Stockport_Villain Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Who cares as long as he scores some goals and links up with Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The fee is neither here nor there......we're spending!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Whatsherface on SSN is looking pretty tasty today. Gallagher is it? Yeah looking great. 10.6m (euros I assume).... interesting, they must really see something in him. Let's hope he becomes a star for us. Can't really comment as I've never seen him play.

KHV Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 well Benteke is the striker we have been looking for. 1 down 4 more to go, lets get a winger, a CM, a DM and another CB before midnight and the jobs a good un Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 To be fair, I'd imagine some people are of the opinion that this particular player isn't worth x amount as opposed to moaning about x amount being spent (I know nothing of the guy so can't comment) For instance if PL was to bid £20m for Leon Best we would all hit the roof.

Mantis Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I have no problem with the fee. It's what we should have been doing. Unfortunatey it's too little too late. Benteke is a good signing for us but it's not enough. And Mantis I clearly remember your defence of houllier and constant criticism of Mcleish. You don't think it was hypocritical, shock.Yes, I criticised McLeish more than Houllier. Am I not allowed to have different opinions on different managers?

Rodders Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 10 mil for benteke will still always be far better value than carrol for 35mil. it may be over the odds but not on a majorly insane level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 @mat kendrick Just to update on the Christian Benteke situation, it seems Villa have been given encouragement by Genk that a deal can be done #avfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 apparantly a very big german club had come in for him as well.. but Benteke had his heart set on England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milenko27 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Id happily take Benteke for 10 than Fletcher for 14.... What we paid isnt that important, more important is that PL gets the player he want/need in the team. Hopefully there is more to come. Still wish for a bad ass tackling cm tough cause i believe we are lacking the terrier type in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Positive news on Benteke now. We also really need a DM and ideally another winger so let's hope Lambert and Faulkner are planning on working right up until 11pm. No news on Warnock or Hutton leaving yet, which is disappointing. We should have just offered Blackburn Warnock and £2m for N'Zonzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
