Ah well that will teach me not to read the previous posts. Tommy Smith has gone as well apparently, someone might have already mentioned that as well!
Apparently Rossiter to rangers will make 250k in compensation fee to us. Every little pays balotelli wages. That's 2 more weeks taken care of..
Madness. You reject it cos they are spits and tell them it's 40mil and they can **** off if they think they can pull a fast one on wages too.
Don't know why, but feel sorry for the lad.. he tried, but I guess, he just wasn't suited to the style we wanted to play... Must agree, they want us to foot a certain % of his wages, they can **** off! They've been given a new Stadium for next to nothing, they can pay their own way. 25m+ and all his wages on you.. that's non-negotiable!
Benteke will do well at a club that like to play to his style so we shouldn't be shafted by anyone on the fee, he's also not so good that I don't want him at another PL club so West Ham can have him at the right price.
25 is too low. we have too much tv revenue and ****.. we should be hocking him for parity or profit. he's not freaking badontelly FFS>
They fact they've openly said they will bid 25m for "someone" in the PL, likely to be Benteke.. if that's their opening offer, we could get a bit more out of him, but to be honest, a loss of between 7.5-5m on him, whilst not great is acceptable.. Just want to make sure we don't get stuck with some of his wages!
course we will... they are big mouths... but in the end they are using us as they said oh we did 30mil euros for some french tosser and oh if it doesn't get accpeted we will bid 25 someone else... **** off basically. same as lallana 20mil rumour. next it will be sturrdige to arsenal again this sunday. you'd think we had a big game coming up or something
Lallana, Studge are going no where.. they can rumour munger all they like! Benteke is the likely buy for West Ham, the "other" players they have meant to have bid on and come out in public that they want to move to a club with CL footy..
whey can pay 40mil and all his wages... we have 4 strikers. we are not going to set about a season by weakening our hand in squad and by losing money on deals... benteke is one of our strikers and frankly an option... sturrdige might break down, ings is not that good and origi is 20.. so we aint selling cheap to a pair of corrupt spivs
