I've thought about this a little bit and maybe we should let him go. If we get an offer of something close to £30m, we should take it.
If he stays, he could have another great season. But I doubt we'd be able to sell him for much more than that price. There is every chance, however, that he won't be as prolific next season. He could hit a loss of form or pick up injuries, and if that happens his value would go down.
We are trying to rebuild the team at the moment and having an extra £30m in the kitty would help enormously Lambert could pick up some more cheap gems but also a few highly rated, experienced players, who could really strengthen the side.
I love Benteke, he's been great. And if he stays it would be brilliant to see if he can do the business again. But it would have to be viewed as a bit of a risk, and maybe I'd be happier with the money.
