I think when it comes to big money signings Levy time is no goer.
Indeed. Modric, Paulinho, Bent, Bentley, .....all in the 15-17 million bracket, our record fees, never have been conducted on deadline day.

Side note: The guy these Tweets came from looks like a total douche.
hey mate, seeing as how you have sources/insider info with villa and yet know about this forum/share knowledge here when it pertains to THFC, i assume you're really in touch with the forum scene. Are there any sites/forums like this one, but for Villa? I'd be interested to see what their fans/ITK's are saying about Benteke's potential transfer.he will say the lads had his head turned. and we all know what goes on behind a clubs back whether right or wrong.
he will say that there has been no offer.

I'm quite surprised Arsenal still haven't stepped in yet, they wont get far with Suarez
I'm not. They have Giroud. I'm sure they're expecting him to do better this season and I reckon they're after a more agile fox in the box type as opposed to a power house, leading the line type...which Giroud is suppose to sort of be anyway.
That's my opinion anyway.
That's why Suarez is an ideal fit for that side but still can't see that coming to fruition.
Rooney more likely unless Mourinho really goes in hard for him.
If they ended up with Suarez they would be right in the title hunt. Although it would be a perfect marriage in a lot of other ways....

And Berbatov. And it wasn't a similarly large pile of money, but in terms of quality and career-stage, Vertonghen.
There are really two kinds of Levy deals. A good deal that's only available for a short period, while the player is still a bit under the radar, and a deal that isn't a good one until it's the other side has been ground down. Most of our really strategic signings have been the first kind.
It seems like there's a third kind of deal emerging as well - the release clause. I've been impressed with the way we've moved quickly to bring in players like Dembele and Paulinho when the selling club is pretty much taken out of the equation.

like i said last week...i think Benteke may take some time to resolve
Jason Burt @JBurtTelegraph
he wants to join #THFC but #AVFC are adamant they won't lower £25-30m valuation. May take some time to resolve..
Chris Hannaway @chrishannaway
@JBurtTelegraph Bernard/Chadli/Lamela?
Jason Burt @JBurtTelegraph
Lamela's on the list. Whether it happens, I'm not sure.
Jason Burt @JBurtTelegraph
I suspect Chadli most likely at this stage..
Chris Hannaway @chrishannaway
@JBurtTelegraph Appears to be Plan A = Villa + Bernard Plan B = Benteke + Chadli...
Jason Burt @JBurtTelegraph
Not quite, I think. There is still an alternative to all of that but don't ask! But I think Villa was certainly wanted..
Come on, why are we taking so long to get this done? The boy wants to come, all we have to do is put up the money before the big boys step in and take him from right under our noses. If he does join us I reckon people will soon realise this lad is better than they actually think. He'll be a star here of that I'm sure. Come on levy, get it done!
Supporters on Villa talk wondering why he finds Spurs a more attractive club than Villa
