thunderball Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Imagine we'd signed Benteke after MONs first season, we could be where Man City are now. Oh well, that's how it goes. I don't think Liverpool are that far ahead of us in reality, they can't play all their strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Imagine we'd signed Benteke after MONs first season, we could be where Man City are now. He'd have been a bit young at that stage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted July 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2015 Keita from Lazio, If Baldini is touting Destro in London we should ask how much, I bet it won't be Benteke money but I doubt he's come. Keita we might get on loan. Gabbiadini has just gone to Napoli so no go there. That's about the best young forwards I can think of over here! None of them are the same type of player as Benteke though really.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Won't be so bad if we reinvest the money wisely. Linked with some good players today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Speaking of Italy. Is Llorente finished as a player? Haven't seen him play in a long time. Please don't take Balotelli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Have we kept PL on retainer to have the same chat he did with CB two years ago? "Mumble mumble mumble" New contract! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Why are we guessing/counting the money the club gets? It's not ours and we have no idea what the bottom line will be. Whether it's 32, 29 or 25m it's irrelevant to fans. I couldn't care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Best of luck to him. Thanks for some lovely memories. Pity his choice of club is so poor, but with any luck he'll move on again in 3 years to a proper team. We'll survive, we always do, and we can strengthen our side effectively. Bon chance, Christian. Well said Sir. One of my favourite ever players in 20 years of supporting this club in arguably our worst ever team over a number of seasons. I wish him little ill if I'm being honest. He certainly will not be retiring at Liverpool that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 16, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2015 Tbh I'm that used to the idea of him leaving that I'm passed caring where he actually goes. He's a player who is way way above our standard atm and Id quite enjoy watching him in a top team tbh. So would I, but he's going to Liverpool instead. Better than us but far from a top team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I also get the feeling he really wants to go to Liverpool. He's very good mates with Lukaku so being in the same city will be a big plus for him. You also have to remember Liverpool remain a massive name on the Continent, just look at the crowds they're drawing in Singapore so they still have this mystique for continental players. He'll also look at it, see them being a win off winning the league in 13/14 and thinking I'm good, Coutinho's good ,Firmino could be good and if Sturridge can stay fit for 5 minutes there could be something special there, that's how players think, just generally looking at league positions rather than much else going on in clubs.

VillaChris Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 What about that Zaza bloke from Sassulo? Also I think it's Osaka at Sampdoria, he looked decent at times last season. Yeah Destro isn't that great, didn't understand why Ac Milan signed him either. Llajic is very good though, wide player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BOF Posted July 16, 2015 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2015 When we lose him we will be worse than last year's team that scraped up. Until we replace him adequately we will be well in the mix for relegation. There's no other way of dressing it up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSmith22 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Embolo got 10 goals last season, dont see why people think he should come in and automatically replace Benteke 10 goals in 18 appearances with only 9 being starts. Sounds pretty good to me. In the Swiss league and then moving to Villa when the pressure will be unbearable as people expecting him to replace Benteke. Could kill the guys career Not a direct or immediate replacement. But I can understand why people think he could be the eventual replacement.

Richard Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I reckon we will get someone like Batshuayi and a more experienced striker like Adebayor. Michy absolutely. Adebayor I'm not so sure about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I just can't for the life of me understand why Arsenal aren't in for him, he would transform them he really would. He's not under 5 foot 8 and can play inside forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
