Popular Post TRO Posted June 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2015 Let's get the deal done for the right money and set about the business of building a proper football team. I'm not interested in individual football players......I just want my villa team back. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Anyway if the clause is £32M then my suggestion works better than accepting £20M plus a few players that they don't want. Your suggestion isn't better. It's totally idiotic and I'm assuming you must be trolling surely?! Why on earth would Tottenham pay £32 million meet the buyout clause then give us £12 million plus worth of players for FREE! Yep your idea sounds totally plausible lolz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Dembélé and Townsend are good players but I'd want them plus the full £32M. Why would spurs do that when the 32.5m would activate the release clause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clause is supposedly £32M my suggestion is that Tottenham meet that, the other suggestion is that we accept £20M. Nothing totally idiotic about, I'd say it's just a simple and profound point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 My '£20m + Dembele + Townsend' suggestion was a bit tongue-in-cheek. I'd definitely go for that deal, but there's no chance that Spurs would. It's likely that they'll rate those two players as £15m players (in their warped, overpriced Spurs way), so I'd imagine the best we could hope for from them would be money plus one of those pair in a swap deal.

If Tottenham want to fob us of with players that they don't want then so be it, but they still have to meet the release clause. If they meet the release clause without offering the players then fair enough. All I'm saying is that I'd want £32M from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Liverpoo -Champions league now thats funny, like us, living in the past. I don't get this tbh. We go on about how good benteke is and how he's worth so much money, yet people rubbish the idea that he'd possibly go a long way towards turning the 6th placed team into top 4 contenders? If he's not capable of that then he's not worth the money we're saying he is. And if he is capable of that, then there's no reason why he shouldn't join Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) And just to add I think we should be doing our best to avoid selling him to Tottenham anyway. They really should be a team we're looking to catch up with, not helping to strengthen by giving them our best player.

If they meet the release clause without offering the players then fair enough. All I'm saying is that I'd want £32M from them. If Townsend and dembele are 2 players Tim wants, then getting them for essentially 12m is surely very good business given that a cash deal for either of them alone wouldn't be much less? Obviously if he DOESN'T want them then it'd not be worthwhile, but we're talking about potentially saving around 10m (hypothetically) with the deal the poster mentioned. For a club that doesn't have a huge amount to spend, I don't see how it wouldn't be a great deal for us. Not that spurs would offer it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really should be a team we're looking to catch up with, not helping to strengthen by giving them our best player. At this moment in time we miles away from spurs and therefore selling to them won't really affect anything. We have been relegation fodder for yrs now, to start off with we need to catch the mid table teams before we worry about catching spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really should be a team we're looking to catch up with, not helping to strengthen by giving them our best player. Spurs are 2-3 seasons absolute minimum ahead of us. By the time we'd even get close benteke would've packed his bags and gone elsewhere, technically weakening them by the time we're knocking on the door around them (best case scenario) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Depends on their attitude I guess. Could be another Stephen Ireland scenario when the heart just isn't in it and performances are mediocre. Think it's a big risk personally. I'd rather keep him but as it's looking unlikely I would take the full £32m instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd really be all down to Sherwood actually wanting those players, and there's nothing to suggest he does, or that spurs would make such an offer, or that spurs are even interested in benteke. It's all just idle speculation really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXD Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Benteke just got subbed after a very mediocre performance for belgium. No clubs will be coming for him if he plays like this. I'm starting to think he seems such a good player because the others at villa are so average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think he seems such a good player because the others at villa are so average. That doesn't really explain why he's got a goal every other game over 100 matches though. You don't manage that kind of record because your teammates are rubbish, you manage it in spite of your teammates being rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 If we can get 32mill we should sell....but I don,t think we will and I don't think we will get an offer to lure him from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Suarez they came close to winning the title so with Benteke they should come close to top 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I expect one of the tabloids will pass off suggestions of swapping tekkers for dembele, Townsend and £20m as a 'close source' over the next few days. Journos obviously read fans forums and plagiarise fan speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
