Dodgyknees Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 £35m sale and £25-30m goes back into the team, I can accept a sale. But if £15m goes back into the team, there is no point, we will not progress as that money will cover a replacement, where-as if we got 90% of the money we could replace Benteke and add another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted July 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2013 The press are looking at our first few fixtures and seeing us and CB panicked into selling him, their world will implode if we get anything out of those 3 games. CB is staying unless the money is 35m+ and the club in for him is a CL regular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 10M already has. And these are replacing those who either have gone, or will go. (Marshall, Dunne, Warnock, Hutton, Bannan, Bent) If Benteke goes, the money should be used to improve the team.

daggy_333 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 benteke will leave. demanding to do so and has told the club that. has been since end of last season. his agent has also been trying to flog him around every club who could afford to pay 20mil for him. he will leave if that sort of bid comes in. he was, from what i'm told, offered to become the highst paid player but he wasn't interested. remains to be seen how much of the money banked from his sale goes on a replacement but don't think it will be 20mil into the bank and 20mil straight out. 30 January 2013 - 11:03 PM Ok I'm now officially declaring myself as not ITK. I'm a dud. A fraudster. He will sign But I do think he will definately be the other one. I'm now no longer going to post because I have been "proven wrong"!!!! Good luck and UTV Do excuse me if i take what you say with a pinch of salt after what you said in January... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Christian Benteke tonight rocked Aston Villa by slapping in a transfer request. Boss Paul Lambert and his squad flew out to Germany this week for their pre-season tour, but the Tottenham and Chelsea target was absent. Now it has emerged that the £25million-rated Belgian has demanded to leave just one season after arriving from Genk for £8million. Lambert had hoped to tie the powerful 6ft 3in striker to a new contract and double his £20,000-a-week salary. Hopes dashed: Lambert was keen on keeping the strikerNeville Williams With the World Cup next summer, Benteke, 22, is anxious to get first-team football with a top club. Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas seems best placed to offer him such a chance.

HalfTimePost Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Oh well, £30m and we reinvest. Bit dissappointed in him but we all knew this could happen and after his history with Genk I guess most of us knew it would come to this at some point. If I'm honest, I didn't expect it this summer, probably next, but oh well. Sell him and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) From my most favourite footballer to my least favourite footballer in an instant. Wow. A team must be in for him, for him to hand a request in. Thanks for the year long stay and the £25m. Edited July 8, 2013 by samjp26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Mat Kendrick @MatKendrick Benteke has not traveled to Germany and Villa have told him they will sell him if they receive an offer that meets their valuation #avfc So club have already said that they will sell (if valuation is met). So Whats our valuation? £30m? £25m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 So, he's gone. He will forgo a tidy sum by handing in a transfer request, which suggests he is seriously pissed off or has been tapped up and has already agreed a contract elsewhere. We need to state our price and get it sorted quickly. It looks like Bony is done for Swansea, and I expect PL has his alternatives ready, so we must act fast. Onwards and upwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
