Biskitt Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Do you think we'll boo Benteke on his return? I know Delph is going to get pelters but I would hope we show a little more class with CB, without him we would have been screwed the last 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I hate Liverpool as much as the next man, but he's clearly not wanting to comment because he's not their player yet. Which is respectful. "im sorry but you know im not allowed to talk about it" "id rather focus on the players we have here" there are ways round the question that he could have taken without coming across like an idiot and a blatant liar Yes, of course you're right, your responses are much better. But let's be honest, you were sat in front of a computer with the time to think about them, as opposed to standing in the middle of a pitch (during? after?) a game when he probably had rather a lot of other shit on his mind. What's funny about this is that with those 'I don't know what you're talking about's, he actually showed this club a tiny fraction more respect than any journalist has done in the last eight weeks. The media can't wait to sell him for us, and of course she's happy to pretend that he's already a Liverpool player. Rodgers showed us a tiny bit more respect, but of course he's slated for it on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Agreed. If he had gone out the way he tried to previously (transfer request saga) then yes, I would have booed. This time though he's got on with everything, training, pre-season etc... without as much as a murmur. (agent doesn't count). If he goes without a fuss, no reason to boo him.

jacketspuds Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I won't boo him. We all make poor decisions in life. He has not rocked the boat to get his move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a free reign to say what they like uncontested. Now if Mat Kendrick was able to pose a few questions, he might have said something similar...

zapbranny Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Great player. He goes with my blessing, one of my favourite players in recent times. Particularly fond of the demolition of smalling and the Chest trap volley against Norwich. Think Red Scouse is the wrong club for him. They have a number of striking options, I just wonder if he goes through s dry spells which he does frequently, will they persever like Villa did ( through lack of options) or will he be sat on the bench waiting for another opportunity. I think he will score goals there but my perception is that he scored in clusters of form and 6-7 game barren patches. Id like first refusal to have him back if it doesn't work out.

Popular Post Richard Posted July 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2015 We all knew it was going to happen. If we are honest with ourselves we knew from day 1. All we could really hope for was 1. He scored some goals to help keep us up 2. He wouldnt leave after one season 3. When he did go it would be for a sum of money we could use to try and rebuild the squad For me each one of those were important and each one has been achieved. The fact that it is a record sum for a player we have sold is little comfort though, it could and should have been more. He leaves with my gratitude for all three reasons above. He also leaves with my jealousy that he will achieve more and it will be with another club and the fee they receive will be even bigger. I had hoped it would not happen this summer, I still had my doubts ten days ago. But Christian by big fella I hope you remember us fondly and not as a stepping stone, I hope you fail to score against us but I doubt you will as quite simply you are a huge talent, a beast of a striker . The only player I have seen at the club who was quite obviously world class, and I've seen some good ones, and destined for greater things It's been a blast and I've enjoyed your time with us , perhaps more so because it was generally shite the last three years and my greatest hope now is that your legacy to us is that your leaving helps us enjoy the next few years supporting Villa a little more and that we can recycle the fee to ensure we reap greater dividends in the coming years.
