Also according to the link:

quote:

Tottenham are ready to give Aston Villa the pick of Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Scott Parker, Jake Livermore or Tom Huddlestone as part of any deal for Christian Benteke.


If there is any truth to that, one would assume Dempsey is also part of that list. Villa would not be a bad place for him.

Apparently Villa don't want a player swap in the Benteke deal, they just want money.

I would love Dempsey to Villa, but I dont see it happening.

Honestly why would Villa want a single one of those players? This is why I initially laughed at Tiny Tots going for him. Levy and Lerner are set up to fail in negotiations.

The price is £25m and no less. When Lerner says that, he means that.

The problem for Villa (and Benteke for that matter) is that the two clubs who are most interested in their player (Tottenham and Arsenal) are two of the worst clubs to negotiate with in the Prem.

Maybe one will splurge, but both will have to shatter their transfer records to get him.

I know Liverpool probably isn't on Benteke's list, but they are a club who have negotiated with Villa in the past and one who doesn't mind overpaying to get the player they want.
