BG_Villa_Fan Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 32 mil for Benteke would be a great piece of business. It would allow Sherwood to shape the squad however he liked if allowed to reinvest. Barring a major post takeover cash influx our realistic ambition for next season would be to finish around 8th-12th. We don't need Benteke for that, he's too good for 8th-12th. 32 mil invested in the squad would be better long term. So with Benteke in the squad we just about stay up, but we don't need him to finish 8-12th ??? Is Lambert still in charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The arguments about cashing in whilst we can, or not cashing in cos he will earn us more money than we will lose. Both those arguments don't seem to take into account how much money/luck (probably both) it would take to actually replace him on the field next season. He's a huge part of this team. We have a lot of good players who work well together and he is a vital part of that. No amount of money will cover that. For every Benteke or Bony, there is an Alfonso Alves.

jasoncb Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yes we should build the squad around Benteke and Delph, keep those 2 and we will have a successful era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Not just Delph and Benteke, we have for the first time in a long time a very strong and young spine forming Clark/Okore > Delph/Westwood/Cleverly >Grealish> Benteke. All key players, which kept together and growing together should see us very comfortable and competitive in the future. Benteke will eventually get his move to a top, top team. It would annoy me if he took a nothingy step to Liverpool or Spurs next season though. I'd like to think he can still improve with us for another few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hants-villa72 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Ashley Langford @AshleyLangford8 4m4 minutes ago **** Benteke, he's just a fat Andy Carroll. Go abroad, plenty of cheaper and more mobile/better strikes out there. We need a mobile/lively lololol Fat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Somebody on Twitter might want to alert Benteke to what they think... Just saying like. We have an avenue to these lads now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 There's a great Twitter account called RAWK-meltdown, where they print the ridiculously self-deluded nonsense from Liverpool fans who post rubbish like that on the RAWK forums. It's hilarious. Benteke, fat indeed. Not to sound like a bumder or anything, but I doubt there's a finer physical specimen in the Premier League. He looks like he's chiselled out of granite. Ask the Liverpool defenders from the semi if they think he's fat or lacks mobility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 A lot of them aren't even annoyed about the price tag. They're literally spitting feathers at the thought of signing Benteke. It's absolutely mental. Michael Gregson @grego999 6m6 minutes ago We buy benteke, At all, Never mind for 30 mil, then I want Rodgers gone that very second. Utter shite YNWATV™ @YNWATV 6m6 minutes ago @Sean_Fulton96 Hahaha, true. Benteke or Heskey, both shit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Talk about sour grapes. You'd think that fans of a team who have seen a player rape their defence so consistently over the past couple of years would rate him a little higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I hope that when the standard derisory bid comes in, whoever answers the phone does that thing where you say "hold on I just need to put my hearing aid in" then puts the phone in the drawer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) I don't know whats worse Deluded Liverpool fans thinking they are too good for Benteke or The idea of Benteke actually going to Liverpool in the first place He deserves to be playing for a champions league side he is too good to be gracing the europa league Speaking of Andy Carroll he went for what 35 mill? 32 Mill for Benteke would be a bargain in comparison to that useless sack of shite Edited May 13, 2015 by AshVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfingers Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What a pity that the people who matter don't think like these cretins. I'd love it if every manager of CL sides compared Benteke to Heskey.& Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfcwills10 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 In the Daily Mail about Kane being Man Utds top target..... and them expecting to pay £45m at least for him . I know it's all probably a load of bollox and of course he has the english VAT added onto his price tag. But Benteke is 100% > Kane so how much is he worth then?

VillaChris Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Dybala's moving to Juve for about 25m isn't he? He's a good player but Seria A is a much weaker league nowadays so with Benteke back on form 30m minimum. These Liverpool fans, you'd thought they'd all be bowing down to his feet after having Balotelli there for a season. How much did he cost them again?

VillaChris Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Can Liverpool even afford him btw, obviously they had the mad year of spending under Dalglish and then the Suarez windfall but in all the other seasons FSG have been pretty frugal in the market and all I'm seeing this season is them being linked to Ings and Milner who'll be on frees and even Walcott will have reduced value with one year left on his deal. IMO they'll only have serious money to play with this summer if they sell Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
