AstonMartin82 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Heard today that he will leave and go to either Arsenal or Chelsea for 25 million. Also heard that he could of gone for 7 million in the summer but Villa convinced him to sign a new contract and paid him a decent amount of cash to sign it. Not been injured and has been training most days. I don't know whether to believe the above or not but thought I would post it. The lad I work with uses a players season ticket and drives him to games. Also said Baker is a clearing in the woods and Albrighton never wanted to come back from his loan. Would have never of left for £7m in a hundred blue moons. Don't have an opinion on his training, though it is possible he has been lightly training throughout the injury. The comment on Baker is neither here or there. There are plenty of people that I think are awesome but others would think are clearings in the woods. Doesn't affect their ability to perform. Not sure about Albrighton thing either... it would seem he has been given a last chance of PL and is making the most of it. It would seem odd to turn that opportunity down from your boyhood club? Anyways, in other news, Tekkers is 7.5 for first goalscorer. Easy money there today!! Come on Tekkers!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 So want him to score. Hate people who think its just second season syndrome or he's a one season wonder.The guy is quality. The silver lining in this injury plagued year is that he may end up staying another year with us.If thats the case then it will happen, if not then he is indeed a one season wonder...

mikeyp102 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Arsenal looking for a striker as giroud now injured. Benteke would be perfect for them, can really see him gone by feb. Lets hope he smashes in 2 today and increases his fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Fees are really inflated in Jan so we may get £25-30m ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think there's good chance he's go(o)ner this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If it meant the 25m got was given to lambert then i wouldn't be too gutted to see him go tbh, especially the way he's playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 1, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 1, 2014 Good tweet from Mat Kendrick saying Benteke is only 1 goal behind his tally at this stage last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It would have to be a stupid offer to sell him now. Anything under £30 million and we'd be stupid to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but he was in good goal scoring form at international level and in the cup for us also. Hopefully a goal today will pick his form back up.

To be honest if the manager gets all the money to spend to strengthen other areas then you need to look at this as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He showed glimpses of his class. He was KNACKERED at the end though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Looked a lot stronger today and slowly getting his touch back. Also unlucky not to score. Looks like the lad is awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'd play him at sheffield though we keep saying all he needs is a goal, should have scored today aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Unlucky not to score. Still a bit short but the benefit he has to our team is immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'd play him for 60mins in the FA Cup Saturday - hopefully refind that much missed goal scoring touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
