Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Reported elsewhere that Pulis is interested in him. Phew.

Good for him. Personalised number plates are for knobheads.

In fairness to Defoe my dad used to work for a children's hospice and Defoe visited one day. He said he was one of the most polite and friendly people they'd ever had visit and that he was amazing with the children.

Defoe is Ok. I had a five minute conversation with him last year when he was in the Black Country opening a clothes shop. He said 'Villa are a big club,very big' and he knew the year we won the European Cup. That surprised me!

He opened a foundation in St Lucia too. All paid for by himself. So at least he's putting his money to good use.  Came across as a well balanced person in an ITV programme a couple of years ago.

Did he mention if we were ever in for him?

PSG want Benteke apparently.

[mattjpa]

80k a week apparently! Unfuckingbelieveable. Hope their throwing in Altidore as a makeweight

Calling villakicks to the transfer thread, Villakicks to the transfer thread

we'd get top dollar from PSG

[Damo70]

I thought the cash flow had slowed, hence Falcao being at United.

He's on loan from Monaco isn't he?

Yes

Theres a lot of talk about Cavani being on his way out of PSG so it wouldn't surprise me if they were after Benteke.  I'd rather he went there than an english club.

Your right. I was getting Ibrahimovich/PSG and Falcao/Monaco mixed up. So they probably can afford Benteke.

It could be suicide to let him go in January, but PSG would pay big. All would then depend on whether we could get someone in, even on loan, that could weigh in with 7-8 goals between now and the end of the season, which is very unlikely.

No. I should have asked him though. Didn't think about it.

Yep, but if he was going I'd much rather he went there.

[Toronto Villa]

They paid £50m for David F Luiz. That makes Benteke worth £225-250m using the PSG exchange rate.
