Imagine how cheap he'd be. They'd have no choice but to let him go, especially since the owner wants to sell up anyway. Considering he signed a new contract last year it wouldn't surprise me if he had a release clause of some sort.

10-15 mil? Doable. Only worry would be that Villa hasn't scored in the past 6 games, think he's started most of them.

He's not getting the ball though mate. Can't score when you're just having it lumped at you every 5 minutes with no support. He'd be mint for us, with lamella eriksen walker rose chadli etc feeding him.
 
It's painful watching him playing in that Villa side, such a waste. He must be so frustrated. Still, can't see Levy dropping large money to land him especially with us still having Soldado and Ade here.

Done nothing for 18 months. Risky buy for me. Had 1 great season, fuck all since. Look at Lukaku at Everton, struggling like fuck.

We can make excuses he's not getting the ball etc, but Leicester are bottom and Ulloa still bags goals for them.

He's either not taking his chances, or not creating chances for himself. Sure they may be few and far between, but EVERY striker gets a couple chances a game.

Would I take him for anything up to £15m? Yes, if Ade left. Any more than that though and I'd question the price.

I got hauled in front of the headmaster a few months ago for suggesting Benteke would cost less than £30m btw, which would be a fucking ludicrous price to pay for him.

Whilst you do have a point, i think the fact than the entire villa team hasn't scored in 6 games or however long its been now says a lot. They are dogshit awful.
And to say he's done nothing is harsh. He was a threat against us, seem to remember him hitting the bar, and forcing saves.
 
Think it is very harsh to judge Benteke in that shower of shite at Villa. I thought he would be a perfect partner for Kane just a little while ago but the way Kane has blossomed in the 9 role I wouldn't want to push him back to the 10 role or wide.

On top of that he is really Villa's only hope of scoring goals so they would be mad to sell him
 
The only downside with Benteke in our lineup is that our crosses and corners then to be absolute shit in terms of quality. 1/2 his game would be completely rendered worthless because of our inability to put in a good cross.
