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.

His record is brilliant.

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.
Tommo.
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.
Tommo.
I expect Schurrle to be used more on the wing the as a lone striker.
Also Charlie Austin has failed his medical at Hull

With the money they get for Benteke they could easily buy 2 or 3 top strikers.
Number 1
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
Number 1
Yeah - just as I posted that I red an article that had these quotes.
Always can be a strange one - I remember Demba Ba failing his Stoke medical in 2011, and he hasn't really had much in the way of injury since.

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.

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.

Not the worst idea in the world to be honest. They are lacking someone on the right side. Him and Jarvis on the wings whipping balls into Carroll could be very fruitful.

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.

Common sense deal, really.

Apparently you're getting Deulofeu on loan as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Everton play this year.
Deano
I was typing on my phone and couldn't be arsed making that effort
I would wank myself into oblivion if we got him on loan.
Tommo.
