OutByEaster? Posted June 29, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'd take Lambert, but not if it involved sending Benteke the other way. Benteke, I very much doubt Lambert enjoys sitting on the bench and will probably want to potentially get his England career back on track before the Euros. He'll be 34 by the time the Euros happen, he's more likely to retire next summer than make the England squad. As a potential makeweight in a deal for Benteke, I don't think he carries much value at all. I still think if we got him for say 1-2 million, he'd be a decent pick up. Look what Luca Toni is doing in Italy at his age. 33 is not that old. His contract is up in 12 months, I'd consider picking him up for nothing in January for a season, but in terms of adding to a Benteke deal, Liverpool don't want to pay £32.5m and seem to think an offer of just over £20m plus Lambert ought to do it. I'd say an offer of just over £30m and Lambert would more accurately reflect his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted June 29, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2015 32m or borini and Lambert plus 40m, if Liverpool did cough up and benteke fancied the risk of joining a fading giant then I think they would finish tip 4. Coming back down to earth Christian will be with us for another season IMO, he will score 30 plus and end up leaving next summer for 40m plus after Belgium win the Europeans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Earl the Pearl Posted June 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2015 These articles that I've been seeing lately really do make me question how our club is perceived nowadays. "Spurs to pip Benteke by offering Adebyor in a swap deal." "Liverpool to win Benteke race by offering Borini and Lambert in exchange." Are we really perceived as that poor of a club that we would accept complete garbage for our best player? I'd love to find the people who wrote these articles and punch them right in the mouth. I don't see any articles saying, "Villa to win race for Charlie Austin by offering N'zogbia in swap deal." Same logic as far as I can see. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I wish Liverplop would just F***** off. Benteke is to good for them scouse whingers. Either 33 mil or Feck right off. Lambert or Borini, ha, we can take them, but it'll mean £40 million for Benteke. Tossers!!!! They are acting as though we are desperate, maybe we are, who knows, but we should never bow down to such a poor football family............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Read somewhere that Borini's on between 80-100k a week at Liverpool!!! I imagine Lambert was very well paid at Southampton so got a good contract for himself at Liverpool. We've spent the last 4 years rooting out our squad of players of low production on massive wages so I don't see the logic. Much rather look French, German and Dutch league for new attacking players where wages are a lot lower. Again dunno how accurate but read Vidal is "only" on 60k a week at Juve which shows how laughable some of the premier league wage demands really are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan81 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Dembele and Townsend would improve us and should be money there for say Austin If buy selling Benteke we got Dembele Townsend and Austin id be happy with that Dembele replacing cleverly and Townsend replacin Weimann isnt bad business .prefer Austin to Benteke but he will get us goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkiller1981 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I hope a don't make a fool of myself with this but adebayor for benteke is an absolute lol. Not a term I use lightly but that's what that offer did to me. However if we accepted that deal I would be handing my villa membership back. I under no circumstances will support a villa team with adebayor on it especially as that deal is a way of Spurs getting rid of there shit. Also perhaps if benteke is interested in Spurs then he isn't as good as he thinks he is. Spurs in my opinion are crap and if not based in London would be relegation strugglers every year. Come on Christian you're far to good for spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Lets hope the club learned from the Milner to Man City deal that taking the buying clubs unwanted players in p/x for your best player does not work out. If Sherwood agrees to take Adebayor and lets Benteke go to Spurs he will be helping them twice over. It's like we are a **** charity. This is the sort of crap that Tom Fox should be getting involved with. We must not be bullied by that prick Levy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Adebayor is 32 soon. Wages would comfortably make him the highest paid here and that's without taking into account the length of contract he would demand. Awful deal, a truly awful deal. It's probably paper talk but it's something I can see Levy doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be the worst bit of business since chelsea paid all that money for torres, or liverpool paying for carrol. Only way this was good, was if spurs chucked in an extra 5million to take him off their hands...such as the total price for benteke was 37.5million + adebeyor.

dakid007 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Cannot see tim bringing in a player like adebayour a player he knows head can be funny at any moment.
