I'd like us to get in a replacement before Benteke left us, that would show we are moving on with this whole situation with our without him here

As i said in a previous message glad this has happened sooner rather than later..an i do hope he goes for all his exploits last season i've never warmed to him..bye bye all the best in whatever path you choose to take you will be forgotten quickly here

 

Reports saying they will bid 18m for him lol! These clubs really don't take Villa seriously now in the transfer market do they.. 18m pfffft!

Spurs are expected to wrap up the signing of David Villa before the weekend and are set to continue their spending spree with a bid for Benteke.

 

Well this didn't happen so I'd hazard a guess that they're talking out of their arse.

 

haha love it.  This is why i'd love Benteke to stay another season, so we can stick our fingers up at the London mafia (media)

You know i was reading that as Spuds won't try for him now

Blues could apply to have Ricoh as their home ground sell Sty and then we can go back to being the only Birmingham team like it should be

David Villa signs for Atletico for £4.4m (bargain!) so surely means they won't try for Benteke?!

Why?

Exactly Weimann is not likely to get a better deal than what was put on offer here or not much difference to make him reject it, if a club bids for Benteke, we're talking mega bucks.

Hence what is annoying me about this will he wont he saga, if he's holding out for someone to come in for him then he needs to go sooner rather than later, we all know he will go at some point, but is it unrealistic to at least expect someone to stay for more then one season?

Who said he wants to leave? we sort of have this idea that as he hasn't signed a new deal considering he has 3 years left, he wants to leave.

Thats a good point.  The only thing that annoys me and i assume a lot of other Villa fans is that we don't know, if we knew either way what he wanted to do then that would be ok, i dont buy that he's keeping his options open if that is the case then **** him off Lambert now and get in someone who is willing to at least see out at half his contract rather than 1/4 of it.

My only other suggestion is he breaks his metatarsal during the tour of Germany hence putting him out of action until Sept/Oct may put off potential suitors until after the transfer window has closed

I imagine once he's back with the lads training and around AVFC in general it may make him think more about where his future lies

If he did sign another contract or stay for another season then i think it would feel like a bit of a moral victory against the London mafia (media)

 

The more this drags on the less i'm starting to like Benteke, if anything his silence on this is worse than declaring either way his intentions

Not sure he is obligated to actually declare any intentions to be fair to him

 

That's a fair point but when you look at the likes of Michu who has declared he's staying at Swansea next season so they know exactly what they need to do in relation to building the team then it does get frustrating a bit...

I can see that preseason is coming up - 3 games in Germany this week? How do you follow your team in these matches, are there a live stream or is it "only" by live commentary on the web page or facebook/twitter?   I look forward to see how Lambert is going to use Helenius, i guess he will have a half or two in some of the matches.

If you manage to get any links for the live stream pass it on

If he's going to go i'd rather he go now instead of it turning into a Summer transfer circus.  We can then use that money to invest into the squad as i'm sure with that money Lambert has already got a replacement lined up and will have money spare to invest in a midfielder as well.  We'll benefit nothing by having him here at start of season only to leave on the last day of transfer window 

This won't happen, reckon we'll get Chadli if anything. 

League 2 existance or even Blue square is far more funnier for us and more embarrasing for them i think though.. they will still be around but be so insignificant they may as well be out of existance..but they won't be    

But all said and done i wouldn't want them to go out of existance just a good few yrs in league 1/2 and maybe a few meetings in cup games

Well lets hope so, in my eyes Benteke staying is as good as a new signing

ah right with you.  Sounds like they really are in the shizer then...league 1 beckons me thinks

How can someone sell their parachute money??

If we did god forbid end up doing a Coventry who would you ground share with? I'd go with Wolves

I'll stick my neck out and say Lukaku probably has more potential

i meant assuming they get there targets ie Higuin/Fellaini and possibly Rooney/Suarez, which all seem possible and at least 2 look definate

apearently chelsea want to pay 30mil for benteke and offer 75K/week -.- 

Dont get that when they have Lukaku who is almost the same player....in that case we will come back with £10 milling + Lakaku
