Dr_Pangloss Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 He was very good last season. He seems to be lacking confidence and perhaps a a change of tactics/ style. Not sure it's due to injuries. Injuries explain why he has never been as good as he was here in his first two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted February 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2018 I firmly believe that if you make Benteke the focal point of the team he will still be an extremely effective striker. Get him happy by being the main man and he will score. Maybe he didn't fit in a Klopp system but certainly the way the current Villa team plays he would be very, very useful. He scored 17 goals last season but the guy that signed him has left the club. Couple that with moving to London (which can be a big lonely) place I'm sure has it's all affected him. Palace may look to offload him for around 15 million, he knows Birmingham and Villa - I think he'd be a bargain. (All dependent on promotion of course.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 In Tekkers defence, he is managed by Roy Hodgson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted February 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2018 He might be having a poor season and low on confidence and in his last six games he only has one goal, but it's worth noting that he has five assists in those games. That's great going by anyone's standards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 He is loved by the fans he knows the club and would be a great fit. For me I'd flog kodjia n the summer and get tekkers back if we went up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Belgian first division Ashley Young has had a great career. He has played 186 times for Manchester United, won the Premier League title, the FA Cup, the Charity Shield the League Cup and the UEFA Cup. Was he a better player for Villa? Yes, definitely IMO. But I bet if you were to ask him he doesn't regret a single thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't @Genie just mean he (Benteke) has replaced Young as the player many villans seemingly want back at the club? That was my take on it anyway. Happy to be corrected.

Genie Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Yeah, @Designer1is right. I basically meant he’s linked to “coming back” every window like Young was. If we go up i guess we’ve got more chance of getting CB from Palace than getting Young from United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Would love him back. He just needs love. As good as Lukaku on his day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno Young's age suggests he's getting into the has-been/never-was territory that we seem to love... Or used to I hope we've turned a corner on that (Terry aside obviously).

sne Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Apparently Benteke and his people are looking to cash in and bugger off to the Chinese league in the summer. I'd say get a new agent, but then again he'll make Scrooge McDuck level money there so who can blame him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Yep, reported by Nixon. On twitter who is very itk What a waste of a career, I genuinely thought he would be a huge player when he was with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 If he is available we should be in for him. Would be brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
