ArteSuave Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I wish the clubs would stop announcing their dealings with us.It's in their interest though. Get a bidding war going. I know that but it seems a bit small time. Do we do that when one of our players get approached? Would it be possible for us to negotiate a NDA before putting in further offers?

dudevillaisnice Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Is he backup or a replacement for Benteke? If he is backup great, if he is a replacement.. hmm, well i'll see how it pans out. That said if we was to lose Benteke we should get a massive fee out of it and if we are looking at players like this and Okore etc I've seen enough to suggest Lambert is smart enough to replace players.

packoman Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) AAlBoRG: Nicklas Helenius' days in AaB seem numbered. AaB dealer for the Premier League club Aston Villa on a sale. Director Lynge Jakobsen is Tuesday traveled to England to try to negotiate the final details in place.Link Someone on AaB forums: Well, now that word is out, so can I speak out what I know. I know that Heartland received an offer last Friday on Helenius of 7.5 million. from just Aston Villa, but it was rejected. We must therefore have received a somewhat higher bid now, since the negotiation is in its crucial face. What bid is this time, I know I did not.

villa-revolution Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 It must be really hard for the ITK's given what very little info comes out of VP as we always play our cards close to our chest that there really can't be much definite for them to go on. As always it is the potential selling club that sings like a canary & blab as if they are trying to outdo motor mouth Dave Whelan. Well done Sikhintrinity for homing in on this latest potential transfer target. Let's hope it comes to fruition & that we keep Benteke as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 And if that is the case I'm gonna guess the bid was somewhere between £1-1.5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I think Wes mentioned him earlier and he sounds great. Is that their official site? Edit: Dodgy music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RYJHjYqLQU Yeah I did. Here is my post from the 23rd of May: I mentioned Cornelius earlier today as someone who I think could play Benteke's role rather well. I'm kicking myself now for forgetting to mention this other Dane (in fact there's 3 or 4 stupidly tall strikers playing in the Danish Superliga right now), Nicklas Helenius of Aalborg. 22 years old. 6'5". He flashes good composure and placement with his finishing and for someone his size seems comfortable dribbling the ball at people. Some stats: 12/13 - 16 goals and 7 assists in 33 games 11/12 - 14 goals and 8 assists in 32 games 10/11 - 5 goals and 4 assists in 29 games (17 as sub) OYV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RT-L6UsP2c Cornelius is the more talented of the two but this guy deserves to get some notice too. He has said in the past he would consider a move to England but would prefer a move to the Bundesliga or Eredivise, "unless a Premier League team showed genuine interest in helping him develop as a footballer." I think that sounds a lot like something we would strive to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArteSuave Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 7.5m Danish Krone (the bid that was allegedly rejected) equates to about £850k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god its Krone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) So we're being linked to 3 Danes (Okore, Helenius and Cornelius) and 2 Bulgarians in Tonev and Popov. Strategy or coincidence? I like the idea of signing players in "blocks" like Inter & Milan did with the germans and the dutch back in the day as it in theory helps to settle at the club Edited June 11, 2013 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
