Any news on benteke?

Unbelievable12
Official enquiry from Liverpool, who were quoted £20 million. Also interest from Arsenal and Spurs. Realistically, he is likely to be sold this summer for about £15 million, maybe less
Agree1
Disagree17
Lambert & Lerner will be looking for £30m for Benteke, no question about it. He is raw talent that will fit in anywhere, but hopefully he will honour his contract. As Lambert stated " he is under contract and will not be going anywhere. "
Agree13
Disagree3
What planet are you? he will not be sold for under 20 million. if someone wants him now then I would ask for 30 million.
Agree12
Disagree4
Realistically, if we sold Barry for £18m & Milner for £24m + Ireland. Benteke is worth £30m.
Agree10
Disagree1
You are of course taking the Mick?
Liverpool sold Torres for 50 mil and bought Carroll for 35 Mil.
If we do sell, those are the kind of figures we should be negotiating around
Mendax

If Liverpool paid £19m for Downing, then CB will be £20m at the very least.
But considering they have zip Euro football next season and are in decline, why would he go there? Surely he would stick it out for a better move?
Agree5
Disagree2
We would be daft to sell for anything less then 25m!
There's is the inevitable threat of Benteke being in a strop next season and not givin his all but with a World Cup coming up and potential bad attitude rep it could create I don think he will.
If he goes then so be it as long as its on our terms
Agree7
Disagree0
Nope. None of those previous transfers have any relevance to what clubs will offer for Benteke.
An unsettled player, with just one good season in the PL. means Benteke is worth about £10 million. Given he is under contract and that strikers come with a premium, means clubs might pay £15-20 million.

Disagree8
If we are using this scale, Suarez will be sold for 4million to Real Madrid
Agree8
Disagree2
If Liverpool say they want £50m + for Suarez, we know they'll have money. Also, Spurs don't want Benteke they want Damiao & Arsenal have lots of cash & Villa will know that & up their prices like we did with Man City.
Agree5
Disagree1
Benteke twice the player torres is so theoretically we want 100 million. u scouse jokers 15 million in your dreams
Agree7
Disagree0
Arsenal have jus signed yaya sanogo young french striker in same mould as bentekkers so I seriously doubt gunners want him.
Agree5
Disagree0
These moronic opposing fans thinking benteke is gunna be sold for £15m are showing they have no knowledge about football whatsoever! Absolute fools!

Why do scousers think every player in the world wants to join them get real their best player will be off soon suarez using Liverpool now a little club to engineer a move to a big club benteke getting slagged to the ground nothings happened yet so get off his back he's going nowhere
Agree2
Disagree2
Don't talk crap, Benteke will go to the highest bidder, he is in this game to make a living, get rich and retire young with Millions in the bank, Villa get ready to wave him good by, on deadline day.
Agree4
Disagree6
I don't think many Villa fans disagree with the fact that Benteke wants to earn millions and play in the Champions League.
What almost all disagree with is the pitful valuation that some Liverpool fans have on a player who had an outstanding season, is young and also has three years remaining on his contract.
Villa fans have become used to selling its best players, so I don't think that is at all relevant in this discussion
Agree8
Disagree0
Why be a fan that says they're going to sell our best player, support him or get on the bus and go up st Andrews
Agree2
Disagree5
4 of the top 6 clubs are now prepared for battle over Benteke's signature, Spurs are leading the way with a bid of £23. mil
Agree0
Disagree5
He is worth 15 million no more he has only played 1 season in england ba cisse jellavic all scored goals in there first season but haven't been as good in there 2nd
Agree1
Disagree2
I like how people say is "worth" this or that amount.
He is "worth" whatever price Villa put on him, especially with three years left on his contract lol
Agree3
Disagree0
Irony!! :) Liverpool fans saying benteke is only worth £15m cus he's only had 1 good season, Liverpool were stupid enough to pay £35m for Carroll after less than 1 season in the prem lol
Agree4
Disagree1
Totally agree, they should all buy a copy of "football for dummies " as they don't know what they're talking about.

Liverpool have enquired about the availability of Benteke. Almost certainly a sign that LFC know Suarez will be gone in the summer, with both Real and Athletico bidding £35 million.
No idea what the Villa response was to the enquiry but all the indications are that Benteke wants to leave. Would have assumed he wanted a club which qualified for the Champions League but maybe money will be the ultimate draw for him.
Looking at £15 million move maybe closer to £18 million

Unbelievable12
Shove that 15-18m up your arse, no less than 25m
Agree14
Disagree1
Lmao in your dreams £15 million? and why the hell on earth would he want to join the pool with no europa and champions league, get real. Don't believe the hype and stop believing everything you read you amateur. He's not leaving this season. Period!
Agree11
Disagree3
We REALLY don`t want him thanks. not even on a free. He reminds me of Heskey. Maybe Stoke will take him off you.
Regards LFC
Agree0
Disagree15
He won't go for 15 million, over 20, he's class and is only going to get better, plus Arsenal and flopspurs are in for him too.
Agree10
Disagree3
No way he'll go for less than £20m
Agree11
Disagree2
It will be 25million plus if he goes, Lambert has said before nothing under 25mil. Why would we sell a player who is going to be world class in year or so for 15/18mil? fans of other clubs are so deluded if you think we will sell Benteke for anything near 15/18mil.
Agree8
Disagree0
More naive fans sadly.
Benteke wants to leave. More reports linking him with Spurs and Arsenal. But the Liverpool enquiry occurred in the past 48 hours.
As I said - if you can read - that the lack CL football may be a factor but in the end, money is everything.
And you are kidding yourselves if you think Benteke will be sold for more than £20 million.
Now everyone knows he is unsettled, the price will drop
Agree3
Disagree10
"Lmao in your dreams £15 million? and why the hell on earth would he want to join the pool with no europa and champions league, get real. Don't believe the hype and stop believing everything you read you amateur. He's not leaving this season. Period!"
Ed - any way we can frame this amateurish comment for future reference? Something to laugh at when Benteke is sold for £15 million in the summer

"He won't go for 15 million, over 20, he's class and is only going to get better, plus Arsenal and flopspurs are in for him too. "
Yep. Reported this morning. But the price will drop now that everyone knows Benteke wants out. Expect about £15-20 million, paid over 3 years
Agree2
Disagree11
You REALLY don't want him? despite him single handedly ruining your defence both times we've played you and scoring a hat-trick in 180 minutes against you? its quite clear that you're only saying you don't want him because you won't get him. any team in the world other than maybe barcelona and bayern munich would love benteke in their team.
Agree9

Benteke is a villa player & doesn't want to leave but shall leave in the summer of 2014 probably!
Agree9

Remember those days not long ago when scousepool tried to get hold of Gareth Barry by devious means. Same tactics and the result will be the same. Unsettle the player then miss out totally as another club come up with the money. Benteke will stay and play his part as a Villa player this coming season and then he will sadly move on, but not to scousepool. The big 4/5/6 all use the same tactics, hint, rumour, nudge until the player believes everything that's going on.
Many years ago Steve Hodge left Villa and went to Spuds following a world cup where a Spuds manager was involved with the team. He came home and packed his bags down to the lane. Remeber Yorke, walked into Gregorys office and told him that he was going to play for MUFC. I don't believe that they were given permission to speak to him let alone agree a transfer.
Agree2
Disagree2
Great by media standards that's Liverpool out of the running, one there fans said they don't want him. That is pritty much the standard of the storys your taking as fact.
I'l gladly keep our "new heskey".
More reports. have you read them? Its the same report rehashed again and again. He may go but to say were naive, I think you should start reading more then just the headline.
Agree4
Disagree0
Is there actually a Liverpool fan who just said they don't want him and that he reminds him of Heskey?
What an absolutely delusional moron!
Agree7

LMFAO
Downing wanted out of Villa
Went to Liverpool for 20mil
Benteke is 100 times the player that Downing is.
Thanks for playing and good luck trying to replace the parrot Suarez. he wants out too by the way, I guess he's worth 4mil now
Agree9
Disagree2
Liverpool may not have the lure of CL football but the are a lot closer to it than Villa, they are a much biggger club with much more potential.
Agree3
Disagree5
That may be true but what we're all saying is why would Benteke chose Liverpool when he has been linked to a range of better clubs who can offer champions league football. He'll go nowhere unless someone pays £25m which in todays market, is easily affordable to these clubs.
Agree2
Disagree0
Liverpool don't want a big guy up top as we've seen with Carroll. Idle speculation by bored scousers living in the past
Agree3
Disagree0
Like the comment signed LFC about the similarity to other strikers. don't want him! Your sign off says it all. Little F. Chance.
Agree4
Disagree0
Another story to sell papers, you read what ever nonsense is in the sun, mirror or any other paper. For example the sun wrote a story about falcao, by a sports journalist that went to university got a degree in sports journalism and he still Diddnt have the initiative to realise that falcao was in fact Colombian not Argentinean!

Music to my ears. I've just read Swansea want Barry bananan for 2 mill! I'll drive him there myself
Believable11
Unbelievable2
I'll pay your petrol money
Agree11
Disagree2
If bannan is sold this summer I will throw a party at my place, details of which shall be confirmed after sale completion. I actually think that if paul lambert had have realised how awful he was sooner as in pre-season sort of time and bought in sylla we'd have been a lot further away from relegation!
Agree9
Disagree1
Are we talking about our invisible man? Great shame but he has not fulfilled the hopes that everyone had for him.
Agree4
Disagree1
Have never rated Bannan as he has never had the pace, brain or quality to compliment a slick attacking team which Villa are (when at our best) and will never be a top player. He may actually fit in with Swanseas style of play (keeping the ball in Midfield) but to get 2m for him is happy days for us and adds a bit more into our coffers.
Agree3
Disagree2
Laudrup has an eye for a quality player. Barry Bannan is a very talented lad and he will prove this in the Swansea side. Shame that VP did not get behind him.
Agree5
Disagree2
I rate him, I think he needs a loan to a prem team

Aston Villa set to offload both Ireland to stoke and Bent to Fulham/QPR. The villains also will sign Luke Murphy and Aaron Cresswell once we seal contracts with the likes of Benteke/Weimann/Lowton.
The new kit to be revealed on the 14th June.
