Was it though? Or was it pointless and an empty threat. Knwoing we wouldn't get him. I hate being so cynical The only question is did we or did we not put in such a large offer. It would be ridiculous to put in such a huge offer if we didn't think it would have a hope of being fulfilled. Would we had turned around and said it was just a whim when nobody else decided to come in and walked away ? Would of been a laughing stock.

It's 10k more than Cabaye gets paid so not that unlikely and £30m on a player with all the money in The Premier League I'd imagine every team in the league is capable of making an offer like that! Let's face it as soon as a fee and wages were agreed we were always going to get gazumped! I tell you what though if we can get Benteke its not a bad second prize is it?

Looks as if we have missed out on him as Chelsea have had a £33m bid accepted...

I think we've done rather well with signings that have been cheap, but where we've paid over a million for players the record has been poor. Jedi, McArthur, Bolaise, Puncheon, Dann, Delanney, Ward etc all cheap signings, all good. Its about getting the right player, not the best or most expensive player.

Think Jimmy Mac cost in the region of £6m so not exactly a bargain, and defintely not under £1m (nor was Dann or Puncheon I don't think)

George Courtney, the World Cup referee, everyone is looking at him. When will he blow....? |

I think it's arrogance on his part for choosing a team who are at the moment no better off than us domestically, anyway we shall see but I think I'll be right
