Not a major surprise and he's probably unaffordable, even with the additional money we'll receive. To be honest, assuming that we continue with Rondon then I wouldn't think that Benteke is the sort of striker we need, being too similar to Salomon. I think we need someone who can play alongside him and complement him, rather than play instead of him.

Just wondering what effect the referendum will have on this years transfers, in the result of an out vote I doubt will would sign anyone on more than a 2 year deal, as there will be a 2 year transition period. But long term an out vote would put European players in the same category as an overseas player is there a limit on the number of overseas player you can have and if there is does anyone know how many? Maybe we should hold on to SB for another year (after signing him to a 2 or 3 year deal) as all English players will be drastically over priced.
