If we're in a bidding war with Chelsea, Arsenal or even Liverpool, not to mention any non Englisg clubs interested, then quite frankly we dont stand a chance.

If levy hands over 20 big big big ones, I'll eat my own bollox...while they are still in my scrote...I'll find a way.
Weren't sure whether to rate this funny , informative or creative....I went for funny

Either way good luck if it does happen (benteke signing that is ) ;)

Sorry to tell you this but it goes on in nearly EVERY transfer, always has and probably always will. Maybe some is more blatant than others but you need to get the nod before pursuing your target. Its how you do it that becomes the sticking point 'if' you get caught.
Villa was always going to be iffy due to wages and age.
Croatian lads seems to be dragging on and i do hope we are not trying to be too clever with the money......
Outgoings not moving as we are after big money and not surprisingly no-one is taking them off our hands.
Benteke is a lot of money so you guys can ruminate if DL will buy...? I dont know at this point.
Looking quite negative then :(

Dortmund were rumored to be interested before, and with Lewandowski looking like he'll be off I wouldn't be surprised to see them grab Tekkers.

Don't want benteke at all looks clumsy only ever impresses on motd! When you watch him he just looks average no way in hell would I want to spend 20 mil on him!.

Would rather move for

Either Hernandez's at united or palermo!

Morata at Madrid

Doumbia or lacina traore!

Even lukaku! Or soldado!

Whatever happened to the adryan rumours?

Quotes from the Villa board seems so provincial compared to Spain or Brazil.
Not nearly as exciting.

Chadli would be a solid way to drum up interest for Benteke (along with Dembele/Verts) and to address obvious areas for starting talent and depth.

Ah, he may sign, but my arse is Levy handing over pure wedge for him. My plums are golden, fear not ;)

Cheers for info JJ... Shame to hear that about the tapping up but I guess it's something that's become part of the modern game.
I've said since you linked us, main guy I want is Halilovic; it's illogical as he won't be able to help us for few seasons but when he can, will be ridiculously good.

I'm also sure he'll be better than Bernard too!

Him, Jedvaj and now perhaps Rebic probably offer the most in terms of value in the medium to long term for us should we get put off by outrageous transfer fees.

In 3-4 years time if we don't get him there will be people on here moaning as to why we didn't sign a world class player before he blew up

The JJ snippet, Gards info, the transfer request... All points to us tapping him up unfortunately. Whilst I want him at our club, if it is true I've always thought we're a bit more classy than that. I guess that's what football has become a dog eat dog world and after the Madrid Bale tapping up, have to say I've become desensitized to it.
What JJ snippet?

I'm sure Doumbia is still waiting in that car park for our Daniel to get back in touch!

I really believe Benteke is the right man for us! 19 premiership goals in his debut season for a piss poor Villa side last season was unreal! Belgium lately are producing some top talents and he slots in perfectly for our formation and along with our fellow Belgians!!!

Isnt Benteke an Arss fan? That and the 25mil it would cost both make me think we will not be signing him this summer. For that sort of cash I would want a more established strike such as Soldado.

Cheers for the update JJ - really hope we are not dragging our heels over the croatians, especially if over money as it will most likely cost us big time in the long run if we miss out.
Not sure if Benteke is the answer, really impressed in some games, but has that "one season" doubt over him. Would readily chance him at 7 million like Villa paid , but at 20+ it is a worry - what we need is this years Benteke, but then how likely is that ? ?
Think the Higuain talk will only serve to aggravate people here, unlikely he will come to us when gooners will pay more and can offer CL, lets not do that to ourselves.
