?

4 in the league I believe. Swansea, Norwich, Reading and Liverpool. I think...

Big no for Downing. We have started a new era at Villa.....Dont want a guy who was desperate to get out the first chance he got. That is not who I want playing for my club.

TWATTER. Salt pinching. VILLA _INSIDER‏@VILLA_INSIDER1 Paul Lambert plans double swoop of Dale Stephens & James Henry in January. #avfc
