Stevo985 Posted March 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone know how many bookings Benteke has picked up now ? Is he far off a suspension Apparently he has 5. So I assume he's already served a suspension at some point. So he's 5 away from another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sell him to arsenal for 20m + frimpomg I think Frimpong is on a free at the end of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Another goal! How many for the season is that now? Absolutely bossed the Reading defence. Need him to be up for every single game to keep us in the hunt for survival! IF we stay up I bloody hope we can keep him for one more year. Absolutely class. (Also scored our 1000th premier league didn't he?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Gabby got the 1000th, and it was Benteke's 16th of the season and 12th in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 16 goals in a struggling side is a bloody good return. 9 games to go - reckon he can break the 20 goal barrier! Its not just his goals, but his sheer presence. He holds the ball up so well and wins everything in the air. Hard to believe he is only 22.

Its not just his goals, but his sheer presence. He holds the ball up so well and wins everything in the air. Hard to believe he is only 22. If we managed, somehow, to get 4 points from the next couple of games there'd be a real lift in pressure, and he might actually manage to be the first man in a long time to get 20 league goals in a villa shirt. I know that'd mean 8 from 8, but a couple of braces and that looks a lot more doable. If we get beat next week though, I can't see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Completely agree. Brilliant football player who will play at the very top within the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houlston Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Immense today, him and Lukaku up front for Belgium is mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'm going to say he was shit today. Reason being I want him to keep his feet on the ground and not be thinking about big moves. It put him off his game v arsenal all the hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Gabby got the 1000th, and it was Benteke's 16th of the season and 12th in the league Sorry to pick you up on this but Benteke got the 1000th. Aston Villa FC @AVFCOfficial Christian Benteke's equaliser is Villa's 1,000th Premier League goal.#AVFCLIVE Edited March 10, 2013 by Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Will be the best striker in Europe in a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted March 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 10, 2013 Will be the best striker in Europe in a few years I think that is unlikely if for no other reason than you never know what players will emerge but he certainly has the raw attributes to be in contention for that sort of accolade. It will take a lot of good fortune, hard work and better players around him to achieve it he certainly can't achieve it in our colours. That said, I'm not sure he will even be the best striker in the Belgium team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yep, I think we have all accepted that he is destined for big things. Just hope we can get a big transfer fee for him.. Lets enjoy the time he is here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Will be the best striker in Europe in a few years That's along the lines of a sgc quote... He is good and could become better with hard work, but i really doubt he'll be the best striker in the world 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
