Hey ho. Unfortunately I can see this bloke being as good as Drogba in a few years. Off he goes, it was all just a bit inevitable. Enjoyed it whilst it lasted.
Saw him vs Swansea and said to the lad we won't keep him next year and got him the Benteke shirt a few days later. To me he was obviously going to be that good.
Think one more year would have been the right move for him with us and then go. However, if he stayed we would have been totally reliant on him and then to lose the main focus of the the last 2 years of play could have left us very fragile.
Let's hope a new exciting style of play and fresh new signings help us more in the long term.
Heads up! UTV.
