Woody1000 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Is it possible that his agent is just playing a blinder to squeeze another £20k-£40k pw on Benteke's new contract? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) What was he doing in Sutton Coldfield town centre anyway? I can't imagine it much of a shopping experience. i have no idea where that is tbh It's basically the biggest town near the training ground, it has most of the usual shops for a town centre. And Sutton Coldfield (mostly and arguably) is where many footballers and wealthier people live. Loads of AV players live or have lived a few minutes drive from where that photo was taken Most Villa players live here, as well as our former owner and President Emeritus (don't we know it!) You see a good lump of West Brom players around, as well as the odd Wolves one. I believe that both a former and the current England manager are still in residence. It has a Porsche dealership that appears to live off the back of footballer's desire to change their cars often. White Panameras and cheap second hand Cayennes are in abundance! And the town centre is crap! (I live at the poor end!) Edited July 18, 2013 by thetrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillakevBromsgrove Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 At the end of the day, if CB stays then there is no need to boo him, If he signs a new contract then great, means we can get more money for him next year, Pretty sure he is only doing what he was advised to do and does not see what he has done wrong, booing him especially before the end of the transfer window just encourages the media.

And the town centre is crap! (I live at the poor end!) Pretty much sums it up! I meant to say most but some are in stourbridge and newer ones get lodged at the mailbox and a few are dotted around brindley place. I used to see Carlos a fair bit on a friday around tesco five ways. Had a few chats with him. Met Angel at his house too. A friend lived at the house directly behind (aka gardens bordering) southgate or townsend, forget which. Maybe both over the years :S Anyway.. what he said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b23avfc Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 And yes... if yer man stays and plays his best then good. I won't boo the fool for his idiotic transfer request IF he stays and plays a blinder this season. He will have added pressure to perform if he stays and the WC year is great for us as it is further incentive for him to do so. His agent is probably just trying to maximise his own wealth and stomach line. And keep stretch trousers in business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I hope Spurs can find the money for him. It won't be the same cheering goals scored by a player who you know doesn't want to be here. I'd much rather be fully behind helenius or whoever Lambert brings in to replace Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakal Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thought the deadline was today too The deadline was never released, neither was the amount that we want. The Press Release from Brian Doogan said something to this effect: 'For Benteke to leave, we need to have our valuation met in a timeframe we have set'. "Having received his transfer request, we have also informed him that should we receive an offer within an appropriate timeframe during pre-season which meets our valuation we would act upon it. But he will remain a Villa player should this not happen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midian Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The thing what I dont get with the pic from him in Sutton and his agent being there is Villa fans know his agent Kismet (however we spell it) is the greedy 1 in all this so surely he wouldnt want to be seen with potential banter and unhappy Villa fans slagging him off but it appears he seems happy in the pic and not a care in the world.Maybe they have suceeded in there plan to get CB a bigger wage etc? Or I might be totally crazy and thinking with my head and not heart? I will be even more gutted if he goes now hes trained etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather be fully behind helenius or whoever Lambert brings in to replace Benteke. Wouldnt really bother me. It would mean he chanced his arm and it didnt come off. Players have behaved worse. I would sooner cheer his goals than see us relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Villa fans know his agent Kismet (however we spell it) is the greedy 1 in all this Do we? A lot of blame seems to be put on his agent. I'm sure Benteke is able to make his own decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Gonzalo Higuain has said Mourinho wants him at Chelsea. Jovetic already moved to City. Possibly more of a chance of Arsenal maybe wanting Benteke if their pursuit of Suarez doesn't work out now too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Imagine his agent was there to keep him out of trouble and ensure that he didn't say anything stupid. That said, it does all appear a little odd, logic tells you that on today of all days he'd keep his head down after training, instead he goes wandering around town. I am not going to suggest he should lock himself away but it just seems a strange decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Maybe Sylla took him out to show him Villa fans still liked him. But that would be a bit weird, there must be some kind of reason though, its not a normal kind of decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
