Just to respond to an earlier question about wages in the Jupiler Pro League, less than ten players I would say earn a salary of €1m and I doubt Benteke was among the top earners at the time of his departure. Anderlecht pay the best wages - the likes of Jovanovic, Mbokani, De Sutter and Biglia earn €1m+, a couple of players at Club Brugge and maybe the odd one at Standard or Genk. Back to Benteke, I'd still go with him against Serbia next month.

Thank you. He didn't play very well in either game against FYR Macedonia but the reason I labelled it harsh was that certain players are allowed 30 caps without ever really performing and are given an easier ride (Hazard). In my view, he remains the best man to play up front ahead of Lukaku or Vossen or even Mboyo but Wilmots will have to work out how to make him chime better with Hazard and De Bruyne. After all, he's only as good as the service he gets from those behind him but his international career is still very much in its infancy.

I decided to revisit the subject of Benteke for BeNeFoot. I hope you enjoy the article: http://www.benefoot.net/aston-villa-benteke-my-young-player-of-the-year/

You're right to point out the aspect of him being booed but I would say it was often harsh on a young player and unjustified as it continued at Genk even when he was banging the goals in.

As you may have already seen, I wrote an article on my blog about Christian Benteke, with whom Aston Villa have been linked with. http://blauwzwartmauverouche.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/aston-villa-target-christian-benteke-involved-in-transfer-stand-off-with-racing-genk/ I hope it goes some way at least to answering people's questions about him.
