Don't get your hopes up this isn't any relevant news just my response to the medical injury rumour.

 


The First 90 Minutes Are The Most Important!

Seriously guys what medical? They've not agreed a fee so why would we put him through a medical at our expense and then it count for nothing if the deal gets called off?

From BBS
Dom Fifield retweeted a bloke called Kristof Terreur (Belgian journo) who has said the following:

'No real update on Christian Benteke. Player still on holiday in Spain, Crystal Palace & Liverpool haven't found an agreement as yet.'

Still confident it'll happen, but I can't see it being confirmed for another week.

Retweeted by Dominic Fifield, so should be reliable if he trusts it.

Vim Fuego, what's your source for saying he will sign at 5pm?

Because the medical could easily have an impact on the fee?

"We think his knee is a bit dodgy, knock £10m off the price or we're walking away and telling the press why"

The cost of a medial is peanuts anyway to a Premier League football club.

 


Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

So how did he pass a medical 12 months ago?

Even more worrying would be finding an Achilles tendon there.

Was just using a random example, not specific to Benteke, but yes that would be pretty alarming.

None whatsoever. I was just making a guesstimate of the number of pages this transfer will consume and the time when it will be brought to a successful conclusion.

I'd like him to sign, assuming that he isn't' going to take up our entire remaining transfer budget as we still need another three or four players.

People also need to remember that we now have the old Liverpool club Doctor who will know Benteke's ailments better than anyone else...

They should get our old school nurse to do it - she could get through 200 kids in 40 minutes.

He's had that nasty tackle by Delaney to contend with since then.

Is there any update from the HOL correspondent at Sainsburys.

That will be Sainsbury's Barcelona branch I assume.

What I have heard is that he appears able to buy the most expensive bucket and spade, leading to rumours of a major pay-day upon his return to the UK.

With his money he will be using a JCB not a bucket and spade.
