Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

half the fee that goes to the board and we dont see it, whilst our opposition gets stronger or re-signing a world class midfielder? no brainer really

Well yes. Money in is no good if you don't spend it. However, we have more or less broken even the last 9 years. How? Selling our current players. Much talk of war chest (again) but £15m - £20m may help to loosen the purse strings a little and ensure we don't sell any squad players to do it.

Also, if Man Utd wish to strengthen their midfield do you suppose they have but a single option - Fabregas? No, if they want, they'll buy someone regardless. And if they buy someone regardless we get nothing and our rivals are still strengthened the same amount.

Anyway, you asked for one good reason and you got one. Personally I'd prefer we got him instead and still spent another £50- £60m on transfer fees.

Make this happen

Benteke - one of the most promising strikers I've seen in a while...great presence, energy, and most importantly finishing. Great first season in the prem too. Pay the money for him.

I believe he has proven himself in the PL and would offer us a good threat but he isnt our first choice so. . .it could happen

Fair statement there. i presumed you meant you would would rather take the money from your earlier statement than sign him.

Has he got over his fear of going no further than his front door step?

Yeah I think it would make more sense to sign a Cesar type keeper than someone coming into his prime. Would be a good signing if true.
