Spurs want Benteke!

The Villa fans have been awfully quiet on this article today, which is weird seeing how vocal they were on the subject before.

Not in the mood for chat Chicken

Sorry Andy Grays

No point keeping a player who doesn't want to stay e.g. Modric, same for Benteke, if he asked to leave then hewill drop his performances if he is forced to stay or priced out of a move. The reson i don't think the same applies to Bale as there is not a single quote from the player that he wants out, in fact it's the opposite, he only praises the club for what they have done for him and how he is happy.

I rushed writing the above, hence the spelling and broken sentences, i think you all understand what point i'm making

Full back

I agree to a degree but some players have performed after wanting to leave their respective club, including Modric, Ronaldo, Fabregas and i think even Henry.

Its a dangerous game trying to force them to stay because whilst there has been "professionals" like the names i mention above, you can always get a "Berbatov" scenario where the player goes on strike - then your club has problems.

I agree Chicken, i guess it depends on the player, not looking promising for Villa at the moment though from the quotes i've read.

Spurs are very fortunate that everything seems to align with Bale.

Happy to be around his family relations, and in his personal life. A sweet spot in his age where barring career-ending injury, he still has plenty of time to move upwards if he is looking for a lot more money and/or winners medals as a club player.

Sad that Benteke is not similarly at peace with his current lot.

Bumble,

Benteke will probably leave after next season to a Champions League Club and that certainly won't be Spurs.

===================

What do you make of the Benteke's (alleged) comments that he would prefer a move to Spurs?
