Why would WestHam want Benteke, they have Carroll for that type of option. I would think they are looking for somebody different to fit in with the other attackers they have.

To replace the Manchester United bound Andy Carroll

Why wouldn't they join them? they had a good Premier League finish, have some very good players, a good manager and a large stadium. They also pay good wages.

Because both are very good players who should be aiming higher?

Like Liverpool :)
 
The real question is, why wouldn't anyone want Benteke?

Benteke #1
Benteke is a great option for anyone (you just need a manager that knows how to use him and players that can pass to him), but WestHam have a very similar model already so why waste the money on something they already have.

Yeh they have Carroll but he's also injured a lot and I feel that in the right team Benteke is the better player, providing you play to his strengths.

But I suspect you're right, unfortunately.

I'd be surprised if they come in for Benteke, but who would they go for? (In the PL anyway)
 
But I'm sure you kept saying that Benteke is more than just a target man?

And apparently Klopp wanted him at BVB, so if he's good enough for them ...
He is, so is Carroll. Klopp did want him at Dortmund but he had players that could pass to him there.
Maybe when he gets some of his own players in you will see Benteke used correctly <ok>

You mean the Dortmund team that relied on speed, relentless passing, direct running, trickery?

Yeah, he would have fit in perfectly. :)

Bit too late now but Defoe would have done really well with the likes of Payet and Lanzini feeding him :emoticon-0100-smile
I don't think they will go for a PL striker, Bilic will have contacts beyond these shores.

Options Jimmy, options.
Managers have to change their game sometimes to beat the opposition, I know in FiFa you can play the same team/style game after game but real life isn't like that.

I'm talking about the bit of news that they were apparently lodging a £25m bid for a unnamed PL player

So it's more realistic for a team like Dortmund to spend £30m on a Plan B? ...

Do they now.

What's a good wage in your mind given the piles you shovel out..

Cos I can tell you west ham don't get with miles of what agents tell guys they can get.

Lacazette is to leave Lyon, his boyhood club, CL football next season ... To join West Ham because they have a nice stadium.
