Mantis Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 He can't afford to not be putting the performances in, so I have absolutely no problem with him staying another season. We may get a lot of money for him but you can be almost certain that his replacement won't be as good. Sometimes it's easy to forget just what a player he is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 situation where he wants better but no one is willing to offer the sum we want/stated looking like hes got a choice.run his contract down n leave for less next summer ( because we couldnt ask for the clause amount with a year left as risk of losing him for nothing ) or sign a contract renewal Keep him, I say. If he is as good as he and we think he is (but clearly no one else does) then what he can do for us as a club in those two seasons would outweigh anything we would get for him.

PaulC Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Vietto has just signed for Atletico and they are set to sign the Porto striker so can't see them being interested in Benteke. Not at 32.5 mil anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I do not think anyone will meet the buy out clause, and I do not think we will let him go for less. I also do not think he will play silly buggers with us after what he did at Genk with the Euros coming up. And if he has a good season our chances of someone meeting the buyout clause end of next season will be improved. Win, win, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 if spurs offered anywhere between 20m- 25m and dembele i would take that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It's getting to the point where I'd be happy if we got £25m for him. He's good, but not as good as him and his agent seem to think he is. It's funny, but I don't think we've ever had a concrete bid made for him. I know that he scores some important goals for us, but when he is shite he is really shite, and now is the time to sell IMO if it is indeed true that he is refusing to sign a new deal. I just hope that if he pulls any 'Strike' nonsense like he has done before, that we let him rot in the u21's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its times to sell as well, we need to start rebuilding and if he wants to go let him go. We had legends leave before and we still standing.

Ian_Taylor Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Mandzukic gone to juventus 13.7m cmon athletico put a bid in for tekkers i dare ya Or don't ! Why he dont wanna stay he would not face us neither wed get a big bucket of money and can draw a line under the matter. I personally dont want him to stay if he dosnt want to be here. The money will come in handy and we can go forward. Aslong as villa have benteke in side we cant go forward because he dosnt want to stay. Yes, we'd all love players who 'want to play for the club' but the reality is that rarely exists. Benteke will play as well for us if he stays, as he would any other club as he is a professional athlete and that is his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Taylor Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It's getting to the point where I'd be happy if we got £25m for him. Why? There's two simple scenarios to this... a) a club offers 32.5m and presumably is a 'larger' club then us who will offer more wages and he will accept. no club offers to buy out his clause so he remains a Villa player for the next 6 months either on his current deal or a new one. Either way we don't need to be offering cut price deals to get rid of him. He wanted to leave two years ago and that didn't hamper his run of goals at the end of this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 dont want any player + cash deal from spurs it'll be the likes of carroll, paulinho, capoue or some other offcast plus then "£20m" which levy wrangles to being £10m upfront, then a bit more next year, bit more if they get CL, bit more if he scores x number of goals etc got us getting shafted written all over it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Shame, I was rather looking forward to what improvements could be made to the team with 32m...but its probably overpriced anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Surely no one thinks he'll sign a new deal?Personally as long as he dosen't threaten to go on strike or anything stupid I'd keep him for one more season.If he stays fit he scores 20 goals no problem particularly how we've been attacking under Sherwood. That and hopefully 3-4 goals in the euros and I fully expect we'd still be getting 20m + bids next season. After all we got 18m for Young when he only had 1 year left didn't he?I just want next season to be as comfortable as possible e.g. NO relegation battle so Benteke staying greatly enhances that scenario. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Townsend + 20/25 mil would be ok. For who? Spurs? It wouldn't be ok in my book. No player swap for me, full money deal only. After that Ireland deal I'd rather not see us risk anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
