BG_Villa_Fan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'd just like to thank the Media for doing it's utmost best in disrupting our side in the run up to today's cup final Trying to sell the few good players we have from underneath us in the run up to the game worked a treat Can't wait to hear the amount of clubs that will now bid for Benteke now the final has run its course If you want him pay the release clause otherwise don't waste our time Our manager didn't really help on that matter, did he?

P3te Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 $75k a week? We should be offering him $150. Bent got that and Bent was shit. bent wasn't even on 75k was he? Austin doesn't have benteke's all round game and his finishing isn't as good as benteke's but it is good, i don't think he's an adequate replacement in my opinion I don't think we will, or even should, be looking for a like-for-like replacement to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Offered a new deal apparently. Can't see him staying myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeps Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Offered a new deal apparently. Can't see him staying myself. Sauce? Just in a few papers he will be offered £80k pw His agent was just on SSN. He wants to play in Europe either competition and wants to stay in England. He's off and it's going to be Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I wonder if Europa league will actually make any difference to him? It's such a second rate competition.

Nabby Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Going to Liverpool to play in Europe ...I suggest he looks at their performances and results last season they were useless in both Champs league and Europa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 His agent is in a win-win situation here. No matter what this Summer he is going to get a fee for his services whether it be for a new contract here or elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 THIS season alone has not warranted a move to Chelsea, Man City or Arsenal. Let's remember, as many good games he had he also had the bad ones. And some were reeeeeally bad. At one point, he was even benched! Christian, stay with us one more season, keep your form up and earn a move to atletico/borussia/real madrid. Pretty please? In the meantime, I am sure the club will be happy to pay you twice as much as you get now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hopefully he'll remember how we stuck by him through his injury and he will show a little bit of loyalty to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 He's scored 1 in 2 in a really shit team for the most part, playing negative football, where he had quite a big injury to recover from too. 5oish goals in 100ish game is an outstanding return. Easily good enough for the top sides IMO. Put Costa, Aguero, etc in this side and they would struggle to hit that mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benireduk Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) If we get the reported £30m+ I'd let him go. We could get 3/4 quality players with the money and be a better team as a result. Currently, if Benteke isn't on form, we offer little or no threat as we saw on Saturday Edited June 1, 2015 by benireduk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 My only worry is who these quality players would be to replace him. Get it wrong and we are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a wonderful player and he fits our system but we won't get a like-for-like replacement, no chance Specifically for the reason you've just given, we won't be able to find a like for like, so we're better off finding someone who can be useful in a different way Hopefully he'll remember how we stuck by him through his injury and he will show a little bit of loyalty to us. We were hardly going to release him now were we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would struggle Liverpool would be a stepping stone for Benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If for arguments sake he goes for 30 mil, how much do you actually think will be reinvested? With Randy looking to sell would he not just pocket a lot of that money? I would rather he stayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
