The problem here is Benteke wasnt worth the money Liverpool paid for him in the first place! They have discovered that and are hoping that the new TV cash sloshing about will enable them to recoup their costs.

Hopefully not at our expense. Not worth £30 million +.

I find this a hard position to make sense of. Let's leave aside whether he was worth it when Liverpool paid it.

Current deals in the market:

- £10m for Gayle
- £33m for Batshuyai
- Over £20m for Berahino
- £12m for McCormack
- £65m+ for Lukaku
- £35m for Mane
- £25m for Wijnaldum


In the context of some of the above and a load of others, I can't see how anyone can say Benteke wouldn't be valued at around £30m.

Whether we are willing to pay it (or whether he is willing to come) are both very different questions.

By the same token, Berahino's not worth £25m.... A rock and a hard place...maybe best to try strikers playing in Europe like Babacar and/or Zaza who might be slightly better value for money?

That makes sense. Berahino will go to Stoke, and CB has disappeared off the radar, so onto options 3,4 or 5!

Did he also indicate that the sun may set later and it's likely to rise again tomorrow morning?

Mariano Díaz Mejia, or Mariano, this kid would be perfect, although I can see him playing a big part in Real Madrid's plans this term..

Curious who we will target now as Saido,Benteke and Sarko all appear to be heading elsewhere.

Perhaps Crouch,Van Persie and Remy are still available?

I say Benteke would amount to an annual 10% of our player expenditure if we signed him on a five-year. (Net transfer spend and player wages over 5 yrs). To me that is too high a proportion.

For that proportion to not be the case we must spend vast amounts on others or sell players we like. I wouldn't mind either strategy too much personally but spending big would only appeal if we don't get stacked with debt.

.

 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
