rubberman Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 If he goes to Utd he'll score a hat-trick against us as they batter us 5-0. At Liverpool he'll fail to score as they never cross and we beat them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 have they bid yet? They are 'set to' which apparently trumps actually doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Get him sold. Trouser the cash. Buy his replacement. Build the squad and FFS lets get on with it. A good footballer who didn't REALLY want to join us in the first place and was very open about us being a stepping stone to bigger and better things. He did his job - earned his moved and thats all we could have expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PieFacE Posted July 16, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2015 I really couldn't give a shit about him to be honest once he's gone. Whether he plays for Man United, Liverpool or Birmingham City its completely irrelevant. The fact is he doesn't want to be here. If we can keep him then great, but I've got no love for Benteke. Football heroes are hard to come by on the modern game, Benteke is definitely not one of them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The bid is in, and expect CB to be a Liverpool player I'd say at the latest next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 He is off to plop now, good. I will take them beating us home and away with a benteke hat trick, if it means we don't muck about with relegation this year. Has he gone then - where did you see this?

Chewie Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've tried to catch up on this thread, but it's going at a bit of a fast pace so not sure this has been posted before... A user on the Liverpool subreddit made a fantastic post by breaking down the qualities that Benteke has and basically why Liverscum fans are crazy to think he is too sh*t for their team. Let's settle a few things first: Benteke has made 101 appearances in 3 seasons, scoring 49 goals. That's a ratio of 0.485, or just about 1 goal every 2 games. That's **** fantastic for a team as devoid of creativity and guile as Lambert's Villa were. We have no flair players or playmakers. Benteke is not injury prone. He sustained a hip flexor injury during the first half of the 13/14 season and an achilles injury from a bad tackle in training just before the World Cup. He struggled to build momentum during that season. Other than that, he has remained injury-free. Guzan, Vlaar and Delph certainly played their parts, but Benteke was the driving force behind Villa for 3 straight years. In a team of dross and low quality imports, Benteke elevated us to the status of competitors at least. His agent, Eris Kismet, is pulling the strings. He and Benteke forced the move from Genk to Villa in 2012 and tried to force a transfer to Spurs in summer 2013. Ultimately he agreed to stay, got a big pay rise and all was forgiven but Kismet, as agents do, is always looking for the next big move. You guys know what I'm talking about, considering recent events with Sterling. Under Lambert, Villa flirted with progressively less exciting playstyles as time went on. At first we were a counter-attacking team. Then we persevered with a rugged long-ball game which limited Benteke. Finally, we settled on a possession-based style with no end product which rendered Benteke useless. Lambert was sacked, Sherwood arrived and Benteke thrived once again. He goes into much more depth, and whilst perhaps not as interesting as the wild speculation on here, I thought it was worth posting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Might be in a red shirt but his undercrackers will be claret and blue. Or an analogy to that effect. 50/50.... I think his underwear will be Arsenal, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted July 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2015 Whether he stays or goes (to the scousers or the mancs), I've been fairly pleased with how villa have conducted themselves so far. Stating that they would like to keep him but if he is to go, it's will only happen for certain price (and a good, fair price I think, ignoring the daft sterling transfer). It's allowed us to do business on our terms and prevented us to be "bullied" into a quick, cheaper sale by the bigger teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
