Disappointing as we are only 196 pages in to this thread. I'm sure McCormack one was longer.

So let's get this straight Daily Star.
They've offered less money than we did (and Liverpool rejected it because it wasn't enough), and a player in his prime is going to leave a country he's been living in for the last 3+ years to play in a poor league in a country with serious security concerns. Why do people even read this utter &#128002;&#128169;?

Not SP's fault at all. Liverpool stuck a valuation on Benteke thinking that every team in Europe would sniff around - not a team in the premier league. We've met that valuation, and Liverpool have stalled and fcuked about waiting for a foreign team to come in, as they know we always perform against them and they don't want him potentially costing them points in the future. Ask anyone, even their own fans, Liverpool are an absolutely horrendous club to do business with.

Because either of those two waited until the club was on breaking point to get the cheapest deal possible and then use the club as a revnue stream once in the top league....

if we offered the valuation we would have him now
offering 25 million upfront when they wanted 32.5 is trying to wheel a deal
if we were going to pay that for batsuyai, ( whatever the spelling) over 31 million , is a joke

That's more like it ...and it will cost whichever club blinks first in excess of £25 million!

It will be interesting to see how Alan Pardew reacts when he finds, he is not being backed up properly by his management. i do not think he will do a Pulils, but i think he may realise, that even after getting close in the FA Cup, and problems with strikers last year. his boss has not come in for him, especially if the deal of a life time with Benteke is taken out of our grasp

Parrish, i know you are looking after the coppers, but we have Amercian Investment now.
Also while we are at it wheres the Stadium update plans?

I hope its right
But it highlights problems in our recruitment policies, and how we conduct them
and why we look so tight, when we have the US funds onboard

i genuinely feel embarrassed for us

The biggest mistake was selling Gayle without a replacement. That was stupid.

But, the utter rubbish people are spouting now is cringeworthy. Do the club want strikers? Yes. Have they put bids in for strikers? Yes. Did one reject us and go to Chelsea? Yes. Are all other clubs struggling to get strikers through the door? Yes. Will we get a striker or two before the window shuts? Yes.

The key is patience. It's a sellers market at the minute. Not sure we'll get a Benteke but we will, I'm sure get someone who'll be better than what we have now.

At last, somebody who has some. We're not shopping for a pint of milk.

Benteke won't go until the last day of the window, when Liverpool realise nobody will pay there valuation of the player and they will need to take what they can get and hopefully our offer will be accepted by club and player.

Would be good if we can get someone else in before then, but if not Wickham is very capable of doing the job - the worrying starts if he gets injured.

But plus which as things stand we really only have the option of one-up-top.

Looks like Bacca is on his way to west ham so they'll drop their interest in rival targets, with them out of the way it makes us landing either of Benteke or Berahinho a lot more likely.

This is my worry regarding the lack of striker options. We must get points on the board in our first six games.

I hope we don't leave it until deadline day to bring in a striker or we could well end up having to play catch up.

As much as I have faith in our board I sincerly hope they have got irons in the fire,
