It would be risky bordering on madness. Playing for a guy that had Harry Kane taking corrners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could probably take a chance on 2 or 3 players for what Benteke would cost. I think that is fairly unrealistic to think you could sign two or three players with their fees and wages for the wages of one player on a Bosman personally.

TheStagMan Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Jesus, all this support for bringing Benteke back. Probably as one of our highest paid players. On a free or not, it's bad business. Have we (as fans) learned nothing from the last 10 years of mismanagement at this club? Thankfully it looks as though Nas and Wes have more about them than that, so hopefully the idea will not even be entertained. I repeat my statement, if he had never played for Villa, and we looked at his stats and performances over the last few years, and then looked at his salary, none of us would even entertain the idea of signing him. As you can probably tell, I am adamantly against the idea. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted February 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2021 No thanks. Wish we went for Toney as our backup striker, £10m and you just knew what he was going to do at Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto_Villan Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Been on a bit of a scoring streak recently has old Christian. I'd still love to see him rejoin on a one or two year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Oh no, he actually wants to go to Inter Milan.

Genie Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 It’s almost as if his contract is almost up. It’s pretty shitty that he’s stopped being a useless lump because he wants another payday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy has spent the last 2 seasons winning headers and standing still but suddenly he's good again. If anything it should be a warning sign for teams looking at him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I take the points above, but it's also true that he's always been a bit streaky, he regularly had purple patches and barren spells with us too. Do I think it's *mainly* about his contract situation? Yes, probably, it would be weird if that wasn't a major source of motivation. But it doesn't have to be entirely nefarious, he's a confidence player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
