Anyone else thinking this might be going tit's up?

Seems to be taking an awful long time to complete
and reports saying that the Spammers might be interested.

Looks like we may have rival for Benteke this morning.

Papers are reporting that West Ham are looking to offload Enner Valencia to fund a bid for Benteke.

 

eagle184 Flag Sutton 06 Jul 16 12.09pm

the twist is West Ham come in and highjack the deal

They've still got work to do by offloading Valencia.

I'd take Big Andy Carroll if they want Benteke.

Hopefully if this does go tits up we haven't put all our eggs in one basket and have identified a couple of alternatives!

Or is that wishful thinking?

Yep. The West Ham rumours seem a little odd to me... wouldn't surprise me if it was planted by a Liverpool-connected source to force our arm.

Another 'sick note'. No thanks.

He's a great player no doubt about it but he's far too injury prone to take a multi million pound chance on

Well given this already was our alternative after Batshuayi then we might not have identified too many other targets yet.

These massive transfers don't always happen quickly. Pretty sure when he went to Villa it took a while and obviously £30 million is a ton of dough to work out !

The Tomkins deal took a while from the first announcement and that is a comparatively small fee and there may be other issues with his wages. Cabaye may well have a clause in his contract guaranteeing him being the top earner for instance. I really hope this happens but it could still be a while.

Also to alleviate the Spammers link...

None of us know the full details of this transfer so personally i trust the board are doing all they can in getting this deal nailed.
If it happens then great, if not we move on.

 


Time to move forward together.

If we can nick Benteke off of West Ham as we supposedly did with Cabaye as well, after signing Tomkins off of them. Then my dream of us proving that we can be as big as them and challenge them will finally be coming into fruition

Exactly this! gone are the days of being linked with players in the same category as West Ham, Everton, Southampton and Stoke where we lose out on all of them due to being the small, unappealing club. Now comes the time where we steal their best and give them nothing in return but a what if! Happy days.

Not until we win the World Cup


For the minute, there's still plenty of mileage in Shipperleys goal

If you are referring to Tomkins in your comment about "stealing their best" let's not forget that he couldn't get into their first team which is why he was so keen to move
