Well, if Fer is not injured, he's like a mini version of Yaya Toure. So he's definitely worth a gamble, could be a boss, and for side like Norwich, he could be essential.

Those are lovely signings, damn I getting worried. Southampton is building a Top 8 team at this rate too.. Everton however might be going down the rankings if they loose Baines and Fellaini. Sunderland is other team that could be surprising this season, Giaccherini will be joining them soon, and he's quality as well.. Bit worried, but I hope we have more signings to come for us.

Arsenal offered £30m for Suarez so they could it they want to. Suarez is a world star, Benteke is not yet, they could offer 20 million at maximum imo. And Lukaku + Cash Deals some post here are crazy.. Lukaku is younger, is more talented imo in long run and is in the same money value bracket right now as Benteke... We are not getting him.

I think people are way too harsh on him. Yes, he's a prick the way he acted, but the guy saved us from relegation. If not him, we wouldn't be in this league anymore. I'll always remember that. And we knew from start he was going act like that at some point in time, he went onto strike at Genk to join us for ffs.

To be expected - we can't compete with the likes of Swansea You have to be in for a player to compete against other clubs for his signature. We competed just fine with Chelsea for Okore, or Fulham for Benteke We didnt really, he turned down Chelsea because he wanted play time. It's going be the same thing with Okore as it was with Benteke, in 1/2 years. As I said, if we dont get super rich owner, we'll be stuck in this circle forever. And please don't compare Borrusia in this. German league is not that competitve, in 2007,08 etc. there's only one amazing and consistent team and others were decent, but not amazing, that's why Borussia rebuild was succesfull in many ways. In Premier League there's at least 6/7 clubs that have rich owners and have quality sides.

Considering with non existent midfield at Villa, especially since Bannan is considered a genius here, he's a monster he scored 20 goals. With proper support, he'll be scoring goals for fun,

What? Don't be silly!! You've been great! Hope you'll be active on the forums even if benteke goes :-)

Its never too late to hijack a bid. Well, that's true. However we will still not be getting him, to me that's preety certain,

25 million + Demba Ba could be a potential offer from Chelsea. They do want to offload Demba lately, so this could be realistic. We are definitely not geting Bony, too late.

Oh well This is always going to happen until by some miracle we get massively rich owners. No real surprise though I think.

I'm really excited by Okore dont get me wrong but Draxler, as stupid as the link is, is by far the best player we've been linked to imo, followed by Belhanda/Kiyotake and then Okore. Linked? I had no idea - if one user saying'' we should sign Draxler for 7 million'' should be considered '' linked ''

Some of the suggestions here and mostly twitter bs make me want to do this..

You should really get your facts right before posting stupid comments ( no disrespect intended ) You add 23 million to that 7 million figure you posted and it still wouldn't be certain if he would move. And if he was to move, it's to Chelsea, City, United, Real of this world. Not us.

Either or. I don't care. Both are amazing. And both will be amazing.

If Kicker confirmed it, it's as reliable as we can get other than having the club telling us we made a bid. Seems we COULD pull this off, which would be amazing, however lots can still happen.

This is way more unrealistic than Belhanda ever was imo, Honda is just too good for our team.

He's young and inexperienced, but he could well in few years become similar player to what Gary Cahil is now. Of course, he might not too. Baker is my preffered option, but I'd definitely keep him for one more year at least.

If we are going splash that much, which we could. We did at Benteke afterall or similar. Let's better go for Praet then Hughes. I rate Hughes, but Praet could be totally world class, Hughes meanwhile will be great, but not on same level imo, although it could turn out different of course.

Chelsea was interested in Okore and look what happened... In January though. Not a comparable too. Young unproven --//-- Proven, class Anyway, I think if we go for him actually, we stand a chance, but who knows at this point. IF we are getting him though, the deal wont happen in june, but usually at the end of transfer window imo.

To some UAE or Russian owners please then Hopefully by next year too, so we can keep Benteke if he stays with us this year xD * dream ends * But seriously, who knows what's going happen.

How can someone wanted even by Ajax be in same league to Crouch or Bowery? Yeah, he was just wanted, by Ajax has the best football school for kids like him, the kid has massive potential, and with us could develop brilliantly.

Please don't compare Helenius to Crouch!!! Helenius is not awkward on the ball. He can play some great passing and football.

How is he supposed to know? Dunno. But it's a fair guess. Because we signed 4 players already, doesn't mean we wont sign more. And looking at it from a point of view that those 4 players equate to around a price we will get for Bent ( around 8 million ) plus his wage. Means, there should be more players coming because we CAN afford them. We got ride of Dunne, Ireland and Given to come. I expect 2 more talented out of nowhere players, more stablished LB and a 'marquee' signing such as possible Belhanda or someone else. That's the joy with this policy, our transfer wage budget will be low after releasing those high earners so we can allow ourselves to buy more young players.

When we signed Lowton, Westwood or Benteke did we not think they would be on the bench at the start? You have to give them time and see. For me Okore is definitely starter for us. The other 3 add great depth to the bench, and with Helenius especially we have a MASSIVE talent on our arms to break into the squad slowly, not as fast as Benteke though I think. Richard pointed out that Juky and August will be busy too, because we already signed 4 players, doesn't mean we won't sign 4-5 more. Those 4 players earn less than Bent's alltogether wage ( or Given's for the fact )

Okore after few games will eat Vlaar or Baker for breakfast.
