Benteke is just a poor version of Lukaku imo
Carroll, Kenwyne Jones or Heskey would be closer.
Benteke is just a poor version of Lukaku imo
IIRC didn't AVB decide he wanted Soldado and not Benteke? Benteke chose Liverpool two years later....Also IIRC he was shown around our training ground etc and chose them. I don't rate him and don't want him ( too injury prone). There are other players out there who would run through walls to join us and they are the ones I hope we will bring in.
It looks like CCV could be ahead of Fazio, but isn't Velkjovic looking to get away, and unlikely ever to play for the first team?So more strong suggestions from Trix that despite media clamour for Batshuayi and Afobe, Berahino is still the number one choice. I'm actually not against that, Poch and co obviously firmly believed he was the right fit for us, and still believe so.
Interesting to see Fazio and Townsend being mooted as outgoing to cover the fee. No talk of a CB incoming, so must assume there's belief Velkjovic and/or Carter-Vickers are ready to step up.
Some belief Shilow Tracey will be signed up also, a significant pool of talent looming on the horizon, largely an English core there. With the new stadium, a talented squad being assembled to be ready for it.
We really should be looking at Batshuayi instead, (I'm sure we've had ITK on him at some point)

Lukaku is probably the best striker in the Prem right now, so everyone is a poor mans lukakuBenteke is just a poor version of Lukaku imo
I'm not sure buying a 'reserve' striker is really going to make a difference is it? Kane plays if fit, his injury record suggests he should, fingers crossed do that, so we are essentially buying a back up for the rest of the season? If you could buy a shot hot striker and put Kane in the No10 role in some games then that would be a different matterSo here we are again.
In a good(ish) position to get a Champion's League spot and in need of a striker.
Your move, Levy
err yeh that's what I meant. spot on you tw@Despite them being two completely different players only being compared because they are black, Belgian and physical imposing.
Kane plays if fit
I was unsure. Got the impression Velkjovic was being semi frozen out due to the fact he wouldn't sign a new deal, but wondered if his reluctance was down to looking for first team opportunities. With the ITK Fazio is looking increasingly likely to leave, this opening up an opportunity within the 1st team squad, I wondered if he may be more inclined to sign a new deal and return to the fold.
Windy said the other day that we've offered Velkjovic a big new contract. However part of the deal was a loan to Brentford for the rest of the season.
So either way it's like to be 2CV who steps up to 4th CB
Exactly. We're likely dead in the water without Kane regardless of who we sign. Very few teams can lose their top player and not fall off.
Kane, Aguero and Vardy would dispute thatLukaku is probably the best striker in the Prem right now, so everyone is a poor mans lukaku
Right now. Lukaku has scored 8 in a row. Ageuro has scored in only 2 games the whole season. Kane been great but lukaku more goals. Vardy yes you could argueKane, Aguero and Vardy would dispute that

HmmmmApart from our 'Arry obviously?
"Could argue", well if the amount in a row is your measurement Vardy just broke the record this year, so it's Vardy then.Right now. Lukaku has scored 8 in a row. Ageuro has scored in only 2 games the whole season. Kane been great but lukaku more goals. Vardy yes you could argue
