The January transfer window

[Hansern]

For what they need he could be a shrewd buy, regardless of how lazy he is, he'd benefit from having a team around him that keeps the ball, then he'd just do what he does best.

Could be, I hope not.... 😉

 

[Red Bird]

what's the deal with benteke? seems to have stalled, but still very talented and young enough to improve. his value will have gone down, cheeky bid? say 12m?

Over-hype during a good spell at the start got to his head. Rodgers was right when he moaned about our centre halves being dominated by a striker who mostly sunk after such a "rousing" performance. He's young enough to develop, though; he does needs to stop believing that he's already the big thing (similar to Andy Carroll).

He looked proper lazy yesterday, he gave up in one attack and stood around in an offside position because he'd lost the ball. If he'd moved back onside, he'd have capitalised as Villa had regained possession. By the time he realised, he was too far behind Sunderland's backline to do anything.

Benteke reminds me of Heskey, Heskey was brilliant for us in his first season (mainly half season) banging in the goals and then we never saw anything like that consistancy again.

Not saying Benteke is shite but hes massively over rated, he looks or looked a decent finisher but hes not quick or good enough to be an attacker for our style of play.

You know you get these hunks of meat like Sagbo and Altidore who are lucky to score 5 goals a season, basically just there to be a nuisance with their strength, hold the ball up/win headers/score the odd goal etc, Benteke is just an better version of those types of player.

@Hansern - you're too quiet mate. can you give us the 5 most interesting players linked to us please.

 

[StevieM]

Benteke would be an absolute waste of money if we were in the slightest bit interested.

Which we aren't... Hopefully.

 

[Rosco]

I'm surprised we haven't signed anyone yet

Give me M'Vila and Salah, with a side order of Fernando.

No shot for the bottom two.

   Liverpool have done very well in signing Salah. I've been told he chose #LFC over clubs like Spurs, Everton and Atletico Madrid.

   Mohamed Salah, one of Europe's brightest prospects, will fly into Liverpool tonight for a medical. £9 million fee agreed. #LFC

 

[Frogfish]

Well to begin with I thought "who"?, then it was "why"? and now I'm actually quite excited at signing Salah (if true). I guess it's just SOS ('signing on syndrome') !

Fake account, it seems

 

[Hansern]

Swansea want Sterling on loan. Thats a big N O

Maybe they have been reading the fake Salah Twitteratti reports ?

 

[Modo]

They can have Smith

Telegraph reporting Chelsea have had a 50m bid for Higuain turned down.

John W. Henry ‏@John_W_Henry4h
So what are the real odds of making top four at this point? City 99%, Chelsea 91%, Arsenal 87%, LFC 61%, United 30%, Everton 20%, Spurs 12%

Could that prompt him to splash the cash? 😛

 

[gene hughes]

Why did he do that?

Today's links:

Badu

You should know better.

Although to be fair we had agreed personal terms and a fee last month with the club according to various 'reliable' twitter users, so only the medical was remaining.

I can't wait until someone else on twitter tells us how great he played against Oldham on Saturday.

And how he linked well with Alonso
