This is a made up story and I have no idea why any of you would believe it. Why in the name of god when we are under pressure financially would we be signing a player in the one position we don’t need. Wise up folks.

Whilst I agree this makes no sense whatsoever but judging by recent windows this may not be all together impossible. Cahill was a great signing but unexpected. Personally I would like us to get another quality attacking option in over this type of signing as you say. Spend the money where it is needed.

I must admit I never heard his press conference.
As I mentioned I have not heard of any interest in the player from the club.

We are already well stocked in midfield and Bentaleb is a player who has not played this season.

and the BBC

As I mentioned recently, I had not heard of any interest in Bentaleb amidst numerous rumours in the media.Not once did his name enter any conversation.

Willo, with the greatest of respect, why do you feel the need to post confirming you don’t know anything. Are you trying to say that by not knowing something it lends gravitas to your knowledge... or lack of as the case may be?
