The pass, the off the ball run and the finish are all outstanding.

I don't think FFP will affect us this summer as we have Bentys massive contract coming off the wage books so there's room for at least 1 big earner.

In which case we'd be throwing a good chunk of it at Benteke, but I suspect in the aftermath of the near financial armageddon post MON/Houllier, there's a quite rigid wage structure in place which if broken would lead to all sorts of follow on consequences with others wanting to maintain parity or at least differential.

And that would take us straight back to somewhere we've just spent 4 years getting away from.

Finally found Milner's replacement. He could be better.

We really need to pull out all the stops to keep him. He's playing so well that many a club will be after him

Didn't think I'd ever say this but I'd be gutted if he doesn't stay. He certainly looks the £8m player Yanited wanted for him.

Have to say that him and Delph are both showing England form. The finish was really top quality and his overall game was exceptional.

Sign him up. Another player who has confounded many critics and grown into something potentially special in a short few months. Refound his Wigan/Watford form as well in front of goal which will do us no harm. Get him locked in Foxy!

May be so but I can't see who he would go to? The current top 5 will not go for him and that only leaves Spurs and Everton. Spurs are far too up their own arse to go for him they will be spunking it on a third rate Brazilian and after yesterday he should not touch Martinez with a barge pole.

I could see Spurs going for him. But I am hopeful he'll feel settled here

Merson on soccer Saturday said he will be going to a team further south than us next season because of his gf comes from essex.
So he needs to dump her and hitch up with with a classy bird from Brum

Then why all the constant rumours that he had his heart set on Everton.  Truth is no one really knows and especially not Paul Merson.

Paul Merson is a very lucky man to have gainful employment as a TV pundit considering his lack of brain cells.

Very true Peter.  The finish was nothing sort of sensational.
