Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[pauliewalnuts]

If Benteke does go it'll leave such a big and vital hole in our side that we can't afford gambles like Mario the Mad.  I'd rather we take say £20m of any fee and spend it on proven and dependable quality.

Agreed.

We'd be basically making the same mistake we've spent twelve months laughing at Liverpool for.

If Balotelli can't be fucked to turn in the odd decent performance at some of the clubs he's already got on his cv, what would he be like here?

Terrible idea.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Mario's one of those people who you can point at and chuckle, saying "Isn't it great there are still characters in the game". But only when  he's playing for someone else.

I hope we don't take anyone in exchance for Benteke.

N'Doye (Hull) or Diouf  (Stoke) if the price was good.

United being linked again, I'd die a happy man if I never saw another Villa player in a united shirt again

It will leave a big hole, but the likes of Swansea, Stoke and Southampton all finished in the top half  without having a striker anywhere near the quality of Benteke.  If he does go, we are unlikely to attract a player of similar quality, so we will need to spend the money on strengthening a number of areas and maybe try and compensate for losing his goals that way.

Still makes it more likely that we'll get the 32.5M for him.

Schadenfreude I think it is called.

I assume he's homesick as he looked good at the tip of West Ham's midfield and under normal circumstances shouldn't be dropping down a league.

agreed he did until Fat Sam moved him wide again so he could lump it into whoever their strikers were....still a spineless weasel though..
