Wasn't it said that Benteke's contract doesn't have sell on clause. No, do Genk have a sell on clause is what was asked, i.e. they get £3m if we sell for £30m if it's at 10%. It wouldn't be in Benteke's contract, it would've been part of the "fee" we paid to Genk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 'I think that paying more than 7m really is very expensive. It represents business of the century for Genk.... Aston Villa are mad' This is great. Wonder what they think of him now.....and us for that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgian guy posted an article from his home land that confirmed it existence using a funny looking word I remember the post believing there was a sell-on cause, although it wasn't officially confirmed. Also the sell-on percentage or figure wasn't stated which is kind of important! 5% or a maximum of £2m? Pah, peanuts! 25% without a maximum? That's a lot to give up! Even when CB is sold, there's a chance the exact figures won't be confirmed, so there's probably little point in guessing anyway. I just hope a club doesn't meet his value to Villa next summer. I can't see it but it happened this summer and another season would be great for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Well yeah, that was sort of the point I was making. It could go two ways. he could carry on missing sitters all season, or he could start to bury a few and get some goals. I think (or maybe it's hope) it'll be the latter. I guess we can only wait and see. I'd agree with Mike that he should be brought off the bench for now rather than Bent though. I completely agree. I play sunday league - I reckon my positional play is also decent... doesn't mean I can score goals against premiership keepers if I was given the chance. He has potential but his decision making has been terrible at times and finishing has also been poor. He will be doing well to get 10 goals in the league. You can quote me at the end of the season! Ideal impact player though. He's like a good Emile Heskey in a way. But good. And with potential. If we're on old post watch Around page 64 is where Benteke was having a bit of a rough patch at the start. Some comments are a tiny bit premature but tbf we've all made harsh and overreactive calls on this forum at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Scotland v Belgium: Russell Martin relishes Christian Benteke tussle http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23953673 While Martin was dropped to the Norwich bench for Saturday's 1-0 win over Southampton, Benteke has continued his promise of last season by scoring four goals in as many games for Aston Villa this term. "There's a lot of good strikers in the Premier League, but at this minute in time he's probably right up there with the best strikers in Europe," said the Norwich defender. "He is a world-class player and he's a physical player as well." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Time to remove Russell Martin from your fantasy league teams if you have him, 'tussling' with Benteke is never a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Time to remove Russell Martin from your fantasy league teams if you have him, 'tussling' with Benteke is never a good idea. Thanks for the warning! Anyway, I can remember the wise words of a Blose workmate the day after his debut last season, "he looks shit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
