Papillon Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Why would lukaku come to a lower ranked club on loan? He has done that already And if he goes to us and Benteke goes to Chelsea, that is the same as saying he agrees Benteke should play ahead of him in Brazil. Not going to happen!

djamfisher Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Cos he isn't a first team regular, and it's a world cup year. However, I beleive he has been promised more game tiem this year, so he'll probably want to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Arsenal will be in for him. Wenger was watching him before we got him. Chelsea wont be in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Arsenal will be in for him. Wenger was watching him before we got him. Chelsea wont be in for him. I agree. I can't see Chelsea needing him when they already have Lukaku who looks a better prospect. Arsenal have shown they have £30m to spend on a striker, Wenger may switch to Benteke if Suarez and Rooney is a no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted July 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2013 Itll be a target man. NH isnt a target man. by all accounts he has great touch. he may not be a target man in the traditional british lump it at his head style but if you play it to him and he has the skills to control it and then keep possession then thats good enough for me.

I still think he will want one target man. He wanted Andy Carroll (who reject us) before we got Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 9, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2013 I must say I'm impressed with the reaction of Villa fans to this news. I admit I feared a meltdown but I've seen a remarkable amount of pragmatism and even optimism 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo82 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Brown Ideye anyone? Apparently we had been watching him in the confeds cup for Nigeria. When i watched him though he didn't seem near the quality of Benteke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I feared a meltdown but I've seen a remarkable amount of pragmatism and even optimism I know i'm suprised at myself tbf i admit that for like 2 mins when i read skysports news this morn i was gutted but then i was like No sod him let him go we'll have a replacement lined up why should we let him ruin all the hard work and optimism that Lambert and the fans have built up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) I must say I'm impressed with the reaction of Villa fans to this news. I admit I feared a meltdown but I've seen a remarkable amount of pragmatism and even optimism This is what I did when i found out: Haha - but seriously i hope we can a player good enough to replace him. Can't really think of anyone as good as him atm so relying on Lambert to pick up a Gem. Edited July 9, 2013 by KjParton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Haven't got more time to add much futher, but here's a handful of names for you, in no particular order.

Spoony Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The only way we'll be able to replace Benteke is if we unearth another gem just like him. Otherwise we need to be looking at joining the race for Cavani, Villa, Gomez and the like. And call me a Negative Nelly, but I can't really see that happening!
