The only reason he has signed a new contract is because no club bid for him.

Do you think he's got a pay rise?

he has probably got a pay rise i should imagine, but if he is of more use to you as a player than selling then all good as far as being a villa fan is concerned.

he might have had a clause put in that he will leave for a cl club or something for a certain amount, but worry about that if it is true or happens.

he would have been perfect for Spurs.

Ah well, their loss is your gain.

Congratulations

Tbh, i will take Benteke over ROONEY and i know i will get slaughtered for it.

What a stupid comment.

How did Levy or anybody from our club tapped him up?

Was Benteke ever mentioned by any member of our staff?

Were we interested? Yes, probably like 10 other clubs but we didn't tap him up.

We were looking fowards to a good season this coming year. Now we're looking forwards to an even better one. Things are back on track.

Hope there's no backlash against Benteke. I don't think there will be. It's time to move on.

helenius looks a quality striker too... at least we have some strength up front with weimann, benteke, helenius.. agbohnlahor too (Who should play more up front imo)

Whatever are the tabloids going to write about now? They practically had him already in a Spurs shirt.

Happy boy now he has got his pay rise, the money must be good to put up with the misery of playing for Villa

Spurs had to offer 25m. A bargain in this market for centre forward capable of scoring 20+ goals.

They have been a small club for so long they keep looking at their transfer records and saying, were not going to break our transfer record for that player.

Half the prem have higher transfer records than Spurs.

They can't see beyond their own little world.
