Already knows the club and a section of fans still love him as well. I'm guessing alot of fans would prefer Benteke on the bench, over current options? I think his current wages at palace is on par with Jacks. He would give us an edge in the air, bit I think that boat has left the harbour. He was immense for us, but always being linked with a move to London, for the life, I presume.....sadly for me, I remember his insipid offering at Wembley in that final and it won't go away. No not for me. Edited May 23, 2021 by TRO 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mazrim Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 Benteke is playing for a new contract. As soon as he's signed that fir whoever, he'll go back to mugging it off.He's a lazy journeyman now, absolutely not what we need. Had his shot at greatness, blew it, just going through the motions now. Villa had the absolute best of him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Re: De Arrascaeta. I'm really intrigued by him and understand why others are too. I also understand why others urge caution. Yes, we're judging from YT videos but what sets him apart is the sheer audacity of attempting the sorts of things he does, never mind executing them. You can't fake that. It's rare ralent. Proper X Factor stuff. And that captures the imagination. This is entertainment to a degree, after all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Benteke of the last 12/13 games was like the Benteke that left us. His all round game was solid. And he was scoring goals. As a short term filler option he'd be solid IMO. Depends on wages of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Right Owners 400 mill pot of gold it is then thankyou very much, 200 mill each from you Wes and Nas and were all good to go . Some good solid cash injection, some good solid spending and some good solid players coming in will see us transform and evolve like a Pokémon.

Tammy and Ollie give us so many options up front. A front four containing Tammy, Ollie, Jack and an upgrade on Traore is a front four that gives us a chance of getting to the next level. Tammy and Ollie play different roles so I think they could work really well together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. We lost 1-2 and 0-2 to City which is no disgrace. We lost to Utd down in part down to two soft penalties - especially the first one. Everyone will remember our win against Liverpool but we also only lost 1-2 in the rematch. 4 points against Chelsea. A win and a lose against Leicester and Spurs (again partly down to a very dodgy penalty). 6 points against Arsenal. 4 points against Everton. Which only really leaves West Ham as the only team in the top half that we failed against. We should absolutely be pointing that out to potential signings. Hopefully it has turned around the atmosphere at the club too - always good to finish a season on a high. I'm back in positive mode now. Four really good signings, the addition of Carney to the main squad and a couple of squad signings and we've got the potential to really kick on next season. Hopefully it will also help prove to Jack that we are worthy of another season!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas is worth about 7 times as much as Wes, so that would be pretty crap for Wes...lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
