Daniel Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? If he gave 100%, then sure. If he is going to sulk and cry, then no. Edited July 12, 2013 by Daniel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2013 i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? Of course. He can say he was badly advised (which he is). We do actually want him here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? Of corse it's happened before and it will happen again, but the relationship with the fans won't be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? Definitely! He's been a mug but he's such a vital player for us. He's also not been running his mouth in the press, unlike his agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Damn, he's such a good player. We've all known for some time that he's destined for bigger things. But I'm sure we'd all be happy to keep him here for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? I think so, as soon as he scores a goal or two. After all, he's not done anything truly unforgiveable, slagged off the club etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

privateer Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It's basically what has been reported by he local media, that he has been given till the first week in Aug, I however think it will rumble on. 1st week of August - thats not very long before the start of the season to get someone in! Personally I don't think that is the deadline. I'm still inclined to think it is actually the day he returns to training - the 18th - unless negotiations are at a very advanced stage with somebody.

pacbuddies Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? Whoever blasphemes against the Aston Villa will never be forgiven, he is guilty of an eternal sin. However, if he scores a few goals for us next season then the smite will not be so great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? I wont be forgiving him. As far as Im concerned hes been nothing but insulting on a few occassions towards Villa which for me is taking the piss. Yeah hes a brilliant player and all but hes a pleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? After many years of similar situations I've stopped emotionally investing in players which makes it easier and sometimes even unnecessary to 'forgive'. If CB performs well for us on the pitch, it makes it easier to forget his shenanigans off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo82 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'll never forgive him just like i'll never forgive Downing Southgate and rest before them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? If he gave his all for the team, and signed an extended contract then I would welcome him back into the team. I don't know whether I would fully trust him again, but I never really did in the first place anyway. Oh, and getting a new agent would help as well.

PieFacE Posted July 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2013 If he does stay i'll celebrate when he scores, but wont be singing his name. I'll sing the name of whoever did the assist, and if he made the goal himself... i'll just sing for Guzan instead! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 i have a question: what if benteke change his mind and stays would the fans forgive him? Yeah - it'll never be quite the same though. Same as what? I understand why he was idolised by some, goals will do that. I just never really got it myself. There was always something about his demeanour that turned me off him to a degree and the fact that we've known all along that he would walk as soon as the big clubs and the big clubs came knocking. If he stays and continues to score goals that's great, I'm well up for that. I'll sing his name as I always have, nothing will change. We've a few players more worthy of our idolisation - Gabby, Weimann, Lowton, Guzan... The club will move on. Things will always be "the same". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) so its better that he just leaves? I would rather him stay for one more season. If he plays well, then he has earned his chance to move onto better teams. Edited July 12, 2013 by Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2013 so its better that he just leaves?No. It's better that he stays and gives 100%, which I'm confident he would do in that situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 so its better that he just leaves? Well no, obviously not. He's a very, very good player. We need those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
