It's not ideal, but I just don't see the point of 'settling' for Benteke, especially at the price. I'm actually very annoyed with the committee, Rodgers etc for having 3 transfer windows to find a quality striker to replace Suarez and the best we can come up with are Lambert, Mario, Ings, Origi and potentially Benteke. With Mario and Sterling, play them in a two and we will get more out of them.
As you know full well considering the Mario signing, I'd never just settle for a player. I don't give a **** if it does leave us short, save the money and look to cope whilst aiming to buy in the next window. Use the time to scout properly. No point in buying someone that doesn't fit or work, its just a waste of resources.
and the silver lining is rodgers will be sacked as well. Its priority 1 IMO to get a striker but not just anyone as you say. very wise. It must be the right pick not any more compromises.
Sorry my lack of details. They hope to complete a deal at 2m. Anyway copy and paste from BBC sports news Coates to Sunderland Football gossip Posted at11:26 The Press Association reports that Sunderland hope to complete the signing of 24-year-old Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates later this week in a £2m deal. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/32973231
I hope not. I know Tobes fancies the pants off of him but he would just be another Jags or Cahill. Solid but not WC in my book
Yep, he's ****e. Buying now would be ******ed, paying for hype. Watch his value drop by half next summer #barkleysparkle
Couldn't give a **** about Coates only going for £2m. He's not being used and been here an age, expecting to end up leaving for free so just getting him off the books is good news IMO
You want to see the wages Coates is on... 60k lads. Get him gone. Also see higuin's agent is now agitating and linking us to him.
