I agree with you completely but my understanding is that that isn't how Wolves do or intend to play either. As far as their transfer policies have seemed to be, I think this seems incredibly out of place as well Maybe it isn't true about Wolves.

Maybe it isn't true about Wolves. Maybe not. I do think he would be a good signing for a newly promoted club but maybe his wages are a little off putting

Benteke gets a lot of criticism but I maintain that in the right team that is serving him crosses he's a potent striker who will score goals. That's his main strength and If I was managing a team principally looking to be about crossing into the penalty box I would certainly be looking at getting Benteke. This is very true. Unfortunately for Trekkers, the modern game seems to be moving away from a target man and more to players who can press

Wasn't Jimenez absent for about half the season + they sold Jota to Liverpool & Adama Touré went to Barcelona, I would have thought that would make a dent in anyone's goal tally Originally posted by eritheagle

I can never understand how a footballer can have a good season and be awarded a high salary.
No-one knows what salary Benteke is on although it seems that many think that they do

I suspect the PL has evolved away from Christian's game a little. That there is no right team for him because it's not a style of play that remains particularly viable in this PL. His best was attacking a quality cross into a crowded box. Now it is simply extremely difficult to produce such crosses and, then they are made, the defenders and keepers are better. There are quite a few defences in Scotland which would suit his style but the 98% pay cut might not appeal.

Evening everyone, I am going to post updates on here as soon as I get them & when my work allows, I am not asking you to believe everything I put but will post for those that are interested: As off tonight I have been told the following: Cheick Doucoure - Done Deal 5yr deal - €20m We are very interested in the following: Lewis o’Brien - £12m We will not get all of these obviously as some are 1st & 2nd choices but I would expect 3 of these on top of the 2 confirmed. It’s great to see that we have a clear plan & strategy Luka & Benteke likely to move on. Kouyate could also go wants a 2yr deal we have currently only offered a 1yr deal. 7 weeks on, how's it looking Dazza...
Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it.. |
