samjp26 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Mat Kendrick just said on twiiter, it will be permanent not on loan if it happens. Yeah it will be permanent, makes the most sense as Lazio have barely any strikers as it is. Udinese were actually favourites to sign him apparently so it seems we have came in recently rather than it being something we've been working on.

P3te Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'd be surprised if a 20 goal striker was dropped further away from goal. I think we're just realising he's a bit more effective if he's not stranded all the way up the top of the pitch and can actually be involved in the play, and break from deeper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Not a problem with him signing but just dont see the point too much. We have enough players who can play center foward, need an attack minded midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 He is a good player but he wont bag in the goals any time soon. He did very well in the Europa league, but poor in Serie A probably because that league doesn't suit his playing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Interesting signing if it happens. Either our formation will change or he will be Benteke's understudy and if the latter is the case then he must be willing to warm the bench for this season.

He is getting his head up more and picking a good pass. Add that to his already great attributes. He can play anywhere in an attacking role imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Not a problem with him signing but just dont see the point too much. We have enough players who can play center foward, need an attack minded midfielder. Need to take issue with you on this one Andy......don't see the point. Lets just say Benteke was to pick up an injury which ruled him out for three months. Who would lead the line in the same way which wouldn't force a complete change of style? Helenius isn't quite up to it yet. He'll take time plus he isn't strong enough to play that role yet. The other attacking options are all smaller guys with pace. It makes perfect sense to want another strong attacking option. You are talking about a creative midfield player but if you get the ball to Gabby or Weimann then you have as much creativity there as you need. In a perfect world then maybe a creative midfielder would be a good addition - in fact I agree it would be another good option to have - but if you can only sign one then I know what type of player I would much rather have. You can't all of a sudden change every aspect of your play and what the players are all used to the second the focal point of your attacks is injured. It makes more sense to have a player who can do a similar job - and I'm not saying he is exactly the same as Benteke or as good but he is big, powerful and will be a real handful for defenders. I'm thinking next summer is when we will start adding one or 2 of real quality, In Lambert we trust, a plan which is actually taking shape finally!
