Seems Roma might be interested in Benteke as well if they can't agree on wages with Dzeko.

And Ajax have signed Amin Younes.

Benteke highest amount of goals from headers last season.

Liverpool lowest amount of goals from crosses last season.

Failure written allover it.


What would the point have been in us putting crosses into the box last season when we had Sterling playing up top for much of it, pretty obvious we'll adapt our playing style if he comes in.

I remember when only the very best players got bought for £30m or more, like Zidane or Buffon. Now we get players like Benteke, Carroll, Luiz and Sterling going for that much. What a world we live in.

The TV money and the gentleman's agreement not to spend the recent increase of said money is causing inflation in the English transfer market. A smart club would look for players abroad, but even then the prices get inflated because foreign clubs know the Premier League clubs have money.

I find it weird seeing Oscar described as average.

He's had a tough time pretty much since Mata left but he's definitely a good player.

Also think Benteke's a poor signing. With the Euro as weak as it is £32.5m would get you pretty close to a fee for Lacazette. Whether he'd go there or not is debateable but it seems a lot more sensible buying in Europe this summer.

Lacazette won't risk a move a year before the Euros are hosted in France, especially to a club that isn't playing CL football.

His spot in the French squad is safer and he'll play in the Champions League if he stays at Lyon.

I'm certain people are making such a big deal out of Benteke simply because its Liverpool trying to sign him.

Evans to Everton for £8m by the looks of things.

Good money for him.

Do Roma just want everyone and sign no one?

I don't think Roma would ever pay £32m for Benteke. And I thought agreeing a fee with City was the problem with Dzeko rather than his wages?

lol this.

He's also not 'an average striker' tbf. By no means cheap but with our transfers recently, it could be worse.

He's a decent striker, but 32.5m is far too much.

That's similar or more than the likes of Sanchez, Costa, Mata and Depay cost.

You'd get a player who's had a good season or so in Ligue 1 over one who has been a solid Premier League striker?
I mean the money's a big factor, but putting it into context the last thing Liverpool need is dumping cash on unproven quality.

That fee for Benteke is a bit ridiculous.

About £8-10 million too much.

Honestly, he's more frustrating than Kalou, because he actually has talent but continues to lack any sort of consistency. Every season it's the same thing with Oscar, he'll start well and have a string of good performances before slowly tapering off and becoming anonymous from Christmas onwards. It has happened every season to date. While he's still failed to nail down a starting spot while effectively being handed the AM position, even after having all of his genuine competition sold off. He's incredibly lucky to still be here after 3 seasons like this, a lot of others haven't received half of the opportunity he's had before being sold off. If he doesn't deliver this season, providing he's still not sold off before end of the transfer window, then he needs to perform or he'll be gone next season I feel, and expect.

Real Madrid are replacing Casillas with Casilla. Unless they get rid of Navas, it looks like they are giving up on De Gea for now.

Oh Delph...

Bit worrying for Villa though, they came 17th with Delph and Benteke, losing them will most likely result in another struggle for them this season.

By the sounds of it they are in fact spending real money to strengthen their squad.
