jacketspuds Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I do hope we can shift one or both of bent or Ireland Agreed. Though I think Ireland will definitely go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Sounds like he's coming now tbh. "I wanted to go to England and now I have the chance - so let's see." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 After all the doubts, if we really can pull this off I'd say its easily our biggest coup in years. Let us pray! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 If he thinks there is a big decision to make between them and us then there is something badly wrong. Does this not set off alarm bells with some of you? Thats if there is any truth in it in the first place, which i personally believe there is. I no longer want him here, he has a chance to improve himself further in the prem and he's not sure about it? I think that's a bit of a strong stance to take at this stage.we have no idea of the ins and outs of this deal. Al Jazeera could have offered him all the money in the world and he might be waiting for Villa to agree terms. he has only simply acknowledged Al Jazeera.its not as if he has said anything positive about them in the slightest.in fact all of his talk is about how much he wants to play in the premier league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Starting to look like this will happen...didn't Kendrick say there was a big signing still to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Got a funny feeling it isn't us.... Wish it was though! Would be the icing on a cake if we can land him this early into the transfer window to give him a decent pre-season. There may even be a cherry to follow....!!! Wowsa...

harris21 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 You mean this?Pete Colley @petecolley33m Been off all week so heard nowt about Belhanda!! Reckon he could have a shocking nickname though....... Maybe he is hinting at NUFC and JK's possible mispronunciation of his name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah9AHU1EQno Belhanda is a very good player. I'd be ecstatic if we sign him. He is exactly the type of player we need behind our front 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Why all the denials then? Kendrick and Nursey would have normally been all over this. Be a kick in the nuts if it turns out to be Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 What would his wages be?id say they would be the highest we would have negotiated this summer £50k or so? I know he's not on a 'major wage' right now in France but I guess that doesn't have any relevance to what he will demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'd give him whatever wages Ireland is on then ship out Ireland to Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'd give him whatever wages Ireland is on then ship out Ireland to Stoke.trouble with that strategy is the actual getting rid of Ireland if not we're stuck with him and his extortionate wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I agree with one or two others that i don't think the Prem club involved is us..Newcastle would be a good call actually could see him being their kind of signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 we have been linked with him the most. Kiev and Al Jazeera were strongly linked the last few days but the Al Jazeera spokesmen said they hadn't bid but enquired only. Newcastle have come in late for him it seems.

HeyAnty Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Reason why i think it is us is because Bentekke will only sign an extension if we get at least one signing of the calibar of Belhanda. It does show ambition. On top of that i was told on Wednesday that there was a very good player coming in over the next few days. Dont think it was the norwich keeper either. Big jump i know in my belief, but hey ho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belhanda himself says that he now has the opportunity to play in the Prem which is where he wants to go. Its all a bit strange really but in regards to Newcastle, I really can't see Kinnear trying to sign him especially with the midfielders they have already.
