Fits in well at Twittenham Hotshit then

We should raise the price by a million every time they go squealing to the press. Could be worth 75 million by the time the week is out!

Ive never given that shit excuse of a club much time, and im now beginning to see why they attract some of the most deluded, arrogant and obnoxious people on earth to follow them. Classless lowlife.

Doug mentioned 25m yesterday. I also know that he was back at VP after his university gig. I have a feeling the club are drip feeding the price, which possibly means they have received no bids.

Wonder why they have selected the Spurs game?

Gareth Barry's former agent was a prat to. Remember the story he leaked to the media to try and engineer a move? Barry sacked him, Benteke will (at some distant point) end up doing the same.

Fortnight seems about right.

I'm not saying I'm ITK or anything, but I hear he has no kids. Anymore. Did he sell them?

Oh...and another thing. If you were Spurs are anyone else, would you want to risk 25m plus on a player that has not showed any loyalty to his former clubs? Would you want to risk 25m plus on the parasite baggage that comes with him? Kestwit, thats a double edged sword your holding aloft, and it may end up cutting off yours and your clients face

Fcuker deserves it. If his form drops and his World Cup place evaporates, then he MAY have learnt that his agent is a parasite and is wrecking his career. Still cant believe how THICK and STUPID they have made themselves look. Quite frankly, Kesmit has given his client very little room to maneuver. If we do not receive an offer that does not suit us, then the player can make himself look a bigger tool than he is looking like now, by playing up. Or he can knuckle down and use his talent to get him out of the hole he has been placed. Christian, find another agent mate, thats my advice.

Fixed for accuracy

Its quotes like this that makes me hope we are looking for more than 25m for him. If he plays up, fine him and get him training on his own until he realizes that his ego is destroying his career. For me, its about standing up against these ungrateful parasites whom are bringing the game to its knees. Let the world see what a pair of greedy pillocks he and his agent are if and when they hissy fit after not getting their way. Bigger stage? Villa Park is bigger than White Hart Lane. Or does he mean he wants to play on ITV4 of a Wednesday? Makes me seeth with anger mate. Hope he breaks his leg 5 minutes into his dream debut.

Precisely!

Thank you for answering my question. I had previously been led to believe that a price of minimum of £25m had been set, but it seems from your comments that this is not the case. My view of the situation has changed quite considerably.as a result. And we care??? Trot on.......

Doug Ellis has just said that they are looking for 25m.

Not to mention Spurs fans who want to milk Real for every penny on Bale yet think we should compromise on our own prized asset. **** the **** off already. Patronising rocket polishers. It's not patronizing. Villatalk can be so frustrating at times, as you take offence to the slightest of things. I'm not saying I think you should compromise, but that I think a compromise will be found. I think we should look at other targets, that's my opinion. I'm not or haven't patronized Villa in the slightest, yet, as is often the case the posters here go into ultra defensive mode. The patronising is probably unintentional. We're being talked down to because Spurs happen to be in a better position at the moment. There seems to be an attitude that we won't get what we want for our player - hence this compromise - when in reality we hold all the cards. There is no reason for us to compromise, in the same way there is no way you will compromise with Real. But you aren't being patronized or talked down to by me though. I'm not brokering a deal here or trying to get you too do what I want. I'd rather we focused on other options. I think Benteke is a good player, but not a priority for me. We have compromised with Real. We did so with Modric. Most transfers are essentially compromises. That you are unaware you are doing it doesn't make it less true. If you find the site so frustrating you are free to post on a Spurs one. Just wondering if being a spurs fan is reason enough to get banned, trent?

The culprit will be the first club to put in a concrete bid I wonder whether Kismet running his mouth off about Chelsea having no chance, has made it awkward for the offending club to make an offer. More than likely. I still think its Chelsea that is in for him. Spurs offer him nothing.

In the meantime, why do you think Villa will be interested in compromising from a position of strength on their prized asset. For context, think of Spurs selling Bale to Real Madrid. Why should Lerner not spit on his knob and bend Spurs over? Because Villa have said they'd sell the player and have a price in mind. They have access to our accounts and no what sort of fees are viable. The compromise works both ways. I doubt Levy would want to potentially pay over £25 million for the player. But I think it's far more likely a resolution is found than Benteke stays at Villa. This is of course if he is even a real priority for us or if the options are as limited as has been suggested. It's only been a day since we lost out on our number 1 target. You think we give a shit what is viable for you? We don't want to sell, a fee non-viable for you suits us very nicely. As to you giving offence, I've never taken offence before at any of your posts and have generally found them a good addition to this site. However, that complete bollocks about you effectively coming in and taking a highly prized asset and doing it on your terms was offensive. Your notion that we should give a **** about whether the signing would be any kind of risk for you and one we should "share" or we should have any interest in "protecting" you against a potentially bad investment was astoundingly arrogant and verged on the moronic. I had come to expect better of you and you deserve any hammer you get for that crap. It's not offensive in the least though. Go and read my original post of the subject. I start with the works "if a deal can be struck." I've not suggested we'd take a player on our terms. I used the term compromise. There is nothing arrogant is suggesting both sides of a deal what want to protect themselves as much as possible. FFS, will you just give it a rest. Your opinion is fine, but would be better off on your own clubs forums where you can all share your deluded viewpoints.

If anybody deserves to have his email flooded with abuse then its this tosser. Not being funny, but the last time i remember, the Belgians were not very good at fighting wars.

Not sure if he fancies it, but I will certainly go if offered!

I stopped here. You missed out then, because it was a very good post. No arguing

I stopped here.

Im with you on that, however...it wont happen. Bents attitude has seen to that, and its something that has followed him around at clubs. On the plus side, Lambert must be pretty confident in having a replacement for Benteke lined up if his prepared to lo lose both players, and despite whats reported, I think he will not be an unknown. Bent's attitude ? For me Lambert seems to the one with the Bad Attitude towards Bent. Bent has not complained about having a useless turd Bowery playing ahead of him. His attitude has been fine for me - unlike for example Ireland he clearly can't be arsed. Bent can be arsed and wants to play say whatever you want about his work rate he scores goals. Something that when Bentekke goes will have little off. Not publicly, but privately? He has always been known to sulk about when he does not get his way. Im not slamming him for that since that's just the way he is and i would love to keep him. But vice versa, Lambert may see it as an attitude he does not want at the club, and lets be fair, he has been pretty ruthless with that since he been here. He could have handled it differently, but its probably not in Lamberts make up to go back on a decision, and i guess Bent himself no longer fussed about Lambert either. Uncle Dough would have been banging their heads together!
