Christian Benteke

[Gbspurs]

Thing is can Villa afford to stick to their guns? they already have one expensive striker unhappy and benched, they couldn't afford for the same to happen with Benteke so im convinced they would lower their expectations.

Maybe, but isn't Lukaku already that player for them?

'In response to reports Benteke has not travelled 2 Germany with the Club and has made a transfer request, both are accurate, for clarity’s sake, however, he had already been given extra time off until July 18 & was reminded there are 3yrs remaining on his contract, we consider him to be a Villa player & expect he'll be with us for the 2013-14 season. Having received transfer request, we've also informed him that should we receive offer within appropriate time frame during preseason that meets valuation we would act upon it. But he'll remain a Villa player should this not happen. Villa manager PL said “While we’re hugely disappointed Christian has put in a transfer request, its important people appreciate we're trying build something strong vibrant at Villa, something Club demands&stands for & we want CB part of it.”

Supposedly a statement from Villa. The time frame part sounds key, if he's going he's going soon since Lambert wants a replacement.

Eitherway we'll find out soon.

But could potentially be Lukaku.

Have times and telegraph said Chelsea want him? Seems a coincide they say that last two days and he hands in a transfer request

Like the part with the time frame. So nothing to deal out on Deadline Day.

Maybe that is our chance when City, Chelsea and Arsenal have other plans. But can't see us spending so much on him.

Let's offer them 20m and offer a couple of decent players to tempt them (Townsend and rose).
Christ they took Dawkins on loan last season, they would surely be interested in that deal.

I dunno if you guys have already seen this, but apparently Benteke has handed in a transfer request!!!

Ah not Townsend. Give them Livermore & a good loan for Carroll

If Chelsea want Benteke give us Lukaku then. But doesn't he have a problem with AVB or something?

Norwich need a striker though now Holt is off to Wigan.

Naughton and Livermore + £15million..

 

[ButchCassidy]

I don't think Chelsea can keep both Lukaku and Benteke happy, they both need to be starters wherever they are. And I would be surprised if City or Chelsea were looking at him instead of higher profile names. If I had to guess, I'd say he will be off to Dortmund to replace Lewandowski, but us and Arsenal probably have a shot.

They bought Wolfswinkel already.

 

[Nick]

I can see Sigurdsson and Livermore(season long loan) plus £12-14m

 

[Snarfalicious]

I honestly could see Lambert loving Adam Smith. He fits the mold perfectly for Villa. Inexperienced? Yes. Successful in the Championship? Yes. Young? Yes. Position of need? Yes.

We need to tempt them not piss them off, benteke is their star man

christ, let Sigurdsson in our squad.


Btw we could be the first team ever to get fucked by Villa twice a month.
