villaglint Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 He was excellent again, a cut above everything else we have. Yesterday I specifically told myself to enjoy watching him play for us because we've only got another 23 games with this privaledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 His movement to get a yard or two on a defender is great. When he moves, he'll score bag-loads in a good team. Future CL winner here, for sure. Enjoy it fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 He's the complete centre forward really. If he can brush up on his finishing then he will be word class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 That first time effort that fizzed past the post first half deserved better Expected him to finish his one on one, and that header from Grealish's find, but Schmikes had a blinder to be fair. Goal against the boggies for 3rd year running me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted December 8, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2014 Drogba like striker with years left at the top of his game, frightening prospect. If he continues to improve he will be worth £30m + by the end of this season...................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I hope he ends up at a decent club and doesn't end up earning £150,000 a week to sit on a bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'd have accepted him moving to Dortmund last summer if he'd stayed fit, had a blinder of a World Cup and they'd paid £30m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Constant talk of him going is boring. When he actually had the chance to go, with a scoring record up there with Messi and Ronaldo guess what happened? That's right, he stayed. Lets just enjoy him and worry about it if/when it happens. And yes, he was quality yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I was worried that his injury might make him a different (read "less good") player, but he's picking up right where he left off. If anything he's looking sharper so far this season than he did for most of last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Could Man City come in for Benteke in January? They need a quality striker and he can play in the Champions League. Obviously dont want it to happen but just have an feeling it could happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Could Man City come in for Benteke in January? They need a quality striker and he can play in the Champions League. Obviously dont want it to happen but just have an feeling it could happen No way, not with FFP. They will need to sell before they can buy. Anyway, City are only a really good team with one up front and I can't see Benteke wanting to be a bench warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benteke would give more to Man City that Dezko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Curtis Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Frank Worthington It's an example I use whenever I see a player basically trying to do too much and I think that concerned me about Benteke yesterday, basically tried to do everything. Frank Worthington? Well in the late 70's I saw him play for sha and he had to do everything, free kick, corner , throw in even goal kick onecI think. It was basically him or no one and my worry with CB was he was trying too much Frank Worthington was another player with incredible skill and ball control. Having Benteke in the team after his long absence is like reaching an oasis in the desert. Edited December 11, 2014 by George Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suttonpaul Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 The perfect place for Benteke was Chelsea in summer 2014 before they signed Costa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think arsenal would be mad to not go for him this summer. He'll get 20+ goals for them and give them a strength they lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I know what you are saying Steve but there's a danger there that without him we become even more lost and without ideas. I'd just like others to take a bit of the pressure off him is what I think I mean It's difficult for others to take the pressure off him because he's the only world class player we have. He is a complete striker, physically and technically, and is certainly miles ahead of any of our other players which is why we see such a difference when he plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was getting caught offside a fair bit against Leicester the commentators were saying it was poor him being offside all the time. I couldn't decide whether it was Benteke or that those playing the ball were a bit slow to see the pass. Probably sometimes one, sometimes the other but it's got to be frustrating if you view the game much quicker than teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
