To damage his WC hopes that would only apply if he wanted to leave in Jan.........surely he will happily see out 1 season
(sods law he'll have banged in 25 goals by xmas.........a sort of good but bad sods law:lolbraineclipse

People are saying that he can't afford to go on a strike at Villa to force a move to us.

Thing is, why not?
He refuses to play for Villa during their first three games of the season.
Is he going to be shoved in the reserves? No. All he'll have to do is apologise and they'll play him. They can't afford not to play him. Their only other current option (as far as i know) is Bent.

We really need to get the ball rolling here
If the deal Benteke fails, what alternatives are there actually left in the market?
Negredo is set for Emirates Marketing Project
Damiao could be set for Napoli
Higuain is out of our reach - probably Soldado too
Right now I cant see many strikers available that would actually strengthen Spurs tbh

Yeah, quite likely that Villa will cave and bring him back into the squad once the window closes. But if that's what he wants then he's not really striking/refusing to play in the way that Tevez did or some other players have done. If everyone understands that as soon as the window closes and he doesn't get his move he'll come crawling back asking to play then it's not the same threat.
That means that if he does make that threat it will be seen as an empty bluff and carry little weight.

there is no need for Benteke to go on strike/not train....Villa have said they will listen to offers, and if someone meets their valuation he can go. All we have to do is meet the damn valuation.
come on Spurs get it done

Sorry...how (too) far ahead am i, thought people were talking of the berba and modders situations and benteke following a similar path (don't think he will do this at villa)..........imo this is gonna play out quite quickly (for levy anyway) so by next friday (26th) is my pick ..sweep stake anyone?

There's still more than 6 weeks to go. Remember how long we were negotiating about Ade with City last summer - practically the whole window.
As we started about £12m apart in valuation (£18m cf £30m), there's a lot of bartering to be done.

I'm hearing that we've offered £18m.

All the press when Benteke first put in his transfer request said £28m was their price. Burt last night then said £25-30m.

Absolutely, on both counts.
Clint gets goals, could play left wing forward in a 3. The guy shows guts and determination, and turned it around last season. It was playing with 10 when he first came but ended up being a valuable team member.
Benteke, well, it's better than what we have but I think we'd need to keep Ade and JD too.
