Eds, have noticed that there is EPL interest in both Eriksen and Alderweireld from Ajax. I know Ed002/008 have explained the Alderweireld situation very clearly but am intrigued if there is any interest from Spurs for Eriksen?
One of the Eds said a few months ago that it was unlikely but a lot of the top teams have already bought Attacking Midfielders ie BVB, Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona.
Can you see a bid from Spurs happening? {Ed002's Note - I suspect it might be rather too late. So I will say no.}

I think dembele can be more attacking this season as we now have paulinho. we don't need no more center mids, a striker and a left back is what we need. benteke or soldado would be nice,

Agree4 Disagree4

Id rather have Soldado then Benteke, Soldado has more experience and I believe will adapt to the prem league without much trouble.
So for me get him in plus another striker maybe that brazilian guy forgot his name Damaio I believe and maybe a creative player and were all good to challenge for honours.

Agree7 Disagree5

Benteke signs 4 year contract. with Villa supposedly.

Agree3 Disagree2

Suprise suprise. bentesky withdraws trnfer request. maybe no one wants a baby like him. yidade

Agree2 Disagree3

Seeing reports Benteke has signed a new deal with villa so he is out looks like its just soldado now

Agree4 Disagree1

Benteke has signed a new contract we can all breath a sigh of relief now : ) Watch the Villa fans come on and big him up after a week of slating him and calling him a Judas lol.

Agree3 Disagree3

Trust me with a good striker up front that can hold the ball up dembele create more assists. The amount of times he played the ball into ade feet but always lost control. I'd prefer soldado too but villa and benteke together would have been perfect what a shame

Agree4 Disagree0

Oooh Christian Benteke!
Enjoy Adebay-eeor! We have our Bentekkers - jog on spurs!

Agree6 Disagree6

So bentike used us a leverage to get a better deal. can't blame levy for that one, can't say i'm sorry dident get him as alan sugar would say another carlos kick a ball. barb

Agree3 Disagree3

Kinda glad this Benteke deal didn't happen but Levy needs to pull his finger out quick as availible strikers are thinning out rapidly. Just pay what's asked for Soldado & Damaio & stop stalling over 1 or 2 million. got to feeling that we'll just end up with Remy on deadline day.

Agree6 Disagree2

Jog on Villa boy, you enjoy your relegation battle you insecure Brummie pest.

Agree6 Disagree5

Just sign sign soldado, he is a better bet and more suited th the premiership than negrado, who city just bought.

Agree4 Disagree1

Agree fully with post. Why are we stalling. city signed Negredo for a reported £20 million and Jovetic for £ 21 million. I would have though they would be more expensive then Soldado? This smells of Levi p---ing around trying to save a few pounds. Surely a bid similar to Jovetic would be accepted! What is Baldini doing? Why is he not signing a striker for us? Starting to look very like last two transfer windows.

The Don

Agree4 Disagree2

Baldini is going to be the scapegoat, when levy won't sanction bids or is being his usual tight arse self an we end up shopping at last minute.com ending up with Dion Dublin he's got someone to take the blame!

Agree4 Disagree0

Soldado is good but don't say he is better fitted to the prem than Negredo, Negredo is built for the prem 6ft 1 and he is the one player I regret us not signing, he will be a massive success as city, he scored 25 goals in la liga last year and city will win the league with him and jovetic playing together

Agree2 Disagree6

Thank the lord benteke has signed a new villa deal, he would have been a massive flop had we payed 25 million for him.

Agree4 Disagree2

You were all bigging up Benteke the other
Day saying he's making the right decision
To leave villa. Now your all slaging him
Off saying he was never worth it
Typical spurs fans thinking your the best
But when bale leaves you'll be in trouble
Villa til I die

Agree3 Disagree5

Villa fan - you obviously wasn't reading the posts on this page as most fans were saying they didn't want him. It's funny how you missed the fact your fans were slagging him off and all of a sudden all is forgiven. He's staying at Villa move on to something else now please.

Agree4 Disagree0

Massive mercenary and if he has done this do you really want him at your club. I for one wouldn't

Agree2 Disagree0

having missed out on Benteke, Andy Carroll and now Danny Graham. Spurs are going to have to step up their efforts for a striker with an offer for Billy Sharp or maybe Pogrebnyak. running out of available options.

Agree1 Disagree1

Villa fan here and I am glad that benteke did not sign for you as I thought he may flop if he goes to you this season but If he has a good season again I think you will snap him up next year

Agree2 Disagree2

We won't be signing Benteke

Agree1 Disagree0

He is one dimensional and looked great in a hellishly poor Villa side. If Lambert can get the team playing again, there is a chance Villa might become a team again. When that happens, you watch how average Benteke suddenly looks.

Agree1 Disagree0

I'm glad we didn't pay an inflated price for Benteke, I don't think he's the striker we needed and I think he needs to be at a lower level PL team where he will get more time and space so Villa will keep a striker who should still get goals for them even if probably not as many as last season and we keep the money for a striker that can work against the tighter defences we face more who can function well with less time and space and carve chances

have we ever looked at atsu would be good cover in my opinion from what little I have seen of him and doesn't look to cost much

derbyshire dave

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Agree good cover but right now we need a striker not a winger

Agree1 Disagree0

I am sure at that price we could have both we don't need to be single minded i'm sure

Someone said that there was an outside chance we would make a bid for Jackson Martinez, any truth in that? can't image porto wanting to part with him. {Ed002's Note - Spurs are one of the clubs that has shown at least some interest in him, but the price they are looking for is significant.}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

More significant than benteke? {Ed002's Note - Porto will seek his full release clause of 40M euro but would likely need to settle for less. Two bids from Juventus were turned down and Napoli and Milan baulked at the asking price.}

Agree1 Disagree0

Just read at 7am Fri - paper talk that Spurs have upped bid for Soldado to £20m. Hope that's true!
