TheMelvillan Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 no harm to Ayew but i genuinely dont think I could spend another season looking at his grumpy mug. Even when he scored he looked like someone had pooped in his cereal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusr Posted January 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2020 See there are talks that Inter Milan are due to sign Giroud. With them signing Sanchez and Lukaku in the summer, along with having Martinez, is there a striker there that could be on his way out? Only name I know is Barbosa who has just come back from Flamengo in Brazil, having been named South American Footballer of the Year. Surely some takers even if it seems he struggled at Inter and Benfica and Inter have seemingly already replaced him. Seems he can play as a 1st striker, 2nd striker and winger could be a good option to have and at 23 has a long future ahead of him. Could he be an option or would that be complete fantasy? Probably, but maybe Spurs are looking at him instead of Piatek? No idea but thought I would suggest something other than Beneteke... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DaveAV1 Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I’m amazed how many people believe, against all recent evidence that Benteke “might” score goals for us. Wesley was getting dogs abuse and yet was averaging around 1 goal in every 3 games. Wesley is also new to this team, league and country but has been afforded little or no slack from many posters. I think the nostalgic light may be blinding to some. Thanks for the memories Christian but I can’t see opposing defences looking at him with misty eyed nostalgia and letting him have a few free shots just for old times sake. The argument I hear a lot is that he’d be ok if we sign another striker too. Well I hope we do sign a top striker, but why waste the second striker spot on sentiment. Surely that's what a £5 million punt on a young up and coming player is for, not for an injury hit 30 year old. People moan about Glen Murray but I’d say he’d have a bigger positive impact on our season than CB would have.

holteend1982 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Anybody actually watched benteke recently? He's so bad. I'd rather rudy gestede up front, at least his wages would be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 A big no to Benteke, he's shite and pissed off on us a season too early to join Liverpool and ruined his career. Get someone with drive and desire up front who will give everything not some washed up injury prone striker who can't score... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Wish Jesus and the team would just stop pissing about and get the Akinfenwa deal done. We some presence up top!

Barbosa will more than likely attract a CL / EL side, linked with chelsea they also have Esposito breaking through but he's only 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People moan about Glen Murray but I’d say he’d have a bigger positive impact on our season than CB would have. He's still highly rated by Martinez. The fact he's getting game time and scoring for Belgium speaks volumes. If we get him in on loan it's a better gamble than Drinkwater or Reina who haven't played football in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
