Not a bad shout to be honest, but he'd want a fortune in wages.

Massive yes for Ramsey.

Not our money I’m afraid, if our filthy rich owners want to pay it then bring it on.

I think he’s goal scoring stats only slightly eclipse old Keinan.

He definitely can’t hold the ball up as well though.

Isn't he always injured? I may be confusing him with Wilshere, I tend to conflate the two.

knowing Villa our summer signings will be both Drinkwater and Lingard on 5 year contracts.


I’ve said before Lingard is absolutely nailed on to join us at sometime in his career

There’s been more pandemics in the last two years than goals between Benteke and Davis.

Do you not think much of Davis then?

Davis still may prove people wrong due to his age but Benteke has lost the plot since us.


I always take pleasure in seeing how shit he has become. At Villa he had the world at his feet; A team built around him, designed to play to his strengths, a fan base that adored him, he was playing well and was probably 12-18months away from a move to a genuine giant club (Liverpool were still also-rans at that point) But his greedy shit agent Kismet got pound signs in his eyes, got in Benteke's tiny ear and engineered that move for a pay-day, screwing both Benteke and Villa. He can jog on now, Villa are going to be too good for Benteke within 2years.

I don't like Liverpool a huge amount, as some may have noticed, but they've always been a huge draw, at least for most people on here's lifetimes.

I don’t really blame him for leaving. We should have been building a team around him to make us competitive, rather than relying on him to single-handedly save us from the drop every year.

We need to not make the same mistake with Grealish.

100% spot on.

We have now evolved, or re evolved however you spin it.

I wouldn’t want Benteke on principle even if he could bag us 10-15 goals.

I remember attending an Under 21 international at Villa Park some years ago between England and Wales and I had to ask someone with a programme who the Welsh midfielder was who was easily the best player on the pitch. It was Aaron Ramsey. A very good footballer but as has been said already, he's injury prone and on crazy wages.
