Benteke needs loving and that's what the Villa fans would do with him as we know his strengths.  It's a yes from me!

It’s a no from me, he’s earned (well not really) his money now and is chillaxing.

Therefore, he has a point to prove and is coming 'home'. No?

Doesn’t play like he proving any points. Let’s look to the present and future with our signings eh? Loved him but we got the best years and I don’t expect him to regain his drive.

The original rumour was in relation to a loan with the view to a permanent signing. If we had him on loan we could truly see whether he's just 'chillaxing' now or whether there's hope that we could bring out of him what we've had before.

If Smith wants to continue playing with a big ‘target’ man style, then it’s Mitrovic I want us to go after.

I wonder if we could get Snodgrass back.  I doubt it,  but his type would work for us, experienced, works hard, creates a fair bit and scores a few.  Seems to be first choice at Spam now though.

Mark Noble . Though thought unrealistic other day . Way he was getting upset yesterday he clearly needs to leave West Ham can come show the passion at the villa.
Sort of midfield general we need.

There is no way he is going to leave West Ham and I doubt him losing his temper means he needs to leave. He'll probably retire there and become a coach.

They said the same about JT over at Chelsea.

Think id rather have Gavin McCann than Mark Noble. He'd have more pace and he must be in his 40s now.

We can't take that chance. If we do and he is, we're fooked.

I was told about the Benteke thing yesterday, pretty reliable source too. Let’s see what transpires, however I’d take him for sure.

This is ITK without the actual saying of ITK

Let's just see shall we.
I mean Benteke wouldn't be all bad however I don't want him near the villa . And we have to question the scouting if this is  the deal and moving into a new decade it's a sorry state to be looking back at last loves.
Life has to go on. Admiring glances need to be for the players of today and not for yesterday.

Benteke return may be on the cards. Loan to buy (from what I’ve heard last night)

Wouldn't be the worst shout ever, Palace seem safe already and Bentekes next move if he doesn't start scoring goals soon is the MLS or China.

If we wanted to flex our bollocks and make a statement of intent then Carrasco from China. Still only 25 but on 150k a week.

He also has the EUROs coming up next summer. I can't see him getting near the Belgium side right now so a move may be on his mind.

the scouting is looking for strikers better than Wesley - which also means the recruits don't have to be too good...
