Give him the Benteke song, he's gonna be a new Holte End hero!

I'd take him, proven PL striker and should do well with Gil, Grealish, Bacuna and Amavi providing.

Interesting quotes from Sherwood in the Birmingham Mail about wanting rid of 5-7 more players, obviously has at least 2-3 more better quality incoming in mind.

He looks like just another Twitter bullshitter to me

Maybe we can start talking about this guy now that Delph is staying.

Amusing

Laters, not that bothered really.

Permit sorted apparently

Our resurgence under Sherwood only occured when Bacuna came into the team. He nearly always delivers going forward, so perhaps Sherwood has decided to play three centre backs so he can use Bacuna while having a much stronger defence all round. Makes sense to me.

It's happening?

Awesome, could be the signing of the summer!

They've just signed Trippier, would be great to get Walker back.

Think we've dodged a bullet with him not signing a new contract...

Lock this mofo down..!

Anyone know the best way to buy Club Wembley seats? I've written (as I'm in Singapore) to Circuit and got no response, will call them later to try, any other advise appreciated. Cheers.

Here is what they told me... Short Season Box Offer Events Included FA Cup Final 2 of the following; Championship Play-Off Final, Ed Sheeran, Foo Fighters Box Hospitality Package - £2,000 + VAT per person • Exclusive use of 8, 12 or 20 seat box • Flexible catering options • Complimentary beer, wine and soft-drinks for three hours pre-match, at half-time and one hour post-match • Cheese, teas & coffee at half-time • Comfortable seats situated directly outside of the box with unrivalled views of the action • 5 star service – private kitchen, bathroom, personal host and chef • The box is twice the size of boxes at comparable UK venues • Car parking spaces directly adjacent to the stadium • Use of box for meetings on non-event days • Dedicated account manager • Fast track exit Cost • 8 Seat Box = £16,000 (+VAT) • 12 Seat Box = £24,000 (+VAT) • 18 Seat Box = £36,000 (+VAT) • 20 Seat Box = £40,000 (+VAT) So effectively this option gives you a box, for £2,000 + VAT per person, for the FA Cup Final and two other events of your choice.​

I'm keen for a ticket also, flying over from Singapore to go - definitely we'll have to pay over the odds anyway, so the box might be a good idea. Edit: have made enquiries with Wembley Club, will post on here anything I find.

Good second half, Sherwood told them what we all knew, too slow in buildup and too much possession for no end product. Given - man of the match for me, wonder whether he might get some more games. Benteke - looks back to himself when we aren't pissing about going forward. Get in Tim!

Give em a bit of banter Tim!

Welcome, a major change from the previous manager in so many ways, the guy will do well in my opinion.

Agree that although he had a shocker, at no point did he stop looking to get involved. I'd rather this than him be anonymous like the rest of the midfield was for most of the game. Hopefully he has a better game next week.

Play him (for the first eight minutes only)

Looks like Grealish starting judging by his tweet

His brother has just tweeted, looks like official announcement coming today!

Medical this afternoon according to Sky Sports twitter.
