Frank Raphael Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 If there is any chance to hijacking Newcastle's move for Mitrovic, we should go for it. This is what I think too. Young, looks very impressive on Youtube (I know), scores goals and is very highly rated. He would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dounavilla Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I can see Shear-Wood opting for a different kind of striker than just a big guy . I'm thinking more if an all rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 With a management team of Fox/Almstadt/Reilly/Sherwood/Wilkins I'm a lot more confident that we can purchase a good replacement with the Benteke cash. As opposed to Lambert who actually bought Benteke in the first place?With a management team of Fox/Almstadt/Reilly/Sherwood/Wilkins I'm a lot more confident that we can purchase a good replacement with the Benteke cash.

VillaChris Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Do Genk have a sell on clause? How does that impact on the release clause? Maybe we set it at 32.5m as the percentage works that we get 30m from that and Genk get 2.5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Its going to be a real shame not seeing him in a Villa shirt next season. Fully expected, but all the same. Liverpool are a massive club, but I really feel he could do much better. We must spend the money wisely and invest in two strikers in my opinion.

He is a far better player than Giroud. When he is on form he is. Well he has been on better form than Giroud for the 3 years he has been here. Benteke has got 42 in 88 games for us over 3 seasons, Giroud got 41 in 97. That is before we even get into the players around them and the number of chances created not to mention Benteke had to make a return from a major injury during that time. Giroud is nowhere near Benteke's ability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Mitrovic and Praat double swoop would be lovely. May as well go for Tielemans too if we're already shopping in the Anderlecht store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Did we offer him an improved contract? If not, why not? There was talk I think of us going as high as £90k a week (although I took that with a large pinch of salt). I think it would be well worth offering him that for another year on his existing contract with the same £32.5m escape clause to rescue him from the potential hell of spending a couple of years playing for a club whose fans do not want him on a similar salary to play a couple of games in the Europa League and less games than he would for us in the PL. Or could it be that we need to sell to buy? If so, we need to do that as well as Southampton did with less money. By the way that tortoise that I mentioned that had left Anfield this morning with their £32.5m bid is still some way from Villa Park it seems.

Giroud is nowhere near Benteke's ability. Didn't Giroud also have a major injury ? I rate Giroud I think when he's on form he's a very good forward ... And also a different sort of forward to Benteke imo ... So ability wise it would be hard to compare but I wouldn't mind having them both in my squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
