The_Steve Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 If no club comes in with a bid, Lambert might convince him to stay. Ultimately, he's got a lot left on his contract. So he could realistically still play a part. Not that many should give him a chance. But, it's a possibility we all must consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryvilla Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Let him on, just like Henry cellers made the BBC we made benteke. Fook him no player is bigger than this club!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This for me is where Lambert and Randy earn their money. £30m is the price. Nothing less. If noone offers it, he doesn't get his move. We don't need to sell and if he does want that WC place he needs to sort himself and put in a decent season for us. If he goes good luck to him.... and thanks for the £££ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2013 So annoying. Hope we sell him to a club abroad. I can see why he wants to move. I'd be half tempted to keep him still. Sell him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Lambert probably has a replacement lined up. Total faith in him. This is how the football world is, sadly. Can't blame Benteke for wanting to further his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakagom Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Oh well This is always going to happen until by some miracle we get massively rich owners. No real surprise though I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Nearly all optimism for next season gone in a flash. Hope we dont roll over on this. £30m or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I don't particularly want him here if his full heart isn't with the club and the ethos we put forward. What sort of example does that show to young fans and players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The leg breaking comment was a flippant expression of anger, wouldnt genuinely wish that on anyone, just to clarify. Will restrict abuse to "what a word removed" here on in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Rather him than me playing hard ball with Lambert. We'll come out of this alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praisedmambo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This would have happened last year too if we had anyone worth selling. It pisses me off. **** him, make him stay or get £35million, no less. **** it £40million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm greatful for his contribution last season but **** me is this a let down. It might be with a new contract negotiation in mind, but I doubt it. As long as we get £25m now it would have to be seen as a good return. Hoping he gets an injury or his career falls apart or whatever reflects badly on the fanbase, please don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I suppose I no longer expect loyalty but one good season and he wants off is just saddening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 How come he was at training on Saturday if he wasn't supposed to be back till July 18? This sums up modern football for me, you can't even keep a star player for even one year now before they start playing up and want to leave up.
