Would love Dzeko but I'm sure he's on approx £230k per week.

I'll take Bernard too, 9/10 is a bit young.

I take Benteke over a 10/10....not even a moment in hesitation either.
I wonder what the Negredo thing means:
1) we've realised that the price Villa want for Benteke is unrealistic or the gap between our respective valuation is too vast and we are looking elsewhere?
2) we are looking at other options as part of good business practice or as part of the game to show Villa, Benteke and his advisors we have other irons in the fire to force the issue?
I quite like Negredo and towards the end of the season he was on fire (11 in 10 at one point if my memory serves me well). However, I think Sevilla will be demanding similar money to Villa so surely the Levynomics point towards Benteke?
Just hope we end the window with a goal scorer and another creative player who can break down teams who come to WHL to park the bus. That happens I'd be delighted but, as always, I am keeping my expectations low!

I remember when he was linked away in january newspapers were saying they believed his salary to be around £120K/week.

Unfortunately yes ... rules us out as a possible future club for him.

When is LLM going to be verified it seems his info is on a par withh JJ dare I say it.
I was lead to believe that Baldini's remit from Levy was, and I quote, "piss off Babylon22". He has only been officially in office for a matter of days and it seems he needs a new objective!

One paper says 120k, another 160k, another including bonuses says over 200k.

Could be either mate. Although if we encouraged the Benteke camp to hand in a request we must of indicated that we were prepared to get very close to the valuation - if, as reported, they were set on him coming here and effectively ruling out others.
I think its more likely to be number 2 though. Like you say Levynomics dictate Benteke is the far more attractive deal.

I'm disappointed in you Pink! 10/10 is Jessica Alba/Cheryl Cole level

Negredo just doesn't excite me; Soldado on the other hand...
Will he be a 1 in 2 goals a game striker in the Prem? I think this is the first massive mistake people make when asking for any international player, assuming (random player) will make the transition right away.

Although Negredo has a good goal scoring record he is very hit and miss, and Defoe esq when it comes to missing sitters in key games.
For the reported fee, people would rather have a world class striker such as Soldado instead of another Defoe.

I'd take Dzeko over Benteke and Negrado. But as you say, wages would be a big problem.
