just heard Manchester United have entered talks with agent to sign benteke. this must be the strong presence needed that moyes was on about. no wonder he refused to go on tour. get £20 mill and I would be happy.

Who has told you this utter rubbish - Bentekes agent?
Presumably we are getting Rooney as a makeweight in the deal.

Not sure they can enter into talks with the agent from hell.
Surely they must first contact Villa to agree a fee.

I hope he does go Manchester United as he will spend most off the time on the bench
as he won't get the nod over rvp or rooney surely villa need to hold out for that £25 mill hope we don't get bullied into less then that

I doubt this very much.

Benteke's going to spurs for 25m. He's not going to Chelsea because he wouldn't get enough first team football so why would he go to man u?

United have RVP, Welbeck, Rooney & Hernandez, why would they want someone with such a bad attitude! they don't & won't!

Was there a roumor the other week regarding danny welbeck being linked with the villa if this was correct and the roumor of bentekke to united surely welbeck + 10 mil would b great buisness

MUFC have a habit of stealing our top players so £20m is not enough, £25/30m would be nearer the ball park figure.
They unsettled Yorke, see John Gregorys comments, and it is suggested that Young was approached as it was said that he knew some time before it became open knowledge that he would be playing for MUFC.
Real money this time no make weights or add ons unless they are above the asking price.

Easily pleased then I see.

There is no reason why we should lower the price on a player who is contracted to us for three further years.

We are in the drivers seat here. He goes at our valuation or he stays and either makes amends for his actions or will ride the bench.

Spurs made us pay for Jenas even when he was injured, so they can stump up or forget it. Chelsea might be a good place to send him, but they want to offer Ba plus 7-10mil, so not an ideal bit of business as we want straight cash.

Perhaps if Man U paid the full price we may go ahead with a move, but it may arouse interest if they were to offer cash plus Welbeck. he has undoubted ability but is a risk and hasn't been at all consistent.

I am all in favour of doing business for the full cash amount only and allow Lambert to weave his magic once more.

Said it before and il say it now. welbeck 1 league goal last season compared to almost 20 for benteke?
10mil and welbeck would be awful business for us.

God, I am so bored of these posts that are nothing more than mischief making
They are the online equivalent of graffiti but without any artistic merit
Please guys, give it a rest

With respect to chelsea offering Ba as part of the deal (and i'm not sayinh they will or that he will come) given that he will probably insist on a low release clause like he did at newcastle (7m), what would his value be in such a deal? can't see chelsea offering ba and 18m.

15.) 16 Jul 2013
Benteke wants spurs to press up there pursuit of him this week as he does not want to come back to villa! feeling guilty is he?

16.) 16 Jul 2013
The 25 mill price will not be met because benteke wants out and the last thing villa want is a rouge player. He will join the mighty spurs for 19-23 mill

17.) 16 Jul 2013
"Spurs made us pay for Jenas when he was injured" gun in the mouth I'm guessing? Lmao, so pathetic!

Enough of benteke talk we're all sick of it the most important thing at villa park is that we don't lose the most aggressive and talented teaM buider since ron SAUNDERS PAUL LAMBERT
