Mantis Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Sorry for still being a pessamist guys but after years of supporting villa I'm used to expecting the unexpected. After we hired Mcliesh I believe anything can happen. I for once can't wait until the transfer window closes. No I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. He's here for the next season. If a club was prepared to pay £25m for him then why were there no bids for him when he submitted a transfer request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He's not leaving this summer. Not a chance of it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Just did my own little bit of winding up. Feel that we owe them just a little bit..... Anonymous19 July 2013 20:37 No big deal. Certainly not gonna lose any sleep over this. The guys agent got what he wanted. Can only see Benteke flopping this season. Second season syndrome beckons. We'll see who's laughing at the end of the season. Small little midlands club. Reply Replies Anonymous19 July 2013 20:43 First up I would like to introduce you to the word Tautology. Secondly the end of the season is a very long way away and I am laughing right now. Laughing pretty darn hard too. The only thing you said that rings true is "No big deal". Sounds like a typical Spurs summer....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent interview with Lambert on TalkSport The fact that Lambert doesn't respond properly to the 'will you bring in any more players' question, makes me think that we will. Pretty sure if we weren't after anybody he would outright say it. Think it depends who leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with you if he'd merely retracted his transfer request but he's also signed a new contract. He's staying for the season. Get over it.

samjp26 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 What I'm most happy about now is the fact that every one of our players that we would've been annoyed about losing this Summer, is tied down with a new contract. That means that between now and September, nothing 'bad' can happen. No deadline day swoops, no drawn out transfer saga. It's all done and dusted before August. Thank you Paul Lambert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstonMartin82 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 All the stars aligned and Benteke signed a contract. We could always get him to stay if we played hard ball it was just a case of will we accept the financial risk if we decided too. The facts are he is on a very low wage and we could afford him to sit in the reserves for a year. There is a World Cup coming up in which Belgium have a genuine chance of winning. He has 3 years left on his contract. We would be able to sell him for a decent amount next year even if he doesn't play a single minute this season. It seems to me we simply said, you stay, work hard, go to the World Cup and join a bigger club than Spurs next season or you rot in our reserves and ruin your career along with your World Cup dream. Well done Lerner and co for doing the right thing for Villa. The downside of this is that the only way we will keep him next summer is if we qualify for CL... even if we do that he may not stay.

supernova26 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Yes I think most of us aren't exactly sure how it works but signing a new contract is a statement and this usually means most other clubs will stay away. I think it would be unprecedented for a player to sign a new contract then move in the same window. It's just not the done thing. He could of course leave later down the line I though I think even January would be too early. Henry IIRC signed again for Arsenal then left in the next window...that's the last one I can remember.

Mendi Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 People should understand he will be staying for now but few goals in season he scores and he put him self back on the market. I bet he thought to his self i need to stay here for one more season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm posting my thoughts on a forum. Why have you got to tell me 'to get over it' as if I'm hoping Bentake still leave.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Haha i do remember the David Unsworth saga, anything can happen at Villa but Big Ben is here to bang in the goals next season.

With all due respect mate you also said my post was ridiculous when I said we were gonna be fighting relegation next season.I think the thing here Amo is that Benteke & his agent were aware of who was in for him.Its unlikely that any of the top 4 will gamble on a 22 year old with 1 season in the prem behind him.Now that we've upped his salary & tied him down for another year on top,the asking fee goes up accordingly-If no-one came in at the reported £25mil,they won't come in at £35mil.Chill out & enjoy the summer,CB is going nowhere.

Gabby, Benteke, Weimann, Helenius hmmmmm mouth watering + Tonev + AM (assume once Bent and/or Ireland and/or Given and/or Hutton are gone????) tasty indeed. Still feel a little miffed about the whole transfer request thing, and the fact that we responded by giving him a wage hike. Anyway, should he stay for 2-3 more years and score 20+ goals a season I will forget this as a blip in the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
