Richard Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I guess I should have qualified my point by saying we are now a feeder club for those we were hoping to compete with, or we were told we were hoping to compete with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 27, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 27, 2013 If he goes in the summer and we make a mighty profit then everyone will have done well out of the deal - what we need to do is get the chairman to understand that it's the quality youngsters that deliver a profit and that the profit should be put back into buying more of the quality youngsters - until the quality youngsters become more important than the profit. If he doesn't go, then good - the boy's a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't go, then good - the boy's a monster. This. If he goes without kicking up a stink and we get £15m - £20m for him I won't complain. But, as you say, it needs to be put straight back into signing more quality young players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think this has all come out because of that fake twitter account saying he out a transfer request in. Don't read into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Wouldn't lose much sleep if he's sold tbh. Blows hot & cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Wouldn't lose much sleep if he's sold tbh. Blows hot & cold.first season in this league I think he's settled really well and really quickly. I think your criticism is an over the top reaction. I hope you are not saying it just as another stick with which to beat the manager. Edited January 27, 2013 by Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The only issue I have with the signing is that a CF was not a priority. The "marquee" signing should have been the DCM we still need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 can you blame him? surrounding by losers like bannan, ireland and bennett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Benteke probably gives the ball away more than Bannan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmytheirishvillain Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 **** sake this is all media nonsense why is the media so down on villa really it has been for years. What's gonna relegate us is all the bull shit surrounding us the players can't get on with the job they have to listen to the papers dogging the, all the time calling them a disgrace and humiliating and all the English media make me **** sick. Who knows weather benteke wants to leave or not if he wants to use us a stepping stone to some where else **** him. If he keeps us up this year then by all means sell the lad he will be a hero in my eyes for keeping they worst team in the league as of this moment up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Most clubs are selling Clubs Spurs being the best at it.Big clubs will come for your best players the trick is to replace them with well scouted replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Wouldn't lose much sleep if he's sold tbh. Blows hot & cold. He's only 22 for god sake! He's not going to become a complete player overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 27, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 27, 2013 Benteke probably gives the ball away more than Bannan. But at least he makes a positive contribution as well unlike Bannan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If we stop up, then get rid of the dross, and build our team around him. As good a striker as i have seen down VP, as good as Yorkie, AGray, Sir Brian.Worth more than £25m in my books. If we go down, he deserves better.

Con Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I'm really glad some of our Villa supporters don't actually have a position on the Villa board... you'd accept £15m for Benteke? you're giving him away for Elephant feed. on the Weimann thread, some would snap your hand off for £8m. AGGGGGGGHHH!! Weimann is worth more than the £20m we paid for Bent and Benteke is worth far more than we paid for Bent. With all the big clubs interested, £30m should be easy if he can continue to impress for the rest of the season.
