Christian Benteke’s agent has spoken out today and said that Benteke’s future will be decided after the World Cup. The Benteke’s transfer saga looks likely to continue for the second summer in a row. Benteke did sign a new 4-year deal last summer but that was only after he handed in a transfer request.
It’s believed that if Benteke has a very good World Cup, Villa will have a real struggle in holding onto their key player. But the same can be said if he fails to feature at all, Benteke may decide that he needs to move in order to break into the Belgium team. The best case scenario for Aston Villa is for Benteke to play a handful of games but never impress to the extent that would see the likes of Liverpool, Atletico and AC Milan interested.
“He wants to get ready for the World Cup. For the future, there is time. Currently it is too early to talk about it.” – Eric Kismet
This season he has failed to achieve the same standard that was set from last season. So far Benteke has scored 10 goals in the Premier League, that 9 short of last years tally. I’m still hopeful that Benteke will stay, and honestly I think he will, but fans will certainly go through another transfer saga. But I’m sure that we’ve all gotten used to them by now!
Complete bollocks, he’s under contract so it the club that will decide his future.
I think he’ll struggle at a so called ‘bigger’ club.
He won’t get time to correct his form, if he doesn’t hit the ground running then he will most likely find himself sat on the bench waiting for another chance.
The grass isn’t always greener and I firmly believe once this season is done and dusted & the last of the useless players are off our wage bill, we’ll start to see some real progress next season.
Since he’s been at the clubs his future has always been in doubt so you can’t say this is nothing new.i strongly feel he’s gone after the wc im just waiting to see how much of his fee will be re-invested into the squad.if a players mind is elsewhere then go.as already mentioned is the grass always greener?
benteke with better players around him, more decent service will improve to a higher level. the guy uses clubs like stepping stones to get to were he can earn the most, his agent needs 2 feed his family.but its not all shit ~ with his sale we might be able to improve our squad if finances are released to the manager (who ever u guys want)
that is the big picture 🙂 we buy shit improve um, hopeful have um flurish for us or not sell um with profit.and go again
The chances of Mr Benteke pulling on a Claret and Blue shirt next season are remote at best, I believe that was always the deal when he signed his new improved contract at the beginning of this season, it suited all parties.
Villa got his services for another season, Tekkers got more wonga and first team football in order to secure his world cup place.
If he has good world cup Villa will be asking top dollar for him , not so good we’ll still treble our money but the question is, how wisely will we spend it?
Whatever will be will be. We should get a decent amount for him. He may well struggle elsewhere he may not, once he leaves Villa then it is no concern to me. Villa have been around for over 100 years and Benteke has featured in 2 of them. If he goes fairplay and if he stays fairplay but Villa will be around long after Benteke has kicked his last ball
True but it underlines the fact we a small selling club with no ambition
well this site can kiss my ass~ i typed two responses to what i consider garbage. my views may have been deleted, all because i don’t share most of your cynical views. wouldn’t be a surprise if most were bluenoses, views like those questioning a player like gabby agbonlahor who is mr aston villa. supporters support not constantly bad mouth the club. i will waste my free time in some other stress free way. buen dia adios
Bye Nath, speak soon.
Nath, I can’t see where your comments have been deleted.
But you might want to do yourself a favour and stop posting under different usernames, as posters now need to have a previously approved reply before they can reply freely.
Thank our resident dickhead poster, who consistently comes on to slag the site and it’s owners, without adding anything of use either way.
He either sees us as a threat, as another Villa site owner or is just one really sad bastard.
I’d say he’s definately the latter mate.utv

If Weizmann and Gabby fail to turn up again, BENTEKE will be firmly in Jones pocket!! Cmon Villa!!!
Am I imagining things or are there loads of empty seats at utd!!
they’re all queuing to fly the plane
Get In!!!
Get in there i bet we thump um.
Clarke is a Skrill player……at best
And that’s typical Villa. Allowing any cross in, Rooney wide open, Bertrand just standing there. Pathetic.
Bertrand is complete wank no better than Bennett ffs
Must have been out of your comfort zone with Villa leading briefly Andrew.
Hopefully a few goals for the home side will let you moan to your heart’s content later.
Not at all. I was incredibly happy, but that was pitiful defending, would that not be considered typical Villa leaving a man wide open after scoring?
Bertrand is a right back, who had to watch Ashley Young.
Vlaar shouldn’t have been going to the man crossing the ball, that’s a midfielder’s job, that left Clark with two.
Left back even ! Young is right wing.
exactly right this is what vlaar was doing last season he didnt know whether to stick or twist
We will never have a better chance than today to beat them they are crap
Can’t blame Bertrand, we have 2 centre halves to pick him up, and Clarke was in no mans land
So we can’t blame both? Clark was clearly way out of position but Bertrand stood there, and could clearly see Clark wasn’t near him. Should’ve known better, no?
How the fuck are we losing to that bunch of shit. It’s embarrassing they are in first gear saving themselves for bayern, no Rvp, no carrick no vierra no Ferdinand and we still still can’t beat them. The lambert apologists will be on later saying we played well fuck that who wants to be an unlucky loser. Defending appalling for both goals how can we leave their best player completely unmarked ffs. Bacuna is never a right back even dean Saunders said as much last week. Weimann and cb complete waste of space all cb has done is shrug vidic of the ball big wow. Gabby crap. Same old villa totally bottling it v utd yet again
No, us apologists say it how it is, good when good, bad when bad. Its only you negatives who have a one dimensional view. Bentekes won 5 flick ons yet there’s nobody near him. The few times he has had it at his feet he has done OK. Stop blaming the same people and stating the same wrong rubbish week in week out and actually come out with something useful.
Exactly why the useless twat is still here fans like you supporting him when he’s done no better than mclown bet u were the first to hound mcclown out
What were u saying about Benteke my gran would of scored that
I gave you facts….then he missed that sitter….then a perfect backheel led to another chance. You’re a massive twat ooah. Have no footy knowledge except that you win lose or draw, all of which make you miserable. Get in, a 3rd goal, that should make you happy and give you something to fuel your miserable existence
Benteke Shoukd of had a Hatrick ffs. 3 sitters missed. Albrighton has played well that and west woods goal only highlights. Def all over the place again. Helenius u are a complete idiot if u think I would be happy to watch us concede. This is a piss poor result we should of got at least a draw. But that’s fine u spend your money on a st next season and watch another yr of this dross that’s ur prerogative. Me iv more sense.
No, because he had his mind on Young coming round the back. Had he gone to Rooney and the cross went deeper then ud blame him. Did the right thing. Clarke was in a terrible position. Tbf, ultimately Gabby has been at fault for both goals, slipped for the first and cheaply gave it away for the second. And why didn’t Bacuna dive for the block instead of tackling…..massive defensive error.
David James said vlaar was pulled out the middle when he should’ve been there. If he stayed where he was supposed to they wouldn’t have scored. Notice the errors are creeping bk into his game again ffs
Oh and Clark just basically stood there as well.
Fucking shite why do we switch off after the first 15mins.5-1 utd gd fucked again.
we are shite gabby gets a free disappears clarke makes his usual cock up super marc is he out there along with wiemanwhat have they all got in common they came through youth setup maybe its time to do away with it and save more money we neend a miracle benteke and maybe vlar are our only couple half decent players and they be gone after brazil we fluke against chelsea one halfagainst pool city and gunners need a new spine betrand can go back to chelsea no better than luna or bennet and never thought i would say that
We shouldn’t be losing to this utd team take Rooney out and they’ve got fuck all
super boy delph stopped tracking back leaving clarke with the two best players to mark exactly the same mistakes for the last two years we cant afford gabby to stand on the half way line hes a passenger for to long in a game
Missed chances now we’re fucked.
Well done villa another 4.1 hammering from a shite team lamberk fuck u useless TWAT!
-12 goad difference, nice one lads! Well done, good show
Don’t worry Lerner and lamberk apologists like Lerner will be having a wank fest that we beat them 1.0 in the first 15 mins!!
