KjParton Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Aston Villa will demand a whopping 25 per cent of any sell-on fee from Tottenham if they do not match their £26 million valuation of star striker Christian Benteke. http://metro.co.uk/2013/07/17/tottenham-transfer-news-aston-villa-ask-for-big-sell-on-fee-in-christian-benteke-deal-3886539/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think one of the most telling things highlighted by Benteke's dispute is his paltry £20,000 per week wages. As Belgian Guy's dad points out if the rumours are correct that our Club value him at £25M then surely he should have pro rata wages as a reflection of this. I personally value Benteke at £35M minimum, thus £100k should be his minimum wage. It is a difficult conundrum to solve, especially given the amount of wasters & piss takers that we have had sponging off our club in recent years **. The sooner we get rid of these type of parasites the better. Had we already have successfully addressed this problem then we might have been in a better position to offer Benteke the type of contract he undoubtedly deserves & one that he wouldn't just dismiss out of hand.. With the obscene amount of cash currently swamping the Premier League £100K pw is not really that unviable a proposition for a player of Benteke's ability but given our current financial dispensation & necessary prudent transfer policy £65 - £70K is probably our highest possible option at the moment. What do other posters genuinely believe Benteke should be on minimum ( bitterness aside if possible.) As stated I believe that it should be £100k pw minimum. This current wage disparity also strongly suggests to me that `Tekkers` will be gone soon as even tripling his wages to £60K may not be enough plus added to that a new & better deal might bring disharmony into a squad with other players seriously considering themselves to be under valued. NB ** I do not class Darren Bent in the piss taker bracket & have every sympathy for him in his current predicament. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 To be fair, you arent wrong... To be equally fair... Levy is a word removed... The way he operates is entirely rocket polisher-esque... Acts as if everyone owes him a favour and that he doesn't need to repay it at all... Bollocks to him and the rest of them That's how you run a business though. You buy as cheaply as possible and sell as expensively as possible. We just need the balls to play the same game as them. Not meeting the asking price? On your way then. No need for grudges or abuse, he's doing what any other businessman worth their salt would do. Nobody, ourselves included, ever wades in and drops the maximum they're willing to spend on the table from the start (though, in fairness, it would appear that's precisely how we used to operate). Even with the likes of Helenius there was quite a bit of negotiation on our part over hundreds of thousands rather than millions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being saying this since he handed in the transfer request, if the club see him as a £25m player surely he should be oaid accordingly, I agree a minimum of £70k a week but I would begrudgingly go the distance and cough up the 100k, easier typed than done though.

Conversely, if Benteke thinks he's worth £100k a week, the transfer fee on his head should be in line with that His contract is for £20k, that's what he agreed on last summer. We've offered him a pay raise, but he apparently wasn't interested. That's fine, but he can't expect to be worth £100k a week or close to it and leave for less than £25-30m Edited July 17, 2013 by P3te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveburnside Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) So if he scores 15 next season, and his value is £18m, we should start paying him £40k pw?? hmmm Edited July 17, 2013 by Daveburnside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted July 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2013 Ok how about 50k basic with an extra 1-2k per week per goal that rolls over each week, he could end up on 96k a week if he scores 23 goals. We can then sell for 35m plus next year after he's been to the world cup, win win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
