dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 He will go for £32.5m and not a penny less. The club are pretty adamant on that and he signed the contract. Fairs fair. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Reason for keeping him. He is good at football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Lerner is an absolute tool but I have 100% faith that if benteke is sold we will get the best deal possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) TalkSport are reporting that he may be signing for Liverpool today... But I've never believed a word from that awful station. Edit: Just went back and read the last few pages. Seems I'm a bit late. Edited July 2, 2015 by One For The Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Just looked at our top scorers from last season.... Am I missing something or are we a bit screwed atm if tekkers leaves? He was always going to be our top scorer but I didn't realise just HOW reliant we were on him. Weimann was our third highest scorer after gabby (.... Albeit only on 4 goals) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 We will be if we do nothing to replace him, but with £30+ million I think paddy and Tim would do a good job of rebuilding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always going to be our top scorer but I didn't realise just HOW reliant we were on him. Weimann was our third highest scorer after gabby (.... Albeit only on 4 goals) He was our only real striker so of course we relied on him. However, I'm quite certain we won't line up at Bournemouth with only 10 players. He will be "replaced" and who is to say that whoever comes in won't be even more prolific? As good as he can be he went 11 games without a goal iirc? Players come and go, I just hope Tim gets the full amount of the transfer to strengthen the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted July 2, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2015 I think Austin would be a good replacement to be honest... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Given what is out there, I would like Austin. Possibly doesn't contribute as much as Benteke does, further back from goal but would certainly be a similar target to hit early, as we did with Benteke at times or alternatively from slow build ups, which we also did at times. I think he could conjure up a similar amount of goals (15-20) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Who ever we sign im sure we won't go through the goal drought we did with Lambert. It would be difficult to match even if Sherwood tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 As long as we hold out for the money, and I say the money alone, I think we're in a can't lose situation. I think the money may actually be spent well this time, and could give us a better team overall. But if we're not going to get top money and re-invest it all properly, then we should keep him regardless...because then we'll rely on him to keep us up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 If he goes to Deluded FC, then he is dead to me, but £25m plus Markovich, i might think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
