Bowen & Drinkwater are on their way. Definitely. I heard that off a good source. ( my mate down the pub who's brothers mate is a steward at Villa Park )

I laugh in the face of ITK that's from a source below the level of mate of a mate that knows Smith's next door neighbour.

If Drinkwater was "definitely" on his way, he wouldn't be on Burnley's bench today.

He may sign, but the fact that he is in their squad suggests it isn't a done deal.

Big Chris fancies a move, it seems: https://twitter.com/chrisbenteke/status/1212091095879995392
If that’s the player who we got I’d be very very happy.

Wouldn't be the worst signing in the world would it?  Especially after what has happened to Wesley today. Palace will probably put the price up now though!

I suppose the injury to Wesley and it doesn’t look good and the fact his replacement is the worst player at the club means we will be forced/Have to take a dive into the transfer or loan market now

After today might need 2 strikers and a keeper :(

The romanticist in me would hope that Tekkers coming back 'home' would reinvigorate him. For whatever reason Woy has never rated him. I'm not sure Dean would either, because sometimes you have to let Benteke have a bit of a stroll in games. We indulged him in a way Liverpool were never going to, and indeed Palace under Woy.
I dunno. I'd love to see him back and going on the same kind of scoring runs he used to have from January onward with us.
It's january. We're not rolling in cash. Are there many potentially better players available who know the league?

I'd expect incomings before our next league game.

I have nothing to base this on. I am not itk. I just think this will happen.

I was row S, but right inline with the Mee tackle on Wesley. Looked very heavy and clumsy, with Wesley in a lot of pain.

I think Benteke on loan now, as well as whoever the primary target was, is now a must.

Considering his crotch went through Wesley's knee, I figured it would be a yellow.

I can see Benteke working out, we should go for him.

He's out for a few weeks, though. Would rather we had someone in for the Man City game, at the latest. I'm not against the idea of bringing Benteke back in principal, but can't be arsed to pay massive wages while he sits in the physio room.

Benteke and Bowen? We probably need the pair now that Wes is injured.

Crazy idea to buy an injured player, we need someone that can play not sit in the treatment room.
