AVFCforever1991 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Benteke and Weimann are starting to form a formidable partnership Starting? Those two have been clicking for a while. Andi is such a good strike partner to have because he can adapt his game to whoever he plays with. Yeah agreed , continuing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroVillan Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Quiet first half. His unbelievable self second half. Haven't loved a player this much since Yorke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I didn't think he played particularly but still scored the winning goal, sign of a good striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Quiet first half. His unbelievable self second half. Haven't loved a player this much since Yorke. Enjoy it while it lasts, this bloke will be off in the summer I expect. As long as we get a decent replacement I wont really care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yeah he will go. We've been lucky to see him for 12 months, we just have to realise we are a selling club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 We better not sell him cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yeah he will go. We've been lucky to see him for 12 months, we just have to realise we are a selling club. Most clubs wouldn't be able to keep hold of someone like Benteke for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 If we are in the Premier League next year we don't have to sell. Unless the offer is over £30 million, in which case we could reinvest that. Otherwise I'd wait a year - because we can do that - until we get an offer that is over £30 million. Villa is not a selling club if we can help it. I would expect another year from Benteke (unless we get the £30m+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) An extra year could benefit Benteke, he is still quite raw. Today he gave the ball away a hell of a lot, I doubt he could afford to play like he did for large parts of the game today at a 'top' club. That said there's bound to be a number of offers for him and I seriously doubt that he'll be here. I can see him and his agent forcing a move if there's serious interest. I wouldn't blame him for that either, he clearly is a highly ambitious guy and Villa will never be able to match his ambitions.

If he's happy plying his trade for a lower mid table team then we might just keep him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Well firstly it's not guaranteed that he'll go in the summer. Secondly, most clubs in this league would struggle to hold onto someone of Benteke's quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 based on previous, he will go. It'll be 20m, we'll get 15m as our transfer window budget and will go backwards again. Secondly, I think they would hold on much longer than us - 10 months.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 He might go this summer, but neither of us have any idea how much he'll go for and how much Lambert will get to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
