What, is Azerbajan the new sponsor of Atletico Madrid?? Bizarre.
Another country with loads of oil money and no intent on sharing with its population.
Most of the locals in those countries are looked after - well in Dubai for instance all the 'Emiratis' are given whatever they need. They just shaft literally everyone else.
I'd take Forlan now in a heartbeat.
but to go from Villa to Benteke makes no sense whatsoever.....completely different players
if Villa was the man AVB wanted, then how is it that Benteke will suit our needs perfectly? I could understand it if lets say we desperately wanted Benteke, but he chose to go elsewhere and then we turned our attentions to someone like Dzeko for example. Or as Villa was the main target we missed out on, so we now go for Hernandez at Utd. That makes sense
very strange
What have Benteke and Dzeko got in common? Other than being forwards? Have you watched Benteke? Incredible workrate, great movement, scores goals and can play on the front foot or with back to goal. Plus with good coaching he will be even better. Again, think Ferdinand in his proper Newcash prime meets Drogba!
What you have missed about Villa is that it is wholly possible he would've been played left of a front three, interchanging with Bale...we will never know and it's history now. But don't make the mistake of thinking that Benteke and Dzeko are similar players mate...

thats exactly the player Dzeko was at Wolfsburg......dont be fooled by what you have seen at City. The move to City has fcuked him up. Price tag, pressure, not being first choice. It just hasnt worked out
At Wolfsburg he was signed by Felix Magath and anyone who knows Magath knows that he cannot stand slackers, he is one of the most demanding managers ever. Dzeko and Grafite were a phenomenal partnership and Wolfsburg won the title. His movement, goals, every type of goal, the work rate for the team was brilliant. I guess Dzeko was what Lewandowski is right now. Its such a shame to see whats become of him
Benteke himself will have a huge task in living up to the 25 mill price tag, plus playing for a bigger club. Dont discount such influences
