Winter transfer, gossip, speculation and usual butter ollocks thread

I thought we could only have one loan from another Premier League club. If that's right, it's been taken by Drinkwater so a loan for Benteke couldn't happen.

I thought it was two loans from PL, but max of 1 from any club - so we cant' loan Giroud but could take Salah or Aguero.

Let's do that, then.

Loan Salah and buy Aguero?

Benteke would have been a big no for me until Wesley's injury. Now, i'm thinking if we already have others lined up and it's just a signing to cover an injury i'd be happy. You have to think that the choice may not be too wide for an emergency 'additional' signing such as this (at this time) and the idea of someone coming in under those circumstances who has previously been a big favorite here is fine by me. Be very interesting to see what he can do in familiar and previously happy surroundings, although I'm not holding my breath.

Aguero is a bit injury prone. Loan him and buy Salah.

I don’t care what form Benteke is in, I will take him every day of the week against an “in-form” Wesley. He’s proved nothing and hasn’t impressed me at all. Benteke can at least strike a ball from 15+ yards, beat his defender and head a ball. I’ve seen it.

5 winning goals would be a great return...

We've all seen Kodjia do it too.  And a lot more recently than Benteke.

Have you seen what the "in-form" Benteke has been doing lately?

These last 5 pages on Benteke from Palace fans make an interesting read.

they love him

Not sure about Salah. He was hopeless at Chelsea. It would be a gamble.

You’ve seen Kodjia score 42 goals in the Premier League for us?

[DennisHodgetts]

Benteke on a loan deal is a no brainer to me. If we can get his confidence up and keep him fit we know what he is capable of. 35000 of us chanting Oh Christian Benteeekee ought to get his confidence up! This is less risky than most permanent  signings, especially from minor foreign leagues. Yes we need other younger forward options, but oh wouldn't it be great to see him playing Jack in with a one-two against Liverpool to win at Anfield. I can dream....

We do have the Egyptian link, so don’t write it off
