From Sevilla...
Realised my mistake, am sure there was someone else though
From Sevilla...
Soldado has never felt right to me. People always go, Valencia are skint, but they never just give away their stars, IE Villa from £30m, Mata for 23m. £25m for a 28-year-old, it just doesn't feel like our style.I can't believe I let myself get sucked in again. Every fucking window I tell myself not to get excited about players I'd love us to sign...Vucinic, Forlan, Suarez, Moutinho, and now Villa...and every fucking time I get my heart broken over players we probably had no realistic chance of getting in the first place. Bastard lemmings learn quicker than me.
Seriously I feel cursed. If we ever get linked to a player that I really want us to sign, you can bet your house on us missing out. Bony to Swansea is the salt in the wound.
Oh and I'd love us to sign Soldado too so you can kiss that muvafucka goodbye.
*kicks the cat
**wonders where the cat came from
Benteke lol
what about you?!

Exactly. David Villa may have only been £7m but a hefty wage packet. We could probably get Benteke on £50-60k a week.Guessing wages will be high as well. Where as Benteke is only on £20k at Villa.

In several of the games Villa were under the cosh and Benteke wasn't really in the game. I'm not sure how much of that was Benteke and how much of that was Villa.

villa plus wages would equal Benteke plus wages over three years

I feel Benteke would be young and good enough not to have to buy 2 out and out strikers. Keep Ade sell Defoe and bring in a goal scoring wide player
Dortmund were rumored to be interested before, and with Lewandowski looking like he'll be off I wouldn't be surprised to see them grab Tekkers.
Most of the times when I saw Benteke play he looked pretty average. As you say, it could be due to the poor team he was in, but at the same time poor teams can make average or slightly above average players (especially strikers) look like world beaters simply because everything is geared towards them. Look at Bent when he was at Charlton, or Suarez at Liverpool.
Not saying Benteke wouldn't necessarily be good for us, but scoring a lot of goals for a shit team isn't a guarantee of quality.
Hell, it was his all round game that impressed me more than his goal tally - although that was impressive for a debut season. Funny how people can see it so differently.
You're saying Suarez is just above average? Really strange thing to say mate, he's clearly one of the best players in the world even though he's a horrible little shit, and even if he was the main man up there.
Don't agree with that train of thought either. And on that basis everybody and their dog outside of Tottenham would be saying the same about Bale.
