Whilst I can see Benteke leaving, he'll go to wherever offers the best wages. A swap with Lambert is just ridiculous, if they want we'll take Ballotelli too! He's got to be worth £30m+.

We need 4-5 new players who are better than what we have in the first 11.
Assuming Benteke & Cleverley go, along with Weimann, Lowton, Cissohko, Cole & Gil.
Others who could go are Given / Guzan, Vlar, Richardson & Senderos

We need a first choice left back, right back, central defender, right side midfield, defensive midfield & centre forward.

We finished where we did because we couldn't beat the likes of Burnley, QPR, Sunderland, Stoke, Palace, Newcastle at home. Even those we did win, few of them were comfortable.

My concern is that Sherwood has no track record in the transfer market, he may be brilliant but he may also be shite. It will be interesting to see what he does.

Bin dippers are going to use 33 year old no mark Ricky Lambert as 'bait' in their alleged bid for Benteke. That should seal it then. Wankers.

I imagine like the crew on the bridge of the Enterprise the board are bracing themselves for the fax ring and that magnificent offer to come through. I'll only believe it though if they offer us Lambert and £5m for Benteke and Delph. Then I will know they are serious.

According to Telegraph we have bid 3.5 mill for Ben Gladwin and Massimo Luongo from Swindon both midfielders.

Swindon Chairman was quoted as saying both could move next week. Both highly rated.

By all accounts Gladwin was always Sherwood's top target not Luongo. He looks versatile and can even play left back!

He is better than Ads.

Was Ads all that bad in hindsight?
Well it's not that tactically he was clueless and had almost no ability even to motivate a cuckoo clock to call at mid day it was the way he manipulated his contract to walk away with £35M in compensation that pisses me off about him.

 Have a word with your relative Percy.Redmond is getting better and better every time i see him, and i think can develop into this inside forward player we are after who can score goals.

  Whatever our budget is in the summer, we desperately need someone, apart from CB to score goals.Gabby, Weimann, N'Zog, Grealish, Sinclair.........what 10 goals?

No aversion to getting in talented kids from league 1. But are either better than Daniel Johnson?

I was hoping boro would win so we could buy redmond.

If my spellcheck had changed 'boro' to 'biro' one more time the phone was out the window

Why would Benteke want to sign for the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'? I think his next move will include CL.

If the answer is Ricky Lambert then it's a stupid question.

I'm beginning to think that if the answer is anybody with Lambert as a surname then it's a guaranteed stupid question.

Might Benteke to Liverpool  be more realistic if Klopp gets the gig? If I were the owners I wouldn't trust Rodgers with a dime at the moment; his transfer business last summer was mainly appalling.

He didn't buy the players this fabled "transfer committee" did and the same thing happens @ Man City and Spurs

I stand corrected thanks. But basically I still wouldn't want that pseudo intellectual managing my club. Which fortunately, he isn't.
