Wasn't my point mate.Benteke is past it. You may as well stick a pole up front it will move more.

who is WJ
I'm sorry but there are obviously players out there who are available and who Mourinho does think are good enough. He thought Piatek was good enough, Giroud was good enough, that Jose chap was good enough and for all we know one or two others. All were deemed good enough, they must have been because according to the ITK we received, we were in negotiations with them, their clubs and their agents. So, good enough and available.
Its time people stopped making this shithouse excuse for Levy. When they are available he won't pony up so not only Is it 'difficult' to begin with, it's double difficult. That's not to say he should overpay left right and centre but you'd think now and again won't have us being careful what we wish for or doing a Leeds, we're not talking tens of millions here.
EDIT: But there's still a few hours to go so you never know
Herc, I love your posts I really do, but every time you post an acronym we get a whole stream of posts asking who e.g. WJ or OG are and even more people answering.SNIPPET TO THE TWO DEALS WE DONE
1. This remarkable GF 18 month deal, all down to JM and his relationship with Benfica. JM, and I agree believes he will be a massive success. He has known him since a kid. What age I don’t know
2. SB, was his contacts and agent’s homework. Given to DL to dot the ‘i’s’ and cross the ‘t’s’
3. WJ was his suggestion
I would rather no one then a benteke for example. Hopefully there is someone out there we are keeping tabs on for the summer
I know.Wasn't my point mate.
4 options and not getting 1 by looks of it!If Benteke was short term option, I'd much rather have him for half a season than no one.
Anyway yesterday dragon1 said we have 4 options now, giroud, balotelli , lloriente and one orther who looks united bound now. What is general word on these? Any rumours moving them elsewhere? If not, these might still be options?

We decided not to go for Piatek mateBenteke is past it. You may as well stick a pole up front it will move more.
Having 31 days to sign some kind of striking option, even if it's just as a stopgap, and failing to do so, for a club of our stature...is pathetic. Nothing more needs to be said.
hope for the best but expect nothing.
If Mourinho wasn't sure on a player why would we be trying to sign them. Are you suggesting that none of the suspects we were negotiating for were players Mourinho wasn't sure about? I find that difficult to believe.Completely disagree mate. There’s no point buying a striker that Mourinho is not fully sure on. Levy had to deal with getting rid of Janssen and Soldado for losses. He’s been bitten; we’re not very good at recruiting them.
Piatek went to Hertha. It’s hardly a competitor at our level (perceived or actual).
Tbh I’d rather Dele played there than any of the names suggested.
Which genuinely good enough striker have you seen move clubs for a reasonable fee/ deal this window, a deal you’d be happy with at Spurs for a player who will only ever be second choice?agreed, but people seem to think its a good window!
I see what you did there.Benteke is past it. You may as well stick a pole up front it will move more.
