VillaChris Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Spurs wanted him. If he'd gone there Harry Kane wouldn't have come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 He scored 15 goals for Palace last season. That is pretty impressive. He is still a great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Benteke will always score goals, it's his all round game that just hasn't developed which means he's annually fighting relegation battles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the reason why Klopp didn't want him. Klopp was right to replace him with Mane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually 17. Pretty damn impressive. He needs to go to Everton, that would do them both the world of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We were his level i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Stoke or dare I say it West Brom would be decent fits aswell. I think he's probably just happy to be playing in London and his best buddy Hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted August 28, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) I think he'd be amazing at Chel$ki. Conte has made Victor Moses look good FFS. TBH he has a terrible agent. I know decent agents are hard to come by but if he had someone who actually knew a bit about football he could advise him a little better. Isn't his agent Eris Kismet? I think he is Benteke's former geography teacher from the DRC and also a used car salesman. Edited August 28, 2017 by TheAuthority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 He doesn't work hard enough to play for a top club. Too static! That's why Klopp got rid of him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Took the ball off a lad who had scored a penalty earlier and yes, Benteke's penalties have always been shit. Stupid ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Come back and get us promoted Benteke. Him+Kodjia would destroy the championship, and would be good in the premier league as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted December 9, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2017 I know some say it wouldn't be the same as 1st time around and he's no longer the same player (17 PL goals last season??) But I can't imagine a signing that would get the fan base as excited as CB coming back. He enjoyed his time here, smashed in loads of goals and I think he would tear the Championship apart. It's a win win IMO. Loan him with an agreement to buy him if we get promoted. If we don't he goes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Love the optimism folks and I am a big Benkeke fan, but I cannot see a loan signing like this in our present position. Firstly, I think Benteke would flatly refuse to play in the Championship during a World Cup season. Secondly, his salary must be best part of 100k a week, so even if Palace subsidised this, we couldn't do it with FFP. I would take him in a heartbeat, but just won't be happening. We are more than likely looking at loaning an u23 player from a top club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
