Problem!! If we do sell in the summer we are back to square one. How are we gonna ever build a team if everytime we have players that are quality we are forced to sell. Its gonna be really hard to keep competing.

because you'd hope with the 20-25m we'd get, we'd spend it on 2/3 quality players that should add to the squad. 

but with our club? who knows. 

We better brace ourselves for the annual spurs bid for Benteke miles short of our own valuation of course

We value at 25m 

Spurs bid 14.25m 

Sounds like a good compromise eh?  

**** tards. 

Believe Carruthers got an assist today for MK 

Sprinted 100 yards to score his goal according to MOTD

Match of the day running a vote on twitter, tweet #YES to @BBCMOTD if you thought he dived. 

 

1 mistake at end with a miscontrol but except for that he was rock solid

 

and that tackle on Monreal 

 

That tackle!

 

Can I has gif? Anyone?

 

Definitely! 

GIF PLS!

Did a sweet back heel in the 2nd half for delph who crossed the ball into the box but no one got on the end of it.

When people cotton on in that league that the only way to deal with him is kick him then thats what is going to happen for the rest of the season.

Did any of the other players get booked?

The beast is on his way.

How soon we forget

This makes me sad  

^ So unbelievably true

I know one thing Mr Parton, if Ray Graydon was crossing the ball Benteke would have an absolute goal feast & both he & Ray would be performing cartwheels celebrating in front of a joyous Holte End.

 

I still say Graydon was our best crosser of a ball even to this day. He was one of the main reasons why Andy Gray scored 29 goals in 1977 & why Brian Little & John Deehan regularly found the net too.

 

ps - Both you & I would be doing cartwheels in the Holte End too, even in an all seater stadium

I love hearing Uncle Ray's stories, his league cup penalty story still remains his best.

Benteke would be beasting on the crosses though, but that Matty Lowton cross was a good'un, always wanted to try Lowton as a winger just whipping balls in for big Ben. 

I honestly thought more players would have congratulated Benteke after scoring as its been quite a while since he scored. But as i said, it was 1-2 and they may have just been wanting to restart the game quickly. 

Good signing, hope he does well! 

I think hes coming.

Just a hunch or do you know something? 

Haha was just speculating thats all.

Hopefully when he scores another important goal we'll see the players celebrating with him again. 

From another angle. What a ball from Lowton.

 

The only thing that slightly made me uneasy after this goal was that (now i may be wrong here) but i think only Vlaar and Bacuna congratulated him on scoring the goal. I know yes it was 1-2 and we probably wanted to restart quickly but you'd have thought more people would have congratulated him. Secondly you can see as he scores the goal in the gif none of the players throw their hands in the air to celebrate the goal like they were doing last season.

I may be reading way to much into this but it almost feels as if the team are emotionally distanced from Benteke, giving us a further clue he'll be off in the summer. 

I wish he'd come back

Phil Dowd sends off Nemanja Vidic.

Villa seal a comfortable 2-0 victory over 10 man, Manchester United, to win their first trophy in 15 years. 

This thread is making me sad. 

Smells just like all the other good players we've been linked with.  (Coutinho etc..)

They always end up going to the better club, that pays them higher wages. 

I think he just goes to watch every youth game anyway. 

 

I would have thought Paul Lambert would have at least some contacts from his time in Germany?  

 

Haven't we also got Michael Henke as our chief scout or something?

 

Thought he left

Thought we'd learnt from last time - don't think this is happening .

would love him here nonetheless. 

That last 15 minutes was pretty much hoofball though wasn't it.
