Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[ADVILLAFAN]

I think we should seriously think about selling Benteke to Liverpool. Based on their previous transfer dealings we could get 200M for him.

I'm wondering has (last Saturday aside) our recent up turn in form proved too much for certain supporters. CB is contracted to Villa yet they seem desperate to sell him rather than build a team around him.

'Twas ever thus.

People need to remember just how many times he has dragged us out of the shit on his own. We do not need another 3 10m strikers...he is worth so much more than 30m to us

[mr underhill]

agreed but the chances of hanging on to him beyond the end of the season look infinitesimal to me and I wouldn't blame him at all for now wanting out. The one thing Lambert got spot on - apart from the initial signing  - was getting CB to pen an extended contract. Had he not done so, we would have been relegated by now. Benteke has (virtually) single headedly kept us afloat since 2012 and needs to test himself at CL level now.

The days of Liverpool clicking their fingers and the best players come running are over but they still don't accept it though. Even their best young player wants out yet to listen to them you'd think there was some kind of dark magic that has brainwashed Sterling's head. Nothing to do with the fact that he just might fancy a move to another club.

Sounds legit, Benteke only £10m more than Bolasie. Hold on..... £20m for Bolasie? Hahahahahahaha

Liverpool are preparing a £56.5m triple bid as Brendan Rodgers gets his summer rebuilding work underway, according to The Sun.

The Reds are looking to tie up deals for Christian Benteke, Danny Ings, and Yannick Bolasie.

They will reportedly bid £30m and £20m for Benteke

That will get them to the negotiating table at least.

If I start with Carroll transfer fee of £35M and look at differences between him and Christian I am comparing a thoroughbred Grand National winner to a cart pulling mule. So Liverpool how much do you think he is going to cost? £50M is not enough.

We should break the bank for Altidore.

Well he is rated as equal to Jermaine Defoe as part of swap deal plus he scored 8 goals in 5 matches however he's not suited to premier league. Danny Graham also isn't but who knows

Who knows what?

It occurs to me that, after we have beaten Arse, in the Cup, Villa will be in the Europa League, the consequences of which will surely have some bearing on our transfer activities and, possibly, the standard of player we can attract.................Godzvilla!

Danny Graham has raw talent, but he could do with some expert tuition from Jason Scotland.

A sloth in the box.

I don't want us to sell and agree he is worth much more than £30m.  But comparing his value to what are acknowledged disastrous transfers at hugely inflated fees hardly gives a reasonable indication to his worth does it?  Liverpool are hardly going to say "we were utter fuckwits with the Andy Carrol deal so lets offer double what anyone else would for Benteke" are they?

[mr underhill]

I'm not so  sure. Never underestimate any football club's propensity towards extreme fuckwittery

If they are prepared to pay £20m for Bolasie then it's fair to say they haven't learnt a thing.

I have watched a fair bit of Bolasie and whilst he is very skillful, his crossing is absolutely awful.
