That's typically how these things work. They will use the freed up wage budget and the transfer money to buy adebayor and possibly townsend as well.

Agreed, just for some reason it didn't hit me until someone else pointed it out.
Benteke will go to the scousers and will be a massive flop.
With that money, Timmy buys Ade and Townsend for 20M combined.
Sucess.

Adebayor and townsend to win a cup in the next season?
When has Benteke ever been awesome against us? I can't remember. He has scored once against us, the last game, and I think he's only played 3 times against us(?), and got sent off one of them.
Can't remember him doing much else in these games either
We beat them 4-0 and 2-1 n the EPL, when he was playing. He didn't score that goal either.
I think to say he was awesome against us is a bit of an exagerration.
If Liverpool really do buy Benteke for £32.5m, it just confirms how crazy the market has become, with the top 4 desperately one-upping one another, overspending on transfers that get plastered all over the papers and twitter.
Yet I am glad to not be a fan of those clubs. Surely the whole thing becomes rather sickening after a while - and establishes itself as the 'norm' rather than something particularly 'brave' or exciting. A Man City supporting friend of mine (lifelong, not plastic, I hasten to add) wanted nothing to do with Sterling. Particularly not for that fee or those wages.
For sure, if there's a great prospect that becomes available for £20m - £25m or so, then I hope we take a calculated risk on such a player; but sums like that are starting to appear modest in the current, frenzied climate.
So I'm reminded of Petyr Baelish from Game of Thrones, and that our philosophy (for the time being) may well echo his:
We have to be smarter, shrewder than the rest of our competition. From the looks of how we've been operating this transfer window (and the habit of Liverpool, City, and Man U to apparently buy the most obvious, unimaginative signings possible) we're clearly trying to do so.

If I remember correctly the first game against them last season he scored and hit the bar against us. One of his first games back I think. Looked like scoring a few that day. I think Kane scored the deflected free kick to win in the end.
Would love for Townsend's shots to start going in and Adebayor, if he stays and plays, to kill it too.
I would really be happy if Townsend clicked like we all expected him to do.

This video just makes me sad and at the same time makes me think there is still hope. Haha.

He bullied our team the whole time when we played them at home this season, a constant threat and nuisance
Nobody likes a bully.
Does nobody think Charlie Austin would do a good job? Seems wasted at Newcastle and scored goals when QPR were shit last season.
Surely having him wash harry kanes boots is a bigger waste?
So you're saying we don't need a striker then?
Benteke has gone to Manure!Benteke will go to the scousers and will be a massive flop.

I'd take him.
