br3ah Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Maybe being a bit cynical, but I don't think he really cares much about going to a club in the Champs League/Europe. I think he just wants more money. I don't get that impression, I just think he wants to be battling at the top end of the table instead of the bottom and who can blame him.

DCJonah Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It will really hurt to see him succeed for those words removed. Apart from spurs i can't think of another team i'd hate him to join. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'll probably get abuse for this but deep down i hope someone meets the buyout clause and we get the cash. I think Benteke is world class and i love the man for keeping us up for three seasons. But being realistic, i think the way we will progress up the table is to reinvest this money in 3 10-12 million type quality players. IMO if benteke stays we probably are fighting relegation again, if he goes and we bring in these 3 players then we move towars mid table. Its a gamble but sure what isnt with our funds. Assuming someone bids and meets the clause (which as far as I know no one has yet), we still won't have 32 million to spend. Something like 8m goes to Genk, then as Benteke hasn't requested to leave he'll get some sort of payout, plus whatever lawyers and agents cream from it. I would guess the cash we end up with is actually closer to 20 million than 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me both are acceptable, Id love to keep Benteke but if he goes and we spend the money wisely then it will be a good move too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what Benteke would be due but say we have 26mill then we would have 3 good players plus the money we would already have for this years transfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I respect him immensely for what he has done for us and his goals have effectively kept us in this division 3 seasons running. But he's going to Livershite, so I hope he fails miserably at that horrible club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 We should get about £29m then, not too bad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 With his departure looking a mere formality, we look to the future. We have up to £32m to spend on a replacement. Who can we get? It's a decision we can't get wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
