dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) It's surely an absolute fact that the press will have looked at this and thought "we're getting a lot of traffic from Villa fans here after this Delph stuff but now it's dying off, best make something else up to keep them clicking". I'd hardly call that a conspiracy, it's nothing unique to Aston Villa, it's their business model. Edited July 12, 2015 by dont_do_it_doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Anybody heard about the 32.5m clause expiring on the 1st of July hence why Liverpool have now completely backed off because it didn't happen before then? Sounds like BS but great if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like BS but great if true Would make sense for the club to have an expiry date on a clause but would the player agree to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like BS but great if true Not heard about this - could it be real? Why that date? I suppose to prevent it from ruining the teams prep for the season.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Well there was talk somewhere about Villa giving potential suitors of Benteke a window and that if any deal wasn't concluded before the preseason tour then he'd be staying. I hope it is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Unfortunately I think plop are just waiting for the Sterling deal to be wrapped up. Its obvious they cannot pay the 32.5 without selling Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obvious they cannot pay the 32.5 without selling Sterling. Think that deal should be done very soon as City have placed a new bid and are apparently confident. I hope this is the case so we can sort this situation out very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 12, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2015 If Benteke is to go then I really hope United take him before City get Sterling. That would be **** brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 It'd be even greater if he stayed here and scored a hat-trick against both Liverpool and Man Utd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I hate utd and couldn't stand seeing him play for them. The fans are worse than Liverpool, so arrogant and won't give him time. Really hope he doesn't go there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I personally think we should sell Benteke if we get an offer of £32.5m. Having that injection of cash gives us the opportunity to improve our squad. Liverpool and Spurs didn't take their opportunity when trying to re-invest Suarez and Bale cash. We have to be far more savvy but I think there is a good chance of us being better off with say 3x £10m players and no Benteke vs just having Benteke. If United are in we could try some swaps. Jonny Evans and Hernandez would improve us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2015 The media showed what they know about Delph moving. Hopefully the're as equally wrong about Benteke, I wouldn't be surprised. He was obviously moving.... Unfortunately I think plop are just waiting for the Sterling deal to be wrapped up. Its obvious they cannot pay the 32.5 without selling Sterling. Aye, can't help but feel as soon as Liverpool sell Sterling they will bid for Benteke. I think Man United is a much better fit for Benteke. I'd actually have a bet on him being top goalscorer if we went there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Not too fussed where he goes if i'm honest. Just pay the clause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I wouldn't rule out Man City coming in for Benteke either. If they sell Dzeko it leaves them with Aguero, Bony, Jovetic and Pozo to play probably around 60 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
