Looks like Lansbury deal is done, great piece of business, just what we need. if we could get the following in then promotion is a real possibility
Rb breer from Barnsley ( be an amazing coup if we pull it off, promise of first team football might just convince him )
Hourihane or huddlestone cm
Brady ( swap with McCormack)
If we could get 15 million from the Chinese for ayew combined with what's in the kitty then a strong bid for benteke should be seriously considered. Think he would be really tempted as he has messed up the last few years of his career up whilst being paid handsomely and he might think game time at a club where his loved is more important than higher wages somewhere else.

Another way of looking at it from Benteke's side of things. go back to Villa, score 15+ goals rest of the season, IF we don't get promoted after that, he's been in the shop window, be no shortage of takers at the price we've paid.
IF/ WHEN we go up, he's the focal point of our team, build it around him, back being Belgiums 1st choice No9, and becoming a true Villa legend whose name we'll be singing for generations to come

Can we all stop mentioning transfers for the second of putting money in the kitty. I like your plans smudge but sell ayew because he's useless not because we need the money! Ally I'm still with you, we can dream! #BBB Benteke, Kodja up top, that would arguably be the highest quality strike partnership the Championship has ever seen, Goals Goals Goals!



11 Jan 2017 21:32:35
Your missing the point Chris. The Chinese are willing to pay more than the 10 million we paid for ayew so if we receive an offer of 15-20 million for that piece of rubbish then that will go down as the best bit of business villa have done in a long time. Besides we need more funds than what's available to achieve promotion this season.



12 Jan 2017 12:42:23
You said selling him would add to the kitty, the kitty don't matter just sell him and get someone better in. His on big wages and offers relatively nil on the pitch, don't worry about the kitty just worry about the team on the pitch



11 Jan 2017 16:34:53
dr. tony says we are after 7 players and hopes to get three or four. gutted gardner gone the blues his just what we need goalscoring midfielder who works hard and don't just pass sideways. Wish we would just stop talking and get somebody we can get excited about. on here says current fav player havnt really got 1 havnt had 1 for 8 years now.



11 Jan 2017 18:01:46
Gutted a player who stuck two fingers up to us, admitted he is a blue nose, and hoped we lost, didn't sign?!

I'm not.



11 Jan 2017 18:12:48
Gutted Gardners gone the blues? Aye? He isn't that good for one, his decent but not a world beater, an two when he left all of a sudden he hated the villa an all the rest of it. They can have him, his goals might just keep them firmly mid table!



11 Jan 2017 18:46:02
With you on that one Flacks.



11 Jan 2017 22:50:25
One of the daftest posts I've seen in a while. And let's be fair, there's been no shortage of competition

Just read the story about Palace considering selling Benteke, and it got me dreaming, seems like I'm not the only one! What a signing, surely they'd accept 25mil, and the owner and management kept banging on about buying players that have quality in the prem for when we get there. I don't think it's true however his a big sam sort of striker, and there would be a long list of teams after him, BUT it would be amazing were he to come back, he clearly still thinks about the Villa an has openly talked about us, here's to dreaming!



11 Jan 2017 10:18:01
I suggested this in the summer and got 90% pelters, Gestede £6M, McCormack £12M = £18M, see how Ayew gets on in ACN and maybe get £10-12M and the money's there, and if we go up, already got our No9, £100M+ to spend on rest of the team, makes perfect sense to me?

& a signal of intent to players that are thinking of joining

Good idea ally to sell them as their not pulling their weight, but wouldn't need to do it just for the money, I think the owner would sanction the move for benteke if he was willing to come! #BBB



11 Jan 2017 12:07:39
I think so too about Dr Tony, good call 👍🏻

If only we could get Benteke to team up with Kodjia what striker partnership that would be.



11 Jan 2017 06:37:53
Let's start the triple B campaign here. Bring back Benteke.



11 Jan 2017 08:27:41
I like it #BBB



11 Jan 2017 15:23:36
#bbb on Tony's twitter. let's make this happen guys



11 Jan 2017 21:55:14
I reckon tony would find the money to bring Benteke back if Bruce wanted him.



11 Jan 2017 04:40:34
Hi people we need a striker benteke, is up for grabs he would love to come back to Villa and regrets leaving we want to go up great way how to do it. Oh Christen Benteke. Now back to the real world we need 2 hard working box to box midfielders for me westwood won't run and jedinak can't run. Come on Bruce please get it right. UTV



11 Jan 2017 01:53:39
Pretty sure Benteke will regret ever leaving, has gotten paid well though for his lack of playtime at two different clubs. I'd take him on loan in a heartbeat



11 Jan 2017 08:28:26
The story is they want to sell him for funds



11 Jan 2017 00:03:00
Just wanted to say hi as i have been reading all your comments over the last year. I go to as many games as my health let's me. Some of you know what your talking about. But some of you really don't know .
as for the villa. this is how it is.
We need 2 or 3 midfielders. we need another striker not just for this month but long term as you can't put all the goals on kodjia. we have always in the past have had some of the best wingers, we need this again we are lacking on the left. In defence we only need a rightback which is plain to see for a long time. If you look at all the players we have been linked with, you will see what i said is common knowledge.
Heres my thought for you all.
The best players are the ones no ones heard of before we buy them.
TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAY WE WONT GET PROMOTED. SHUT UP COURSE WE WILL WE ARE THE VILLA!

Way to make an entrance!



11 Jan 2017 08:30:44
We are screwed then because we've all heard of Lansbury, Brady, Shlupp, Hourihane - with the amount of press their getting haha
