Christian Benteke

[NaijaSpurs]

I don't think Bale's strength is playing back to goal - not at all. Think him as the centre forward uses none of his strengths and exposes quite a few weaknesses

Now you are talking common sense

 

[NaijaSpurs]

I'd worry he'd be another Michael Ricketts. He looks raw and all brawn and little brain to me. I know the age difference but would prefer someone with a bit more guile so would rather see us spend similar money on Soldado.

So answer the questions - Who do you suggest we sign and how much do you suggest we sign them for?

He impressed me last season. Not only did he score 23 in 39 he made quite a few chances for them as well. I think at 22 he is a kid with a lot of potential and has much more quality than Ricketts ever did.

Caught offside say Arsenal closing in on Benteke for £22m.

though it is Caught Offside :lol:

 

[NaijaSpurs]

That is a lot of money

I know its trash paper talk but dont go anywhere near this clown for £25m, he's not even worth £15m

 

[superspurs]

I have no worries about his ability and the impact he'd have on our team.

But I'm also pretty bloody certain we won't spend £25m on him.

Mirror and Mail reporting more or less the same

I can see Levy and Villa haggle about the fee for the rest of the transfer window with the deal falling through in the last seconds

Please Levy - move away from this deal now

Not worth £25m imo

Problem is; the potential new striker list is shortening day by day

• Chelsea may have a chance if Romelu Lukaku is included

:ross:

Who do you suggest we sign?

GHod knows I dont know the market fully, but off the cuff I'd say Demba Ba.

 

[Kingdawson]

Defoe i don't think they would want but there is a possibility they would want Huddlestone, Livermore or Naughton so i don't believe a swap deal is not a possibility.

 

[superspurs]

GHod knows I dont know the market fully, but off the cuff I'd say Demba Ba.

I really do believe we will end up with Ba.

 

[Kingdawson]

I really do believe we will end up with Ba.

Osvaldo.

 

[tommysvr]

Chelsea might have a chance if they include Lukaku? Bloody hell, I'd be taking £15m and him and doing a runner if I were in charge of Villa.

 

[Baleforce]

I really do believe we will end up with Ba.

if we do its a guaranteed debut knee injury, career over

 

[Lemonade Money]

I'm guessing it's Lukaku on loan they are referring to

Belgian media are reporting that Benteke has rejected a switch to Liverpool

And that he does not feel ready for a club as big as Chelsea

He wants to go to Spurs

[NorwegianSpursFan]

This all sort of seem pre-planned... The day Villa signs for someone else, he submits a transfer request and aparently has got his sights set on us?

To me it seems like he (or more likely his agent) is just looking for another stepping stone, before moving to either his beloved Arsenal or one of the financially doped clubs. With every move comes another big windfall of money.
