vandaq Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yeah but they have to pay a huge inflated fee if the sharks come in at january. Will be a big transfer so I think summer is the earliest. Hope at least it`s after the world cup so we bag some extra millions :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Like we found out with Bent, the fee gets super inflated in January.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2013 The only team I can see stupid enough to come in for him in Jan is Liverpool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradarmstrong_ Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Why would he leave halfway through a season? Would disrupt him in the build up for the world cup. An extra £100k a week and play in the Champions League maybe? He's young, the champions league isn't going away and he can earn all the money in the world in the next 10 years. There's no rush.

Shaw_nuff Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 There's going to be an auction for him in Jan I can see it now. Probably one of, if not the best player in Europe not playing in any European competition. There is more to life than Champion's league you know. Maybe I'm old school but to me the premier league is much more important than the CL. I don't see lower prem team players queueing round the block to sign for Celtic and they qualify each and every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 But it won't be Celtic sniffing will it? It'll be the biggest and best football teams in world football. Let's just hope he can keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2013 Cant believe he got booked today for getting booted in the face. Along with Tony's booking on Saturday proves we are really getting the shitty end of the stick with decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted August 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2013 Pity that much of the talk is about Benteke and his worth and when he will leave rather than enjoying the fact that he is currently a fantastic VILLA player. FFS just enjoy it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcgrathsknees Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Find me anyone who wouldn't jump ship for an extra £100k a week?! Champions League for me is a bit take or leave it, but as a player to play for Real Madrid/ PSG/ Bayern/ Manure should they come calling? Look at Bale. He is supposed to be a family man, well settled and in a love in with his manager. Benteke on the other hand has gone on strike and put in transfer requests and he's younger. I hope he stays. Let's not kid ourselves if the moolah is offered to him he won't be off(ski). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcgrathsknees Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Matt Letissier didn't go on strike or put a transfer request in though! We are clutching at straws here! Lets get to September and then let's all have a Bentekkers disco until 2014! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw_nuff Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 No, you asked for an example of someone who didn't jump ship for money and i gave you one, People band wages around and say that you can 'never earn too much'. Well, I am lucky enough to earn way over the average wage (nothing like a prem footballer) and i turned down a job offer because I liked the one I was in. Money should actually be more important the less you earn, not the more you earn. Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm not sure I've ever seen a better player in a Villa top. And by better I mean potential to be described as world class in years to come. Lets enjoy him while we have him for now and just hope that the unthinkable happens and we get in a position by the end of this season where he won't want to leave to further his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I asked somone who wouldn't jump ship for an extra £100k per week Now if you turned down an extra £5,000,000 p/a I salute you. I don't believe for one minute you did! Just saying.

No doubt he will go some day but personally I prefer to discuss his exploits as a Villa player rather than constantly harping on about what he is worth and who will buy him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
