smetrov Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Bit doubtful on this one happening now - much over £6m is to much of a risk for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 What is that Hazard comparison by his agent all about? (apologies if this has been explained but VT is very slow and trawling through 14 pages for an answer is not appealing) Just saying the club were pricing him like he's Hazard, and that it's unrealistic. No more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Guardian are reporting that Gent are asking villa to double the £5.5m offer - if they are being serious this ones dead in the water - can't see us going much higher than £6.5 - £7m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It's a bit shit being a poacher when you'r 6'3. That was Crouch's problem when he was at Villa, massive but refused to get into physical battles. He'll need put himself about in the PL at his size.

bose Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I think that given how public our offer has been this deal is pretty much done (based on other deals we've done this summer). Does anyone remember a rejected bid we've made for a player this summer who did not then join us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. and I know that Randy isn't flavor of the month at the moment - but most time we've got our man. However trawling around the web the balance of the chatter is that this one is slipping away from us. really hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelboyVilla Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Poacher type apparently. the new Amos Brearley? Surely you mean Seth Armstrong or more recently Zack Dingle?? Amos ran the pub with Mr Wilks and was far too upstanding citizen to be involved in illegal activities?? :oops: Anyway I am with the school of thought that so far this season we have always got our man when the deal is this public.

briggaman Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Guardian are reporting that Gent are asking villa to double the £5.5m offer - if they are being serious this ones dead in the water - can't see us going much higher than £6.5 - £7m If they want more than that then we should just walk away. Fingers crossed that we get him for under £7 million and hopefully he will end up being worth more than what we pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yep Belgian Press are saying they want 15million Euros! However Benteke is very pissed off and wants to leave, he will not train today as he's 'ill'! I think it'll take a bit of negotiation to get this one done! But player will force it!

SikhInTrinity Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 That's the negotiation JV! Pretty sure it'll get done, even in the report the press question how Genk can keep someone who is unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
