AVFC Transfer Tweet‏@AVFCTransTweet2m

RUMOURS: Anzhi readying £23m bid for Christian Benteke. Id accept that as he would be abroad #avfc

haha would be funny if this came off

Helenius number 9 on the 2nd half team sheet

 There is no way we are going to stump up £25 million+ for him 

Then he wont be going and the compromise is you keep your pittance of a fee that undervalues our player and we keep our player

 

I'm not saying either set of fans are going to like it. But you don't do the negotiating. In reality a compromise is most likely to be met, that gives adequate protection for both sides of the deal.

 

 

Yes but it won't be near the fee you are mentioning, absolute no chance.

 

The point is no one knows what the final fee will be. The idea of such a structured deal is that it gives a decent degree of value to both sides. If Benteke proves to be the player your fans think he is, then you'll get the sort of fee you want. If he doesn't then you'll get a decent fee for a one season wonder.

 

 

We actually do, it will be closer to what our board want. You ain't dealing with a mickey mouse club here.

 

And no one would treat you as such. A compromise that satisfies both parties will most likely be met. Neither set of fans will be happy, as your want a big fee up front,uns whilst most Spurs fans are unsure about Benteke and wouldn't value him very highly. But the clubs will come up with a deal that offers protection for both sides of the deal, which is why a lump sum with possibility of significant performance related add on's is the most likely outcome.  

From reading a few spuds forums. The few spuds fans that actually have a clue about football can see how good he is and then like with all clubs there is plenty of plebs who just talk shit without actually knowing what they talk about.  Benteke is worth 25m, the only doubt is that he hasnt done it for longer than one season but the potential is there and thats what spuds would be paying for.

Undoubted quality but a very immature kid that could ruin his own career. Refused to go on loan whilst at Standard, went on strike at Genk and now is trying to force a move through after less than a year with us. I wish him the worst as I detest this type of individual.  Thanks for helping keep us up but Ill have a nice giggle if karma gives you a kick in the sack

Hmmm Luuk De Jong has 76 goals in 194 games but also has 48 assists.  He has 2 own goals as well so would fit in well...

I very much doubt journalists know Benteke's hopes and fears.

They are just making guesses because this is the current big story and they need to post copy in time for tomorrow's edition.

Or James Nursey is being fed info from the club as he was the one to break the transfer request story. And now Villa are getting the word out through him to get things moving with Spurs to see if they are gonna stump up the cash.  Either way just hope its over quick, cant stand the thought of reading this shite about spuds and Benteke all summer.

 

The more I learn about this prick, the more I want him gone. "Villas choice is Chelsea, but he prefers a move to Tottenham, because he is not sure if he would be first choice at Chelsea, especially concerning in a world cup year". Prick you were and would have been first choice here, stop the bollox excuses, all we asked of you was one more year at least. You made your bed now lay in it!

 

Haha you believe shit from the Mirror like it's true.       Seriously???

 

Well the mirror broke the story about Benteke handing in a transfer request and its not just them reportingit so it could very well be the case

 

Supposedly Bent has attracted interest from Wolfsburg according to Neil Moxley

I guess because Bas Dost didn't live up to the hype for his first season. I'd still straight swap though.

 

Yeah always a gamble signing a prolific striker from the eredivisie but I agree a swap would be better than having Bent doing nothing. 

I hope spuds stump up the 25m quick as Benteke wants to move there according to the press tonight.  If he doesnt get his move to them are we gonna have put up with a player that doesnt want to be here for a season?  This guy is the definition of a big time charlie and Ill be glad hes gone after all this unless he grows up in the next day or two and gets a grip!

Just read that he refused to go on loan while at Standard Liege.  Stinks of being a big time charlie to me

You say he owes Lambert for playing him over an established striker but if he hadnt we would be a championship side now. Lambert played him cuz he was class, not because he was loyal to him. He is well within his right to ask for a move

Class is permanent form is temporary.  we will see just how big an impact PL was on Benteke in the next year or 2 when he is playing under different managers and different stresses. 

No doubt he was amazing this year for us but that doesnt guarantee anything in the future. He has shown to me that he might have a bad attitude and still quite immature so we will see how he gets on when thigs get tough for him.

 

Get Charlie Austin in. Ive heard good things about him and that hes similar to Shearer. His strike rate is very Impressive (a goal every 144 minutes) even if it is lower league.  Maybe his deal to Hull fell through when he heard there might be a chance of signing for the Villa...

He failed a medical because of a knee injury.

 

Yeah I read that too but things are not always as they seem. he managed 37 league games last season so unless he got badly hurt near the end of the season its hard to understand how his knee is so bad.

Jelle Vossen please

Would love to get him and also Genk know how we operate now so hopefully the deal could be sorted quickly not like the Benteke deal.

What about Emmanuel Eminike.?  I watched him play vs Celtic in the Champions League and he was immense. He has a better than 2 in 1 strike rate but is 26 and is quoted at 12m Euro on transfermarket.com.

Well he forced a move out of Genk like this so history shows that this is how he and his agent operate. I have no doubt that if it comes to it he will go all out to get his move. The best way to judge someone is on their past behaviour.

 

Even Suarez has more class than Benteke as its being reported that he wont force a move away from liverpoo. disgusting

There's no suggestion Benteke is forcing a move away. He's simply handed in a transfer request, which we'll accept if our conditions are met. That's how football works, and until he actually starts acting up, there's nothing to suggest he's forcing anything. What he's done is making his desires known, it's up to us to either allow the transfer to happen or not

 

Yeah and imo that shows that he has no class and is a mercenery who couldnt care less that we gave him his chance and PL put great faith in him which imo was a big part in how succesful he has been over the last year. Since when is putting in a transfer request not equate to trying to force a move away?

Oh yeah. Let's just over look the racist shit then. Classy fella.

when Benteke goes around biting people and trying break players legs please come back to me

calm down ladies it was a joke...

I remember him posting a picture a few weeks ago on twitter with him all kitted out in Miami Heat kit and a Miami Heat cap doing a "gangsta" pose which made me think 'what a pleb'.  He is just your typical superficial youth of today and Im guessing the dizzy lights of London and all its razz'matazz have him drooling at the mouth.  I wish him bad karma and hope he gets thought a lesson out of all this. get it over with quick please spuds or whatever other team want this mercenery

Lukaku on loan as part of a deal is not out of the question tbf but extremely doubtful we would get him on a permanent deal as he actually has the potential to be just as good if not better than Benteke due to his age and performance last season.

Just hope we get someone in who does the business for us next season, Bony would of been brilliant but doubt we will be signing a replacement til Benteke is gone judging by the clubs statement that we want the deal done during pre season which Im guessing is to give us a decent amount of time to replace him and Bony's deal will surely go through tomorrow or Wednesday.

The future seems shite but also kind of exciting...

 

Its important to understand how big a part Paul Lambert had in Benteke having such a great season. He wouldnt of had so much faith put in him at a top 5 club and it could of been a completly different season for him and it could well be the case that at a club like Chelsea he wont have such an easy ride.

Im personally pissed off but in the same sense am not too worried about the future as I can see how Lambert got players like delph and gabby hitting top form and have no doubt that he will keep us progressing up the league and improving all around the club.

Would be quite sickened if Benteke ended up at spuds but this transfer request has come only a few days after Chelsea are being reported to be preparing a bid and them losing out on Cavani would strengthen that point so hopefully Benteke goes to chelsea for 20m + lukaku and lukaku has a stormer for us and takes the number 1 striker position for Belgium in the world cup and Benteke gets a bit of karma and thought a lesson in the process but doubtful we have a chance of getting Lukaku but thats my little dream that Im clinging to.

 

 

Absolutely zero chance of us signing Lukaku. Not sure why people keep suggesting it.

 

Well I did state that it was my little dream so I agree with you in a reality kind of way but we are all allowed to dream sometimes
