Summer Speculation 2015

Recommended Posts

£30m + & Lambert would most likely see a deal happen. But only if we do not win the FA Cup, Benteke wants away at the end of the season, Tim cannot persuade him to give us another season at least and we do not get a new owner in that would see Benteke as a player we cannot afford to lose at any price.  

 

Benteke is a player whose goals have kept us in this division to date. He will take a lot of replacing and we should be looking to build a team around him rather than to sell him. Did we replace Barry, Milner, Young or Downing like for like or did selling them help our owner's bank ballance but see us facing bottom 6 rather than top 6 from then onwards?

I highly doubt that Sherwood will have any interest in accepting a washed up Rickie Lambert as apart of any deal. That smacks of a lazy link based on the January bid. Speaking of which, thank the heavens that deal collapsed. A panic signing from a delusional but desperate manager.

As for Liverpool, they didn't make £30m signings in the summer despite qualifying for the Champions League and having the Suárez cash in pocket, so it's difficult to see them doing so this summer. Plus I'd like to think Benteke could do better if he is to leave.

Origi is not awful. But 30m plus lambert? No thanks. 40m only

 

How many times have you watched Origi this year? Because if you'd seen him play in Ligue 1 this season you'd know that he went over 5 months without scoring a league goal and the fans can't wait for him to leave. Form at World Cups, generally, mean absolutely piss all.

Neither?

 

The myth that Randy is making money from Aston Villa continues :crylaugh:

He was not "making money" but he was taking money back that had previously been spent on these players and a bit more on top (it was once called "profitable player trading" at our club). This reduced the gap between overall spending on players and income from player sales at the cost of performance on the field but not to the extent that he has added to his wealth during his time as our custodian.

 

I just do not want to see Benteke leaving in the way these players did if at all possible.

Benteke is too good for Liverpool.

 

If a big club come in for him, we may struggle but just as we did with Barry, we would tell Liverpool where to go.

While I agree that he should aim higher than Liverpool, his destination isn't really our concern is it? Our priority is solely to secure the best fee possible, if Liverpool happen to be the club to offer that, then so be it.
