sne Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Can't see the point in this potential signing, very unprofessional player. Wonder how many days it will be before the first Keane vs Bendtner bust-up. Guess it will be good news for the Birmingham pub industry Edited July 8, 2014 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 More effective and less expensive than Bent. No world beater but an upgrade on Bowery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 We don't even need another striker. Bent is available now and hes better than Bendtner. We don't really need to fill the squad wih crap players. We already have quite a collection. Kozak must be close and Benteke wont be that far off in September. Gabby and Wiemann are still around. Waste of money. Sign a DM instead.

Spoony Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Another Stephen Ireland, basically. This.Incidentally, how would we afford his wages?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevangrealish Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Does this mean Bent &/OR Helenius are on their way out... ? Benteke,Gabby,Kozak,Bendtner,Weimann and Robinson all strikers even with them two gone. In saying that I dont want to see Bent go and would probably prefer him over Bendtner.

KSV Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Me too Kev. He scored the only goal in my only visit to VP against West Brom a few years back. Have a soft spot for him.Maybe Bent is off to Turkey. Helenius is probably going home. Who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been rumours on Twatter the last few days that Bent will be sold and Helenius is going on loan back to a club Denmark apparently, he's already been training with this new club. I forget the name of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Bent is off to Turkey. Helenius is probably going home. Who knows. The problem for Villa having Bent here is wages and he's a lazy word removed when not scoring. If he don't score for 5 games that means he's done feck all for 5 games. May as well play with 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 With Bowery gone and Helenius apparently on the way out, it doesn't shock me that we're in for a striker. However, it does shock me that we can afford this guys wage demands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors in Denmark is that Helenius wants to go back to Aab... And they want him to either on loan or as a signing... The only thing in the way is the price AV wants.. they are still haggling about the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Dog shit player of the highest order, would be an absolutely dreadful signing. Edited July 9, 2014 by Dr_Pangloss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 We'd have upgraded from last season when it comes to Danish strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it does shock me that we can afford this guys wage demands. I think wages are less of an issue as Randy will view them someone else's problem somewhere within the next 12 months. Transfer fees can't be passed on to the next guy so can't see us spending much here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 8, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) If this goes through it gives me a very similar feeling to the signing of Kozak. I don't mind the signing all that much, but it shouldn't be priority, an attacking & defensive midfielder should be priority IMO. I know we've signed Cole but he's going to be fit for about 8 games this season. Edited July 8, 2014 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer fees can't be passed on to the next guy so can't see us spending much here. I agree with that idea to be honest, I just hope we don't let things spiral out of control again. Bendtner's demands a month or so back were apparently £100k+ a week, even if we get him for half of that it means he'll be one of our highest earners. Meanwhile we still haven't got Vlaar, Delph, Gabby or Grealish signed up to new deals. Fingers crossed we see some positive movement on that front alongside this deal (if it happens).

PieFacE Posted July 8, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2014 I just can't see this happening unless he's willing to be on about 35k a week. Which is unlikely IMO, when teams like Stoke and Hull are willing to pay big wages I think he'll end up at one of those clubs. In fact, I think he will end up at Crystal Palace.

I could see offering a free agent £40k per week, which over 3 years works out at £6.24m in wages. I can certainly see that over paying £3.5m and £25k per week, which equates to £7.4m spent. Bendtner isn't going to get £100k per week here (or anywhere I doubt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
