None of those people you listed are 'ITK'. I know, and I say as much. And yes, judging by the tone he is guessing. The point was out of the hundreds of similar twitter posts on the same matter at the moment, he has slightly more gravitas than a lot of others, even if he is guessing. Incidentally I am not guessing only posting the only rumours doing the rounds this evening (but it the last time I do), I have no view on it. But as you are indeed mutuals with him you will know that Ty Bracey posted a lot of ITK stuff in the summer that was very close to the mark ahead of the general noise around targets (in particular Jack Butland). We all know that until its announced there is plenty of wriggle room for everyone speculating, ITK or pretending to be ITK. It would be very dull without the window speculation though eh?

useless Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Benteke might actually happen, Telegraph have said we've asked about him, but Palace want to bring in a replacement first, well now it looks like they're getting Tosun from Everton. We need more than one striker, I think he'd be a good choice as back-up or rotate with whichever other striker we sign. It's too simplistic to look at his goalscoring record with Palace and say that he isn't very good anymore, there's more to it than that.

nnock1984 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Smith has always been confident of a striker before the Man City game that would mean we could well get a signing tomorrow! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. The multiple ligament and other injuries probably contributed. If it was some random and not Benteke we were linked with that had 5 goals in last 2 and a half seasons people would rightfully be losing their minds at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Benteke coming back to Villa and picking up where he left off would be a fairy tale. Fairy Tales aren't particularly realistic though.

It will prob get the crowd all riled up n rowdy bringing Teke back, having him at the front he'd no doubt have a heroes welcome, hopefully he will then realise at that moment he shouldn't of ever gone anywhere and start firing them in. I hope that's how it will work with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but spend what hopefully is a small ammount bringing him back, imagine if he does rediscover himself, if anyone deserves another go here isn't it Benteke??

ThunderPower_14 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I'd be happy to get Benteke back. He was outstanding for us and kept us up in a couple of seasons we rightfully should have been relegated. Positive vibes from fans who have good memories of him could do him wonders. He'd be cheap as well. I'd hope he's not the only striker we bring in though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
