Aston Villa confirm striker Christian Benteke has submitted a transfer request and not travelled on the club's pre-season tour to Germany

Normally id put 2 and 2 together here with our interest then a request, but i think he will go spurs now they've missed out on a bargain in david villa

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Benteke+Lukaku=New Drogba?

i dont think Spurs will pay 25+ millions.

[BenIsLegend 475]

Woah, I did not see that coming. I saw a few rumours from unknown sources then BAM, BBC and Sky break the news

I hadn't actually thought of that, you make a good point :/

Can't see it myself - Spuds all over it...

Have to move to 4-4-2

Or we will prob get Benteke and loan Villa Lukaku (#mistake IMHO)

[Sovieticus 743]

Let's get another black beast with huge paynus. Everyone will be terrified.

Oh my... I'm about to touch myself with these news.

Benteke is a BEAST.

What the hell man.

[King11Didier 916]

Can't see this happening.Or maybe if we sell Torres or Ba.But then again we have 3 very good strikers which none of them like to be benched.We will wait and see.

Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke hands in transfer request

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Is he reliable? Can I start dancing?

Duncan castles is in no way reliable

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Its Spurs guys, im sure they want to offload Adebayor and get Benteke onboard...

Torres is a very good striker?

We could sell Ba for 8-12 milions.

Crazy idea, BUT who knows. May be he goes Dortmund and we get Leva at last!! They cant just let him go on free, while we still could pay 20-30m for him.

For Benteke to us think it is bad move - he is not add somethink, we need different type and level, not numbers.

[King11Didier 916]

No,he is 50 milions waste but I prefered the first definition.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Buy benteke who is pretty much Lukaku. So we would be buying a similar player to lukaku who would in some way get in the way of him.

I know it's a long season etc, but like goalkeepers there has to be a clear no. 1.

Now this isn't a problem with the likes of rooney as they are completely different players, and could even be played together. And offer completely different options.

He is a great player. And if we sign him then I will get behind it but I really don't see the need. Especially when he will be 25 mil +
