Rob182 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 If we can get a playmaker in before the window shuts to create plenty of chances for Benteke, he could reach 30. Without one I think he'll get 20.30 goals in one season? He's good but for us there is no way that will happen.. Have many ever done it? Ronaldo, maybe Rooney and Henry?30 in all comps no? He was only 7 off last year Didn't he also score a few for Genk last season, before he came to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) 27 in all competitions technically if you include the ones for Genk in 12/13. 30 goals in all competitions is definitely achievable 13/14 if he doesn't get injured and we go on some decent cup runs.

ForeroGabe Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Going to be a bit more exact and say 32 in all comps as we'll go far in the cups this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'm gonna go with 31. I think he can surpass 30, which is what RVP got last seaaon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I hope he scores 35, then we can ask for 70m from Real Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 25, sadly I don't think we'll do much in the cups this year so will be mostly league goals. We need someone to break the 20 league goal barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think he will get 21 league goals this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Well Messi scord 85 goals in a calendar year last year, so Id say he should be aiming to beat that. Edited September 1, 2013 by AndyM3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2013 He's got 27 at the moment for us - Gabby has 74 - if he stayed, who do you think would get to 100 first? - It'd be great to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'd probably say that Gabby will get 100 first. I reckon he should be aiming for 15 this year, and I presume he'll start being more selfish as we start winning games. As much as I like Benteke, Gabby deserves all the praise in the world for the way he's been for our club. Benteke is good, but he's never going to stay even though we achieve things - much like Bale for Tottenham. I reckon Tottenham will easily get to the CL this year, but money talks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommy Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Arsenal made an approach for him with hours left on the transfer window according to the mailAny truth in that? Highly unlikely, imo. I don't know how they would expect to begin and complete such a massive deal and contract negotiations within a few hours. For example, the Fellaini deal was completed last night but the bid and personal terms took days to agree. I think it much more likely that the paper had a couple of centimetres to fill and chose a throw away line involving a favourite club of theirs and one of this season's hottest players; a line they knew neither club would bother to sue about. I'd love the local press to write that we'd rejected a late £50m bid or that a £45m bid had been accepted but Benteke refused to leave our mighty club - I suspect there would be as much truth in it. After he had signed a new contract, concern about Benteke leaving this summer was always going to be unnecessary. Like worrying about a car journey or perhaps taking a flight - the worst can happen but the chances are so low as to render concern pointless.

Jarpie Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Besides, it'd taken probably 50-60 million offer just to get our club to consider selling and I doubt Wenger is stupid enough to make offer anything less than that month after he signed new contract.
