He is the best striker we've had since Yorke and I think he has been poorly advised by his 'agent.' He was the only bright light in 5 years of complete shite being a Villa. Basically kept us up for 3 seasons and always capable of creating a goal out of absolutely nothing. I would love him back here (although it will never happen this season) and it sucks that he's going to play for a 2 bob club like Palace. I reckon he'll score 20 goals there this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 You never know, we make a glorious return to the prem and he'd be an obvious statement signing to make. Not sure he'd come back though. Depends how he does at Palace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 This will be a huge season for him, he really needs to play all the time to get up to his highest level. He should be able to do that at Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I said on another thread that Benteke should go out on loan to Palace then sign for us when we are back for 2017/18. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 On 18 June 2016 at 10:20, Ginko said: I agree with your sentiment on the whole and I wasn't fussed when Davis left (though I'd be ecstatic if we got him now) but I was bothered when we released Albrighton. Not only was he a local lad and a diehard Villa fan but I thought he was brilliant at what he did, if a little one-dimensional, and he offered a different option to the team that no one else did. Imagine how many Gestede would have scored with Albrighton whipping them in. It was inevitable that something like that would happen, due to the indecision and instability at the club. I am hoping that we might recover some"minds" from the debacle of last season....due to new ownership and management. I don't know what it was like at BMH but can only imagine the negativity and gloom was overbearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Persie would have absolutely no hunger to play well in the Championship. No more final pay day contracts. Just like how Ashley Cole would have been an awful awful purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Persie's still only 32. He won't be playing the Championship next season. Edited July 2, 2016 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 weve lost too many decent youth players over the years which would have been easy to keep, albrighton, whittingham, cahill, davis, gardner, just to name a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) If he comes back to England, it will be with a Premier team. Ed: According to wikipedia, he's scored twenty goals in 45 games for Fenerbahçe. So he must be doing something right.

Yeah playing in a shit league with essentially 2 1/2 semi-decent teams in it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I wouldn't be disappointed if we signed him. Which we won't. He'll end up somewhere like Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 He actually said another goalkeeper 'in Italy' rather than specifically an Italian goalkeeper. Apparently there's going to be more in tomorrow's paper (not sure which one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
