Let's not get too hung up on Benteke when Herc said it's just an inquiry at this stage. I'm more interested about the two signings that are coming in.... especially the mystery second player.
I think it means if DL doesn't do the right thing and cough up for the pacy striker we need, there will be rumblings... ie rumblings of discontent because Poch wants a fast flexible sriker-Period. Which sounds a bit like Poch getting towards ultimatum level with Levy...
Herc's comment about being "told to put it out there" also sounds like people wanting some pressure on Levy.
If all this works out and Daniel buys us all a lovely pacy forward, we'll be ok. But Herc's info makes it sound like we could be in a whole load of trouble if not. We are sunk without Poch...
Yeah inquiries will be going in left, right & centre for many a player but it's going from everything is going to work out this window (for once) to hints Poch could be getting frustrated. Just doesn't sit right.Let's not get too hung up on Benteke when Herc said it's just an inquiry at this stage.

Seems like Aurier is pretty close. If we get Barkley, sanchez and Aurier done we will be better. If we add a WF it will be a great window.Poch historically says fuck all about transfers
If all this "3 or 4 more" stuff isn't him challenging his boss, i'd be surprised.
Lessons have been learnt
Getting Sanchez and Aurier makes this window anything but disappointing.If all we can get is Benteke or Origi id rather not bother. Promote Edwards give GKN another year and just sack this window off as being a disappointment. Both those two signings are such obvious desperation and complete wastes of money, just put the money back in the pot and try and sign a worthwhile player in January.
We could just buy someone worthwhile now but I've lost any hope of it happening.
No mate, just quoting the saying of the summerI hope you have some ITK there Hengy and Hopefully you're referring to the splashing of cash on one top player.
From my non ITK position (although I picked up some interesting info, from one of the current coaches during a round of golf, on Walker last week) three games into the season without a new signing on the pitch doesn't suggest we have in that respect.
I know multi million pound deals won't happen quickly but surely we shouldn't be still working on these deals with days left to go! Move on to the next target & stop wasting time. If negotiations have been going in for weeks then the selling club must be interested in the sale...time to pay what the player is worth!ali z: All i can say is what I know we still want Barkley, Sancho has agreed to join us as has Foyth, Aurier last I heard looks like we got over line and should be announced next few days and Poch wants a fast wing/forward type but these have all been ongoing for weeks.
on lemar: forget that .
