abdomlahor Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 They're signing Riviere from Monaco, so this is absolute bollocks. Not that it wasn't in the first place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 12m for a player coming off an achilles rupture and not due back until at least October? Newcastle fans are nuts. If true, then Newcastle nuts. I don't think they'd regret that purchase They definitely wouldn't. But such is the arrogance of Newcastle fans that they think it's even remotely realistic. Despite being fit for a grand total of 2 months last season he still scored what, 10 goals? Combine that with his obvious ambition, he'll never play for Newcastle. It's an absurd notion, notice it didn't stop some Villa fans getting in a tizzy about it. I'm getting the feeling he'll be back before October. He's in light training right? At least, he's doing exercise that require him to put weight on his ankle and turn it... Absurd recovery rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were Benteke (and I think he'll have a similar mindset), I'd be pushing to get fitter than ever for next season to go harder than ever. People are still unsure about him outside of the Villaverse and I think if he smashes it next season he'll get a very big move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) if he felt Spurs and the lure of London lights wasn't for him he's hardly going to go to Newcastle He will leave villa for a champions league side as and when he goes Edited July 17, 2014 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Benteke has also gone to the States with the first team - no chance of him playing but think it's a good move to keep him in with first team affairs. (same goes for Kozak, who's also gone!) Also saw a picture of Senderos with the team at the airport - he's back quicker from post WC holiday than expected Edited July 19, 2014 by theboyangel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 With the recent extra money in football now and the fact that Fulham just paid 11m for a Championship player, Borini 14m, how much is Benteke worth? Gotta be touching the 30m mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(same goes for Kozak, who's also gone!) Also saw a picture of Senderos with the team at the airport - he's back quicker from post WC holiday than expected I think it's a good move bringing Benteke and kozak to the states with us. Obviously neither would be playing, but will keep them involved in the squad instead of training alone back here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be touching the 30m mark. If fatty Mccormack is worth 8 then I would value Benteke somewhere around the 35 mark. £35 billion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I think original guesstimations were the New Year, but considering that he's doing fitness work already, it could be sooner. October perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
