HalfTimePost Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Zero chance of Bony, very similar to Benteke this season, has had an absolutely explosive season. We missed the bus on him and then signed Benteke instead. Which is fine, infact it is incredibly encouraging to know that we were after both of them. It's clear that that type of player (in terms of style of play, potential value of the player etc) is crucial to Lamberts system, as such I wouldnt expect us to sign Aubameyang (who also had a similar season to Benteke/Bony in terms of impact at Saint Etienne) as a replacement, I agree if we were to sign him it would be to play in Weimann/Gabbys role. Presuming the links last summer to Aubameyang and Bony were real + us actually signing Benteke, that is 3 strikers who have all had superb seasons after being relatively unknown by mainstream footie fans a year or 2 ago. If Benteke leaves just have to trust Lambert to do it a 4th time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfcwills10 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I agree without fundamentally changing the system you would need someone who is good in the air, can hold up the ball, but tricky enough to beat a defender. First person that came to mind was Andreas Cornelius from FC Copenhagen. Would take a fair bit to convince him to join when we're not in Europe though. I'll have to check my notes later for others. He looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biskitt Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Definitely worth a look in the Danish league, quite a few players have come over from their in the past and settled well. Jores Okore looked good in both games against Chelsea as a CB and don't think he would cost the earth either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa-revolution Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Not even sure if this player is currently available or even looking for a move but every time I watch Crystal Palace on the box & the commentator is drooling over Wilfred Zaha I find it is Yannick Bolasie who looks the more talented player. Palace signed him on the cheap from Bristol City & he has also done the rounds in the lower leagues with Plymouth. Looks a really exciting talent to me. Anybody know anything about him?

Ha, never played FM but if he's good on that it must be true Just remember the games against Chelsea and even though his team got battered, he stood out and looked good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, always thought he looked the better player of him and Zaha. He's from DR Congo like Benteke, maybe they'll be the new pool of fresh African talent.

mikeyp102 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 How much do people reckon we will spend, considering last yr was reported around £20m even though Lambert has recently downplayed the fees... I'm thinking we'll get around £12-15m selling the likes of Bent, Bannan, delfouneso, albrighton, given, Ireland (god knows who'll take him) and nzog. And hopefully that would all be put back for transfers. Add to RL putting up another £10m? So realistically having another reported £22-25m to spend? (obviously far more IF Benteke sold, but then I still wouldn't expect to spend all his transfer fee this yr window) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think the budget will be approx. £20m again. I don't see any reason for that to immediately change.I think extra cash generated through sales may be set aside to dip in to the market again in January.
