Mattyp_avfc Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 To be honest I do think we will get him, but it will go down to the wire! Hope we get Zarate on loan too.... would be some strike force!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 30, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2012 Nothing new there from Abraham IMO, we're just playing the game in order to get the best deal possible. I think this will get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Is our final offer for Benteke £5.5? thought that was the failed offer? People on twitter and Richard here seem to think this deal is still on, hope it is true. Unsure how Gouffran is also linked though, is he supposed to be a winger or second option if Benteke fails, would prefer both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 i think we will know by tonight if he is signing for us or not... PL knows we are not in a position to put all our eggs in one basket and risk not getting another forward in... if they don't accpet a bid today move onto someone else tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limvillian Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Is he even a target man? I don't really see what the fuss is about him. He doesn't exactly come with a excellent scoring record in a poor league. Also doesn't seem that highly rated by fans of his club. People comparing him to the likes of Cisse are mad. Cisse had an excellent scoring record in Germany He has a better scoring record than Lukaku had in the Belgian league and Chelsea shelled out ip to £18m for him.

It's pretty obvious that Lukaku, and maybe Hazard as stated by Benteke's agent, are factors as to why Genk believe they deserve so much. He's there player, they have a figure they believe he is worth, and don't NEED to get rid of him. If Lambert really wants him he'll have to meet their valuation, and if he doesn't think he's worth that valuation then he just needs to move onto his next target. Too late to be bartering at this stage in the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
