Christian Benteke

[Con]

when Benteke signs the new contract, perhaps there will be a buy-out clause, because the player wants control over his future.

 

one more year with us, 20 goals, and he will have to play European football to further his career. it will be good for us to sell him at that stage too, to re-invest in the team.

 

how much buy-out clause? I'd guess 30 million, although we could get more than that with a bidding war. I'd prefer if we had £40 million buy-out clause but I don't think the agent or player would accept that.

[StanBalaban]

I'm actually quite confident that Lambert will be backed by Lerner as much as Lambert requires. Lambert has openly stated many a time that he's looking for young, hungry talent.

Players like Lowton, Westwood and obviously Benteke have quadrupled in value, whilst we'd probably get back the money we've paid for KEA, Vlaar and Bowery if we were to sell them. This is worlds part from the Sidwell's, Reo Coker's, Harewood's and Heskey's of this world.

From a purely business perspective, it makes sense for Lerner to back Lambert as his purchases will make us more successful as a club or, in at the very least, make RL more money if the players were to be sold.

I honestly believe the last 3 seasons of turmoil and the big clear out have happened good 2 year ahead of the likes of Stoke, Sunderland, Fulham and soon to be Newcastle in my opinion.

Benteke @ Twiitter, "Amazing that a frenchspeaking journalist understands what I really said. I guess that the dutchspeaking journalist need some french lessons."

 

Mmmmmmmmmm

What you think Westwood and Lowton are worth about 10/12m????

Given their age and potential I don't see what's wrong with that valuation.

Lowton and Westwood cost £1m each, maybe less than that, I would 100% put their value at £5m+ so I'd say more than quadrupled myself.

Why does this post not surprise me? You've been bashing Westwood all season so another excuse to have a pop is handed to you on a plate! Sometimes it's too easy.

Lowton was 3m and Westwood 2.2m. And FWIW, we would not get 28m for Benteke either imo.

Lambert himself has recently stated that the prices paid for Westwood and Lowton were not as quoted in the press, but nearer £1m each.

Add Sylla to the list too as he's rocketed in value and it's a no brainer for Lerner to back his manager.

What's your beef with Westwood anyway?

[Tayls]

Anyone think Monaco will have a little go at trying to take Benteke?

[StefanAVFC]

For £40m please

[AVFCforever1991]

Hopefully... £40-50m

[Phumfeinz]

What

[samjp26]

This is drifting way off-topic but just for backing up, Lambert on Westwood:

 

"We bought him for under a million pounds. I'd like to know his value now, what that would be."

 

http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~3181442,00.html

 

Will look for the one where he says Lowton was I think less than Westwood, or similar priced, or bang on £1m. Can't remember which one it was.
