TRO Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 ah it is when it matters. there have been plenty of times now here he's been badly let down by it Pete, I think he has really good feet for a big man, but he has faultered in front of goal on couple of occassions, but the Lad is still settling in and interms of the PL is still learning. but hey I've seen world class players faulter too. I think we are going to be hard pressed to hang on to this boy when he settles in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Fantastic player and probably the only player in the squad worth getting excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 And some people on here wanted Carroll and Fletcher Its not happening for Carroll at the moment pretty much in the same way as Bent, but to then start judging Fletcher on today's game after the start to the season he has had is harsh.

Big_John_10 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Not sure how anyone can laugh at fletcher. Scored goals which is what he's been signed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regular_john Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Already becoming our best player and he's only 21! If he keeps going as he is he could be a superstar, and one that we'll struggle to hold on to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Its just very condescending and maybe a little insulting to suggest that fans don't know the difference between reality in a football club and something on a games console. Let the children play a little BJ10 before they are put to bed. Oh hypocrisy. How you taste so sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Immense today. I didnt see a ball he missed in a 50/50 jump, good runs, good passes. Fooking ell, we may have a star on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Oh hypocrisy. How you taste so sweet. Yes it was meant to be condescending in reply to similar posts referring to Carroll, Fletcher and Berbatov but at least i am honest enough to admit to it.

Hanky Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Benteke is starting to look the real deal. Had a couple of poor games after Swansea, but have to keep reminding myself he is only 21, and is still adapting to the league. Will hopefully be a key player for us in the coming years.

lexicon Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Lerner will be licking his lips at the thought of selling another asset. If Lerner sells him, he'll sell him for big money and get a good deal like the rest of our sales. Stop being pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 He's the leading goal-scorer in all competitions now, he seems to have achieved a level of comfort now and I hope he keeps improving. He has many strings to his bow,he's being compared to Drogba but he reminds me more of (in-form) Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 If Lerner sells him, he'll sell him for big money and get a good deal like the rest of our sales. Stop being pathetic. And put that money towards buying equally good players? I don't think there's anything pathetic about not being happy with how our top players have been sold and replaced with inferior quality.

blunther Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 He has come on a lot in the last few games. Looks a very competent player at the moment and is only getting better. A massive presence for us at the moment and I hope he continues to improve, I had my doubts a few weeks back but the lad(can't believe he is only 21!) is proving me wrong. Good for him.

Enda Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I don't think there's anything pathetic about not being happy with how our top players have been sold and replaced with inferior quality. Nothing wrong with that, but time and place and all that. This is a "Waheyyy we finally have a young player who's playing well" thread. Give it a rest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
