Exactly this ^. I don't think it's RL, PF or PL's style to promise a future release guarantee when they have no clue what his future value will be. If CB bags 30+ league and cup goals and has a great WC, he'll be worth £40m+ so why restrict ourselves to say £25m? It must have been a very persuasive meeting to get CB and his agent onside for a potential 4 years without a release clause. I expect £55k/week helped but when other suitors would offer similar or more, it's great work by the club. EDIT: I can't help but think I've just jinxed us where CB bags barely a dozen. :-(

Some people need a 'hook' to make their final decision. Watching Benteke at Villa Park is as good a hook as any.

I expect they throw a dart at the outline of a body and report on where it hit. Really? I've always thought those who write for that paper didn't know their arse from their elbow. They don't. The dart hit the head.

Is Zog actually in the bomb squad or simply part of the first team squad, albeit not usually in the starting 11?

I scored an own goal and gave away a penalty and we lost 3-2. Awkward. It looks like you'll have to settle for being part of 'an honest bunch'.
-
No. I believe the add-ons were linked to the success of our club and therefore the only add-on paid was for staying up after we'd signed him in the January. I think the total transfer cost we'll have paid for Bent will be around £19m; certainly not the £24m that the media always quote (I think we'd have had to qualify for the CL to get near that).

He thought that side was protected by his wall. Next time he'll ask for more than TWO men!
-
I enjoyed his comedy very much right through my teenage years to my twenties. Sad to see him pass.
-
If we can get a good AM and sort out defending from corners - top 8 is possible. It's a big 'if' though.

Correct - served 1 match ban against wigwam

Funnily enough I had a bet tonight with my blue nose brother that Benteke would score more than 9 Premier League goals next season.... Assuming he doesn't break something early on in the season, I think you're safe. I wouldn't dare to suggest that CB is guaranteed to score 16+ leagues goals, but 9 or less?! There's a chance you'll have won by New Year!

First goal conceded was unlucky, the second more concerning. Good connection on the header and a very sweet strike for the free kick. Away kit looks good imo.
-
It's working here. I'm still getting the same error too! No video for me. Still Jack said he's been told 'it's fixed so we'll just have to go with that'.

I think you mean 'golf........ er.. material'

10 subs coming on at the same time!

The London press do seem to have played it down a lot - I wonder why? Before I get too defensive the BBC biggest national news and sport channel, Radio 5, did have Benteke's new contract as their main football news this morning (ahead of citeh's £22m signing).
-
You must have missed when Jack told us they are playing with 3 footballs today.
-
Quickly followed by the conference call ending. I hope he remembers to dial back in after his pie.
-
Jack's promised to keep me 'in the loop' and guaranteed me highlights. I feel special but they should drop the last two letters from AVTV. You should have a ST instead!
-
Why do we need video when we have Jack's perfect picture painting commentary? I mean what more do you need than "ball hit forward like the trajectory of a Lee Westwood 4 iron". The fact that he didn't mention which team or player shouldn't matter. I'm just happy to know it's tea at Lords.
-
It may have had something to do with the fact that he handed in a transfer request? Didn't Barry during his 'nailed on to liverpool' move? Also many of the 'he's off' comments were pre-request!
-
I still don't know why those who thought he would leave this summer were so confident. Words like '"face it, he's off" and "if he was staying he'd have signed by now - he's gone" were common. Was it their dodgy ITKs or their unnecessarily negative hunches? I'm not claiming I knew he was staying, far from it, just that I couldn't see any evidence that he was definitely off as many were claiming. It seemed more prudent to wait and see.

Weren't you concerned about Smalling's well being? The guy went in to spasm* for Christ's sake! No nor me. *Until he realised the ref wasn't buying it.
