Sure, our wingers aint perfect (still easily good enough for top half of the prem though imo), but having the likes of Gayle, Campbell, Bamford, McAarthur, Jedi and Cabaye to aim at doesnt exactly install confidence...and now we have Townsend to add more quality from out wide, Benteke would be a PHENOMENAL signing and certainly better than the other Belgium bloke who's TOTALLY unproven.

Honestly clueless Beggars belief doesn't it , quite clearly these Mongs weren't around to witness , adebola , akinbiyi , John , Andrews etc , even last season benteke averaged a goal every 169 mins , only 5 players can better that , aguero , Kane , vardy , giroud and Carroll.

Throw in Campbell too...as it seems they've binned off our offer Edited by thechaddyboy (01 Jul 2016 10.38pm) Article makes me laugh 'will we have enough in the kitty having spent big already'? We've spent a net £5m so far if you believe the numbers quoted. I think there might be a bit of shrapnel left to buy one or two more. Blimey, they're the ones who've just shelled out £35m on Mane and need to recoup. Great the be linked with Benteke and I think he would be a great signing if he can rediscover his Villa firm, but what does it mean for Wickham? Aren't they a bit too similar and we need more of a poacher?

Goals per minutes played? You forgot Gayle.

Transfertalk has always got some odd people who learn from FIFA or from MOTD alone. Benteke is CLEARLY a massive upgrade on what we have. Yes, the money seems a lot, but why do we - as fans - care about that? We're not in it for the business as fans and I am very certain that Parish and co know that they can afford it. I think this one's going to happen. We'll probably get him for like £28million. Annoyingly, the Batshuayi bid being made pubic means that Liverpool know that we can afford £30mill. What an amazing window so far! But... where the hell is this money coming from? Are the Yanks putting money in? I'm fully expecting Bolasie to be sold

More than paper talk, it now seems. Are you sure, Palace? From what I've seen from Scousers, he's been crap!

Are you criticising me? Heaven forfend. Originally posted by ItsCPFCforme You mean my statement about him being 'clearly better than what we have'?
Yeeeeeeeeeeees.. Originally posted by ItsCPFCforme I'd say that 1 goal every 2 games, plus his form for Villa, is more than arguing from a position of ignorance;
I think you should look up what "argumentum ad ignorantiam" means. Originally posted by ItsCPFCforme Also, there's ALWAYS..
Don't shout. Originally posted by ItsCPFCforme ..a risk when you a sign a player. If you don't sign a player simply because you don't KNOW..
I said don't shout. Originally posted by ItsCPFCforme ..100% that they'll shine you'll never bloody sign anyone!
So you finally admit it - you don't actually know that he's "clearly better than what we have", do you. Originally posted by ItsCPFCforme If you're referring to my statement concerning MOTD and FIFA, heard of hyperbole and figurative language?
Have you heard of figurative sign language? Keep taking your tablets.

As yet, nothing has been proven with regards to whether he is better than what we have. Reasonable. Originally posted by shockhorror But... He does have a better record and reputation.
Eh? You mean the media/agent hype? What are you talking about? A better reputation? Not in Liverpool he doesn't. Originally posted by shockhorror He is an international player and commands a high transfer fee.
And? You base your assessment on such things? For real? Because the hype says so? He must be good because he's expensive and an international? Originally posted by shockhorror So I'd be tempted to agree that he is better than anything we have at the moment. In my opinion he's better than anything we've had for a long while. I personally think get it done and just add the extra 5 mil on.
Spoken like a true scummer. (Well.. you do live in Totton). *wink emoticon*

that makes him better than any of the forwards we have apart from Wickham and could give cause to worry from visiting defences with the brilliant service from our wingers. All images and text on this site are copyright © 1999-2025 The Holmesdale Online, unless otherwise stated.
