Transfer Rumours 2013/14

I don't think he'll fit in English football. I'd rather have Darren Bent back.

Benteke is a better player than Bent and he would suit the style your lot play now. Bent wouldn't fit in a top team now but I would love to be proven wrong if he moves to Newcastle

Think he was talking about Soldado. Not Benteke.

I don't see why we'd need Benteke with Lukaku in the team anyhow. If we're gonna gamble on a young massive Belgian striker, why not use the one we have.

Because apparently Mourinho wants to sell both Torres and Ba so we cant just have 1 striker

Schurrle.

If he's only going to play one up top then you can't afford to have 3 strikers expecting to start.

Benteke has submitted a transfer request.

Doubt they'll be able to keep him and Bent won't want to stay, they'll be in trouble if that does actually happen.

Charlie Austin fails a medical at Hull City.

Does this mean "deal off" or would Hull - as idiotic as it seems - try and ignore that?

Steve Bruce said the deal was a 'non-starter' because of it

Benteke is a good player but he's not proven yet to be a world class striker in Premier League. One good season doesn't mean anything (for eg Cisse). So I'd rather bring in Bent than Benteke, Bent is a proven goalscorer (Aston Villa, Sunderland) and for 5m he's a steal.

To Uruguay radio station Sport 890, Suarez said: “There have been no offers yet, but Liverpool know exactly what is going on and what I want.”

He added: “My manager is in charge, he knows what I want, I am resting and relaxed. I am due back in about ten days, on the 21st of July (for the friendly with Melbourne Victory)… a phone call could change everything.”

On reported interest from fellow Premier League clubs, Suarez said: “Is good to know that I am still valued by teams like Arsenal. Friends call me up to ask if I am moving to Chelsea, to which I laugh.”

Suarez also warned: “Don’t believe everything you read or hear! I am sometimes off the grid. I don’t even know where my phone is sometimes.”

Most intriguing of all is the fact Suarez did not dismiss the links with Arsenal and Chelsea, which suggests, despite his protestations abouyt the English media, the Uruguayan could be willing to stay in the Premier League.

It depends what you want from your striker really. Bent isn't going to give you much in terms of build-up play, the rest of the team has to work for him. From what little i saw of Benteke he looked a lot more involved in build-up play and creating his own opportunities.

Benteke is more like a Target Man, Bent is likely to play as a Poacher.

Meanwhile West Ham considering a move for Downing lol.

Everton are just signing all of Wigan at this stage. Alcaraz signed for 2-years and Joel about to sign

All your Wigan belong to us.

Alcaraz is on a free and Joel plays for Athletic.

It's refreshing to have a manager come in and add strength in depth unlike dithering Dave who left his transfer till the last week of the transfer window.

*Atlético

Apparently you're getting Deulofeu on loan as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Everton play this year.
