Maths.
Maths and football transfers really don't go together though do they
Maths.
Could have been possible if we didn't sign paulinho. 17 million plus the 10 million we were going to spend on villa.
If we didn't blow 17 million on a midfielder we didn't really need we might be able to afford him. Gary hooper anyone?
Paulinho is a good player, but wasn't a priority. That 17 million could have been topped up to fund the Leandro,saldado or benteke signings. Does anyone believe we'll spend more than 20 million on a striker now?
Can anyone else see us spending more than 17 million on a top striker? Was paulinho a priority with dembele and sandro coming back?
Doubt it mate. I'll eat my hat if we spend more than 17 million on a striker.

Theres some proper nut-jobs on this Villa thread: http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/9216-christian-benteke/page-443
It's almost as if they've forgotten that they finished 15th last season.

A bit off topic but who's that in your avatar?
It's a certain Ms Emma Stone, don't even need to check, CJ's had a couple of different pics of her over the last 6 months
I'm not being wilfully malevolent here, but I wonder if someone like Dempsey might interest Villa ?

Agreed Clint, it's a big jump going from Villa an absolute goal scoring legend to Benteke who's had one good season in England. I'd rather activate Jovetic release clause at 27 mil lol but that aint happenin.
He's on high wages here reportedly too, not sure Villa are paying high these days.I'm not being wilfully malevolent here, but I wonder if someone like Dempsey might interest Villa ?
It's an interesting situation. I doubt Villa want a player on their books who wants to leave (unless their chairman does a Levy), but if they sell then they will want the deal to be done ASAP so they can pursue their own targets. This means that Levy has no choice but to go against form and pay up early. Will he try to use Benteke's transfer request to ease a couple million off his price tag, or will he finally bite the bullet and pay big for a striker?
