We have enquired about benteke. We were quoted 28 mill!

Now if we can negotiate it down then the deal is a gooer.

as I said previously spurs were well aware villa was joining athletico so there are other irons in the fire.

what I find amusing is that benteke is not that good. He has potential but there is a lot of imorovement needed.

28mill!!! Far far too much, something between 15-20 mill would be more reasonable. Do you know if the soldado links are true mate?

look like, 28 million is way to much as you know but i can understand Villa wanting the best price. Let's be honest, no one will pay that for Benteke but let's hope we can get a decent deal.

Several reports saying Benteke prefers us

I've been saying all along he's too expensive while many others on here have been saying no more than £20m. They got that much from Liverpool for downing ffs, before they had reduced their wage bill. He's had a good season but he's hardly Torres in his early Liverpool days is he?

Spurs are not the only interested party. With exception of the bizarre Carrol transfer, it may cause a bidding war. With a come get me being issued, Villa will be able to play the clubs off against each other and force the price up. It that case it'll probably be between liverpool and Chelsea if reprts are correct.

As long as Villa don't let it string it out til the end of August, that will be good business.

Only spurs fans are saying 20m or swap deals.

25m in the current market considering the number of clubs with their hats in would be a bargain. The latest rumours are that Villa are squeezing the price closer to 30m.
