P3te Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Doubt he will sign a longer deal, just one on more money. 4-year-deal would mean we get the best price possible next summer if we sell him, which if he does sign would be in the interest of all parties should we promise him his move. Yeah, if it's a 4 year deal there'll be something written into it that'll benefit him in terms of moving next year if he wants to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazilla Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I am not ITK but I have been fed word that if an offer of around £25-£30 were to come in for benteke, he will be sold. I would love to see Benteke stay, but every player has their price and I would have confidence in Lambert spending the money wisely. I remember being gutted when Villa sold Andy Gray to Wolves, but we replaced him with Peter and the rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsworthlion Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 sorry I am not ITK but I have been fed word that if an offer of around £25-£30 were to come in for benteke, he will be sold. I might buy him at that price!!! sorry typo, but we have to understand that this is business and to turn down a £20m profit within 12 months is daft. even if he has a similar impact this season, his price will probably be around the £20m area at the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 12, 2013 I wonder how much influence; if any; the amount of early transfer business we're doing in the window will encourage Benteke to stay if he was unsure of the decision beforehand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent is a word removed apparently. also weimann was never ever leaving and told his agent to stop being a word removed. we made him 1 offer, and weimann accepted.

bannedfromHandV Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Was just about to post this. He's a place ahead of Falcao who's just gone for £50M, I think we should use this as the yardstick for gauging his value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) i think you have to pay and join up to see how the rankings work and its based purely on last season, and i think a lot of players (pretty much everyone at man city for instance) had quiet seasons last year Edited June 12, 2013 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
