We should do a BOGOF offer here. Buy Bent and take any one of Ireland Hutton or Given as a freebie.

Why is Carroll getting more mentions than Benteke in a thread about Benteke?

Absolutely brilliant news. We must get drunk. Immediately.

End of the 1st week in August!! That won't allow much time to find a replacement or spend the £37.5m fee

Has our deadline passed now?

Hi , is this the Christian Benteke thread?

No bids within our timeframe ? Therefore he stays ?

I'm hoping upon reflection he's changed his mind. And agent.

Surprise. Christian #Benteke travelled to Birmingham today. He'll join the squad tomorrow. No bid of #THFC has arrived. #AVFC

Piece of piss this football lark.

Loving the villa playing hardball. Faulkner can earn serious brownie points this summer if he plays his cards right

anyone know what time training starts?

9ish I'd hazard a guess.

Really no idea if he'll show up. 50/50 I'd say.

The babbies are 2-1 up at Boldmere, Grealish & Sellars, almost HT

How many years were left on his Genk contract ?

Actually less than 1 season

I don't think there's a set figure in mind.

 

You don't think Lambert has a clearly defined budget?

If the club play hard ball, they will gain further respect from myself. With the model we are adopting we need to be strong on this one, not set a future precedent for repeat behaviour. I actually think much of the football world will be behind us on this one, Benteke and his agent are truly acting disgracefully.

I give it another week before Gordon Taylor has to roll his sleeves up.

Tomorrow ? Isn't he due back on Thursday 18th?

Re interviews, that's a very good point. Did he do a single post match interview last season? Don't recall seeing him on Motd once ?

Defensively we appear consistent.

I think him and his agent are using spurs to smoke out other bigger clubs such as Arsenal. His agent is very snakey and slippery. The sought of bloke who would make your skin crawl from 100m away.

The only way spurs can afford him is when they sell Bale.

He's obviously easily influenced by idiots. Wasn't he hanging out in Vegas in June with the likes of Ireland, Nasri and Huddlestone. Seriously, wherever he ends up, he needs to get some better friends.

 

 

What's wrong with Huddlestone?
