Popular Post Wainy316 Posted July 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2013 Benteke will be here after the deadlines over, but there is a small chance he could still leave. The worlds best defender in Thiago Silva signed a new contract at Milan and then left about 5 days later, and he's the worlds best defender at one of the top clubs in the world.. never say never! That being said, I don't think there is a big enough demand for Benteke for that to happen. If he goes on and beats last seasons goals tally, then we'll be in the driving seat for more dosh and we'll probably more likely to be in a position to pull in better talents to replace him with. Thiago silva isn't the world best defender Vincent Kompany is the best Speaking of the "best" defenders, I'd like to introduce you to your new hero. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Benteke withdrew his request because clubs saw it as a gamble paying 25 million for a player with one good season. The premier league is littered with players who looked fantastic for a season, I think as Villa fans we feel we know Benteke is different and it's only a mater of time when he plays on the biggest stage, but he won't be going this summer as if teams wouldn't want to pay 25 million, they aren't going to want to pay more than that.

hanxamillion Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Well her's my two penneth ! I am 90 % sure he's staying and all the signs on our side of the fence are now very good. However IF Spurs sell Bale to RM they could come back with 40 mill. and I THINK that could tempt Lerner to sell. OR If Arsenal fail to land Suarez and have got used to the idea of spending 40 mill they could turn there attentions to Benteke. (especially if he gets a hat trick at the emirates). Just saying like, Roll on September 2nd - or whenever the deadline actually is. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) I can't believe people are even thinking hypothetically about Benteke leaving this summer! It's not going to happen! Stop talking about it! You're ruining transfer window time for me! Edited July 29, 2013 by Tayls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I think you read his response wrong Morpheus. He's quoting you saying 'just didn't meet'. He's not saying that your words didn't meet. ^ Also Morpheus, you stated yourself that you were concerned. After examining the probabilities, it doesn't take a crystal ball to conclude your concern is unnecessary and excessive. Yep i was reading your post wrongly so my apologies concerning 'just didn't meet.' I will ask you again where have i stated in my post that i was excessively concerned. I mean its a simple question or is it that your conclusion is just based on assumption and therefore putting words in posters mouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the answer for BG - he would say "who cares! Because he has signed a new contract and there is no point in thinking about it until next year" Am I right Belgian Guy?

I will ask you again where have i stated in my post that i was excessively concerned. I mean its a simple question or is it that your conclusion is just based on assumption and therefore putting words in posters mouths. Apology accepted. You stated you were concerned. I examined the probabilities of the scenarios you listed as your concern. Scenarios which are possible but very unlikely. I equated it to being concerned about dying when driving; something possible but unlikely enough to deem talking about death whilst driving as excessively concerned. When making my analogy I did so hoping that you drive, knew of the possibilities of dying whilst driving but didn't think of a need to state your concern about it. You expressed your concern, I and some others questioned the validity of it. As you expressed your concern on an open forum I thought you would be open to discussion on it. I don't know if you enjoy your level of concern (excessive, unnecessary, call it what you want), but don't see what purpose it serves. I do appreciate your right to be as concerned as you want to be about Benteke leaving in the next few weeks, but don't be surprised if it's validity is questioned on an open forum.

hanxamillion Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 What's set off this new talk of Benteke leaving? Well simply put the transfer window is not yet closed and there will be some teams selling players that they don't want to ( eg rooney bale suarez maybe ) and the proceeds would finance knock on purchases which affect what could happen to our highly rated striker.

Morpheus Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The letter i is most prevalent in your post brommy which is assumption and nothing else. You seem to be fixated with levels of concern rather than the actual point of my concern which is that there is still a possibility that Benteke may leave our club if the right offer should materialise before the window shuts. To not be at least open to that possibility which is the purpose of my concern when you consider Benteke's attitude when leaving Genk, when mentioning Arsenal at the start of his tenure here and then putting a transfer request in after just one season while there may also be other clubs with money coming in with late bids is very naive. Your other comments about being open to discussion on a forum is exactly what we are presently doing, debating the point and again where have i said in my posts that i was excessively concerned?

villa-revolution Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Morpheus's concerns are not unreasonable. Nothing can be ruled out 100% until mid night 2nd September 2013. I remain open minded to all possibilities! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
