 Thinking Lambert might well blow a lump of this potential fee (for he who shall not be named) on Kioyate and I would be suprised if I knew the actual name of the 18 year old "Pele of Gibraltar Rock" who we will sign in what will become known as "the greatest transfer deal in sporting history".

We were supposedly interested in Wilfried Bony last summer before signing Benteke.  If he does go, we might go back to him as the replacement?

EDIT:  looks like he's very close to joining Swansea, so perhpas not!

We should go and make a bid now. No harm in trying.

Austin deal off due to unforeseen circumstances - they said he had failed a medical but now say unforeseen circumstances - a late villa bid maybe?

Remy is worth a look in my opinion. If it is Spurs Dempsey might be involved. But there are a lot of young powerful strikers in Europe and I would bet decent money lambert has a dossier on most, and will buy one that will do well.

The question is do we buy now or risk losing out on players while waiting for benteke to go?

Do we know the timeframe the club has given for a club to come in with the cash for Benteke?

I was going to say, I'd wait on the outcome of that.

He's on some sort of charge too isn't he? Can't remember what. May have been assault.

Correct, cross both off, neither has the personality to fit in with what we're doing.

He was accused just after the season finished I think. I remember thinking it was hilarious that QPR would have been looking to sell him on to get some money back and then he basically makes himself untouchable!
