SikhInTrinity Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 He's 23, I don't know what all the fuss is about, he's lost some form and in fairness last season he didn't really get going until Xmas anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Think £25-30m will be enough to price him away unless he goes on an insane scoring streak during december.If Tottenham is involved im sure there will be a player + money deal I'd like to think that we've learnt our lesson when it comes to those. What if holtby or the greatest player in the history of the world was involved? Well i think most fans would accept Sigurdsson, Holtby or Dembele + Money as part of a swap However were dealing with Levy so he is more likely to offer Dawkins, Jenas, Defoe + Money as part of the deal.

samjp26 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Fancy him scoring tonight! Hopefully he'll come on and score after 65 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonoridge91 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Is it weird to notice that when Delph scored the winner he wasn't one of the players celebrating with him despite being the closest to him when he scored? I reckon he's really annoyed he's not scoring right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) I'd keep him on the bench at the weekend. Edited December 5, 2013 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he's really annoyed he's not scoring right now. Yeh it did some a bit odd, but he was screaming for the ball from Delph before Delph shot so I can understand it a little bit.

Rovers13 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 He gave a big fist pump after the goal. Who gives a shit if he sprinted over to delph and piled on top of him or whatever? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Benteke seemed better in those 30 odd minutes than what he did in the previous 4 games. Hopefully the healthy scratch changed his attitude a bit and makes him sharpen up a bit. I remember Fergie did this to Ronaldo, after that he went on an insane streak.

islingtonclaret Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Y not try gabby as lone striker Because we went though a patch where 3 strikers couldn't score goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'd keep him on the bench at the weekend. Same. I'd like to see our regular front 3 but with Kozak in Benteke's spot. Let Kozak know that he has earned that role for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa_shere Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 His hold up play is suffering, the ball used to stick to him like glue but he hasnt been the same since his injury, I hope he scores soon for everyones sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thought he was much better last night. It made a very noticeable difference to our game when he came on. The run up and leap he gets on those headers is crazy. He won a lot of headers when he came on and Kozak won very little. Personally I'd start him on Sunday because I think he's our best player on form and now he has a point to prove. It would be tough on Kozak but it depends how we play really. I don't think Kozak is a particularly similar player to Benteke. Doesn't seem to enjoy holding the ball up or winning the flick ons. Maybe that will come in time but right now he seems like a more physical version of Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozac was poor until getting the goal so id go with Bentekke against fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I still love the beast. Am I his number one fan? ps - get in the queue behind me Belgian Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Maybe he's had the kick up the arse he needed. Start him and if he's still moping, drop him again. I like Kozak and I think he'll be an asset to us once he has settled down and matured a bit, but Benteke is our best player at the end of the day.

AshVilla Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Play Benteke up front If Vlaar is injured play Kozak at CB Anything but Clark and Baker or Benteke and Kozak... Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
