Too easy.

Oh dear, he beat Benteke.

Wolfsburg-Dortmund DFB Pokal final in 10.

and there is the third.

Benteke on strike now for Villa, deliberately sabotaging any chance of a comeback. What happens in 2 years when Real Madrid come knocking, will he do that to us?

Benteke showing his usefulness at defending set pieces. Would fit right in.

£32.5 million

Couldn't have looked any worse today.

Trying to drive his price down

spider-neil · « **Reply #408 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:51:15 pm »

People saying Benteke will do better with the service we give him, we left Sturridge isolated for long periods. Benteke is completely the wrong striker to be buying. It's fucking obvious.

clinical · « **Reply #409 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:51:16 pm »

Its a shame villa don't have a £32m striker to change the game for them

please, I have my reasons for it but... · « **Reply #410 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:51:20 pm »

How is ~~Heskey~~ Benteke doing? 32.5 million we're willing to waste on this lad.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #411 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:51:30 pm »

Oh behave. I think I hate this argument (well, whine) more than anything else on the forum. Exactly the same was said after they beat us 0-1 in September and they didn't even have to play at all well to do so. They lost about six on the bounce after that. They've never been any good; they finished 17th. Only ourselves to blame for being utterly wank whether it's against Villa, Stoke or anyone else.

Yes, that this is the same club that played us off the park says a lot more about how poor we are than anything, possibly final nail in the excuses for us coffin

Michel · « **Reply #413 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:52:37 pm »

I hope a Sheikh buys Aston Villa this summer and keeps Benteke there with a 200K contract.

Good. Hope they score 5.

Benteke looks the antithesis of Sturridge.

Bunter · « **Reply #416 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:53:14 pm »

This game shows why we need a mobile striker who'll run onto the ball and why certainly don't need another lazy fucker that barely moves and drops deep.

£32m... It's bordering on deranged.

Father Ted · « **Reply #417 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:53:34 pm »

Villa have been woeful.

plura · « **Reply #418 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:53:38 pm »

Don't understand why Grealish is still on the pitch, hasn't done anything right, not the best for a young player either.

turkish kopite · « **Reply #419 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:54:05 pm »

Villa will be at EL next season?

Reese · « **Reply #420 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:54:09 pm »

To everyone talking about how Arsenal is better in every position on the pitch, were we saying that last season?

C'mon now, yeah some players have changed, but as a whole, more is still the same.

No doubt they are class, and I'm as frustrated as everyone else by our crappy season, but there is plenty more context to that statement.

Per the game, good to see we will have a full and proper pre-season. No excuses from anyone going into next year.

Nah we go straight into the EL, and Southampton gets to qualify - thanks to this result.

I think we'll see a much better Ozil once the FA allow him to play without cement in his boots. He runs like a fucking slug with asthma.

No, due to a rule change, Southampton will

32.5 million for that? No thanks.

Oh well, at least we don't have to play EL qualifiers! Silver linings and all that.

clinical · « **Reply #428 on:** May 30, 2015, 06:55:44 pm »

Not quite sure the surprise at this benteke performance. He's not drogba. He's bang average. Yeah he has the odd brilliant game. But mostly bang average.

Fair enough to support your team and be hopeful, but name one of our players that would get into this current Arsenal team bar Sakho or a fit Sturridge, cos I can't...

Not sure if your including Sanchez in that but Sanchez over Sturridge any day.

Agreed, but I was comparing Alexis to Coutinho

They're probably hoping he'll do something useful like his great grandad did in 1905, except that they actually won that final!

I wonder if his agent said 'Christian if you want your move there, just play like someone they signed. Play like Balotelli.'

I was mistaken, he didn't score, but he did play. He's only 19, though, he'll probably get more finals in his career.

He gets into the France side ahead of Koscielny pretty much every game, I don't see why he couldn't.
