Why. If it’s the big move he can get then I can see him going. Doing well there can also send him back to Europe again. They pay good wages.

There's genuine interest from clubs in the best league in the world right now, he's not going to move to a backwater instead.

An MLS team trying to sign our star striker and not the other way round?

The game has well and truly gone. 

So have we lost Jones and Doak? Do we have anyone fit enough to step in on the right?

I think Latte is more interested in the money than league

Anything to support that whatsoever?

 It really. We’ve just not gone forward and they have.

Concrete interest from Ipswich who have a bigger chance of going down than staying up. MLS pay very handsome salaries he’d be getting 4/5 times what he’s on here

Concrete interest from West Ham, who aren't going down and will pay much better.

Benteke is one of the highest paid players in the entire league on $4. 4m a year, which is about £70,000 a week.

He's a much bigger name than Latte Lath and had spent the best part of a decade playing in the biggest league in the world, Latte Lath wouldn’t get the same offer.

I'll eat my hat if he goes to the MLS.

I presume you mean 70k a week?

He’d also be a record buy in the mls not a 34 year old. Hey ho we’re not going to agree, hopefully he doesn’t leave anyway much rather him stay here 👍

All well and good them offering him a higher salary, however the deals never getting done if Atlanta don’t pay us the fee we want. I can’t see £15mill being enough.

The entire wage bill for the full Atlanta United squad is £13m.

Middlesbrough's is £31m, ours includes non-playing staff too, but it's still substantially more than theirs.

That's us as a perennial Championship club.

If he's in it for the money like you're all claiming, he'll go to the Premier League, he'll earn more and he'd have the chance of an even bigger move.
