It seems abit strange this v1ll4n, BR has come out and said he knows nothing about Benteke transfer to Liverstool or he's just stone walling.

I've got a hunch that he might fail his medical, still got the lead in his boots that stopped him jumping or running in the final.

Just a managers way of saying "I don't wish to discuss It" and nothing more, he will be a Liverpool player by the end of tomorrow.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Rodgers does not handle negotiations, mind he probably still knows more about them than he does tactics, so maybe he should do??}

Great clause because the FA Cup final would surely have knocked £5m at least off CB. I have thought Man Utd were going to hijack this deal all along with BRs track record with transfers?

Hey first time posting on this site. been following for years every transfer window.

Im living in Vancouver Canada at the moment so find it hard to follow these rumours and stories as closely.

Is there actualy any evidence that Benteke is leaving the club? I mean the story has got blown up just because of the sale of Sterling.

It seems like everything is happening soon with Villa at the moment. sale of the club / sale of benteke wish all this business would just get wrapped up

Benteke be a fool to leave for Liverpool too. especially with United in need of a striker. Much bigger club.

Just for fun my team for next year

Amavi-Okore-Richards-Bacuna
Grealish-Gueye-Sanchez-Sinclair
Gil-Austin

Hi nivekavfc

Just kidding mate and welcome nice to have you.

Benteke is in London having a medical for Liverpool bit random it's in London but looks like he will be gone this week

Agree1 Disagree1

20 Jul 2015 22:20:47
Hopefully he will be gone tomorrow, so we can spend the money on 3 or 4 players

Agree4 Disagree1

Would love to see Austin , Townsend, darder and ade on loan

Agree1 Disagree3

I see a lot of people prefer hutton to bacuna.
Interested to hear your opinions.

bacuna puts excellent balls into the box although I admit looks afraid on the ball at times and dodgy in defence. hutton on the other hand ends up somehow being our only outlet in attack and he delivers shocking service. lowton used to put a great ball into the box too.

Will you aim higher than Austin and Townsend, I certainly wouldn't want them at Aston Villa, because I don't think that they are worth the money.

Recently Aston Villa had an offer from Roma to sign both Destro and Ljajić.
Tim made an offer to sign Embolo. Romero can also be signed on a free transfer. These are decent quality players, and are worth the money.

Tim would have all the players he needs if he signs them.

Lads, let's aim for these players instead.

21 Jul 2015 12:17:30
Destro,Ljajic,Embolo and Romero ??? Are these de players because they have foreign sounding names ???

Hi, Heard on the grapevine, that Sako is going to join; whilst using delphs wages for him. Great addition!

Believable1 Unbelievable5

20 Jul 2015 12:26:29
Austin odds on to sign at villa apparently!
i can't tell you how much i hope this is true. i honestly think with the addition of austin and maybe 1 or 2 more we are set for a good looking season. i'm not expecting a miracle this year but i do expect a significant difference in our win ratio. mid table i can be happy with this year next year we need to start climbing.

Really hope u r right

I think we need more than 1 or 2

Anyone heard anymore bout this Basel stricken looks perfect in my eyes to replace cb just don't like the sound of us going into the loan market or is this ts double bluffing to keep prices down on our targets because they know we have 40 mil just don't know what's going on 😤

Aston Villa are targeting a lot of strikers to replace Christian Benteke, who will leave the club after Liverpool have agreed to pay out his entire contract release fee. From what I know, Emmanuel Adeboyar, Charlie Austin and Callum Wilson are top of Tim Shirwood's list. All have the potential to be great signins. Let's not forget Shirwood got Adeboyar scoring again at Spurs, Wilson is a great, young, English talent and Austin was one of the top scorers last season despite being in a failing QPR team. Let me know your thoughts.

The Charlie Austin signing is the way to go. Why mess around. If new midfield signings work out, we won't miss Delph. Gil is better going forward. Delph just gave us one decent season. At least Gil and the new lads want to play for Aston Villa. Austin got the same amount of goals as Benny, but playing for QPR. He'd be a massive hit at AVFC!

Does anyone know what is happening with takeover or if that is dead when leaner is setting down and getting a new chairman like he said??

The exclusivity period finishes today so it is either off or the announcement is today.

No statement as come from Lerner that I know of, I feel sure that Lerner would of released a statement by now if talks had indeed broken down. That's why I believe that talks are still on going and that we will hear something before the new season. Lerner never uses his managers to pass on messages and if he has news to tell he usually does by way of a press release. Just an opinion of mine and I am certain that others have their own.

Agree4 Disagree0

I'm not sure the takeover is going to happen anymore, if it was I don't think FB and CB would have left maybe another season from them. I think the money TS has spent already has come from the sales of FB and CB I personally think we are going to have another season of thinking where are the next 3 points coming from. I really hope I'm wrong. UTV

Seen a few reports about over the last 12 hours linking us with babacar. I feel he would be a much better option than this oulare guy who has not done nothing yet. Only played 11 matches getting 1 goal. Babacar came into his own last season getting 20 in 40 so 1 in 2. He would be a great cheap option costing about 8 million and I also like martial who we have inquired about.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

20 Jul 2015 15:37:01
Martial and embolo for me would be 2 good signings young talented good eye for goal!!

Keep seeing reports saying adebayor is top priority after benteke leaves, is it just me because i really don't want this to happen! There surely must be some other hungry strikers out there with age on their side!

Believable5 Unbelievable0

20 Jul 2015 07:35:29
Absolutely Shawtvilla, I don't think that Adebayor would be good for the team, I don't rate him that much and believe him to be lazy and well past his best so let's hope this don't come off. I'm sure there will be those who think differently but it's just my opinion.

Agree2 Disagree1

20 Jul 2015 11:33:28
Agreed. Given a choice I would greatly prefer Charlie Austin to Adebayor. One is a potential investment in the future, the other possibly only a one season gap filler.

Also seen an interview gueye has had, says "I wanted a change of scenery," he said. "The most important thing was to come to England to improve and aim for a big club later.

Im already pi**ed off with the guy, another money grabber has come to our great club!
Cant wait for lerner to go then maybe we will finally regain our status as one of the big dogs in the league and players will want to come here and not be persuaded!

I reckon his comments may have been taken out of proportion by the media , but if true then really it should push him on to give his all for our club which may lead to a high consistant rate of energy and hopefully quality.
