AshVilla Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I doubt they are going to sell sterling for less than 50 mill Just like we wont sell Benteke for anything less than 32.5 Still a chance he will stay unless citeh go crazy and go up to 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan81 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Tevez back to Boca with potentially Mandzuzic taking his place..would athleti get the beast in as replacement? if someone was gonna bid id prefer it to be a club outside the prem so we wouldnt have to play against him as much as hes helped us n kept us up id find it hard not to hate him if he joined a club not in the chapions league ( Pathetic i know ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakid007 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I hope city walk away from sterling deal. I can't think of anyone we could get to replace benteke. Got a feeling he will stay to cement his place for the euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Rumour is Man city will not be increasing the 40 million bid for Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 better than giroud He just really isnt for a side like Arsenal. For a villa side he is. But not for arsenal/most top 4 i think he is, giroud is nothing special IMO certainly not going to get them the goals to win them the league or influence games in the same way that the likes of costa / rooney / aguero can and either way arsenal expect way too much from him, they signed welbeck but he's rarely played up top, so giroud's back up is sanogo or campbell benteke actually has a better scoring ratio than giroud despite the injuries and playing in a much weaker team I agree. Benteke's passing at times is brilliant and I reckon he could be moulded into an Arsenal style player. Imagine Benteke with that team around him jesssssus christ.

Got a feeling he will stay to cement his place for the euros There's plenty out there you just may not be aware of them. Who's got the time to watch 5/6 different leagues' games across Europe really?

tomh621 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 In Bonys defense, its kinda hard to score goals when you are a £30million benchwarmer. Bony is more proven than Lukaku imo. He has done the business in 3 different leagues and internationally. Lukaku has just regressed. yes but theres a reason why hes a £30mil benchwarmer...because he just isnt good enough for city/top4. The most bizarre 30mil that city have spent No he's just not good enough to replace Aguero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt good enough for city/top4 because they tend to have pretty elite strikers (or strikers who are good at linking up) which is making him a very expensive 30m benchwarmer and really isnt an upgrade to dzeko. He looked so out of place when he played for them Costa > bony Ageuro > bony Giroud >bony Rooney > bony not good enough for top4 starting 11 Edited June 19, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'd still give Bony the benefit of the doubt. January signings are hard to judge, especially if they miss the first month or so of the time at their new club due to international commitments. He definitely needs to hit the ground running this season, City struggled for goals (by their standards at least) last season, they had four players over 20 goals the year they won the league (Aguero, Dzeko, Toure, Negredo) and last season it was only Aguero who seemingly pulled his weight. Bony can score 20 goals in that side assuming he gets 40+ appearances in all competitions. City will expect to play 50-55 games next year so there is no reason why Bony shouldn't get a run in the side at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Arsenal is the team for Benteke all day long. Im sure Wenger knows it. Weather he feels they need him is another question, To me it would be a outstanding buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather he feels they need him is another question, To me it would be a outstanding buy. Said it before, but he's just not mobile enough for Arsenal. He'd be better suited to play in a team with a distinct focal point like Chelsea/Man Utd - although can't see either of them being in for him.
