Nicklas Helenius

[not3bad]

I know YouTube can make a donkey look like a race horse but blimey does this Nicklas Helenius look a very skilfu playerl for such a big bloke.

Can he do a decent robot dance when he scores that's what I want to know.

Why does it take 10 days? Surely personal terms shouldn't be that hard to discuss?

Maybe he's off on holiday.

Or faulkner may be away , no need to rush at this time of year.

He was at Bodymore with Paul Faulkner

I've got an old settee needs shifting, I reckon Benteke will be off.

Wrong sort of furniture son ;)

I just like fighting. Benteke to Spurs, £9m.

Maybe he's with the Denmark squad.

We wont get that much.

We'll be lucky to get them to swap Dawkins for him.

It'll be interesting to see how Benteke copes playing under floodlights.

We've put in a dual bid for Dickus and Incontinentia Buttocks.

Can't say i'm too impressed exchanging a kid for Bent presumably. Could all turn pear-shaped if benteke gets crocked, or he has a shit season. Bent is a proven premier striker after all. I think Lambert's sailing very close to the wind personally if this happens.

I see it as an upgrade on Bowery more than anything else. Who knows, he might actually be quite good Greg.  Danish international already at a young age. 

If he's gash, he won't have cost us much anyway. 

We've already got three decent forwards.  If one of Gabby, Benteke or Weimann gets injured, we might change the formation up top, or Tonev comes in  wide.  Our attacking options look well covered now. It's further back where we still look short.

You seriously thought Lambert would go for any other option?

How exactly? Bent was injured for large chunks of the last 2 seasons, and then not used for other chunks. When he played, he looked awkward in our system too. So far Tonev and this lad are coming in to supplement the forward options which will also include Gabby, Weimann and NZogbia still, plus Benteke. We could not possibly carry the wages and in fairness quality of Bent on the bench for another season. He is better than that in a side that plays to his strengths, and we get someone who suits our game.

Well i'd have hoped next season didn't rely on Benteke continuing to score 19 goals  because lets face it, we still have the same defence and if he's out we got erm... gabby, Bowery and Weimann.  Probably get 19 in total.

Don't forget the Fonz.

Also, you make it sound like the transfer window's already shut. It's only just begun and we've already signed one player and shown significant interest in another, it's not as if we won't sign new defenders.
