PaulC Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 11 hours ago, TheAuthority said: 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. At his best Benteke is an asset but he was a total disgrace yesterday and cost Palace 2 pts. No goals since May I think I wouldn't want him back because you don't know which Benteke will turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit OTT, he'd murder this division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Yep, the top scorer in the Championship is Leon Clarke ffs, with the likes of Vydra, Gary Hooper etc all in double figures. Adomah has 10 goals from a wide position. Benteke would score goals for fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted December 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2017 Would have him back in a heartbeat but would never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 He wouldn't need to be overly motivated to score a lot of goals at this level IMO, the defences are absolute garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Jim know it won't happen but if we got benteke I think we get promoted. He is the difference and the fans would flood villa park with a marquee loan signing like tekkers cant see many clubs wanting him...

If he came jan 1st I would back him to get 15 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember that year when Angel missed two penalties against Fulham? That was x10 worse than what tekkers did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa82 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Suspended after his 5th yellow. Or was that last booking just a cover up, after he signed a loan deal with us for the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2018 Looks a shadow of his former self. Wonder if we could buy him if we go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Depends on the price. He needs motivating and may be a bit risky but cheap enough and sure yeah it may pay off. Think we could get better tbh if we do go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his first poor season in English football (he scored 17 last year in a crappy CP team.) If he does leave the PL there will be clubs from all over Europe after him - Championship my arse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Failed at a big club and now seems to have lost all motivation and ambition after dropping down. We have signed enough of them. Avoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 As much as i loved him during his stay, theres no doubt that dude fell off. Frustrates me whenever i watch him now, he had a lot of those types of games and performances when he was with us too, they're just a lot more frequent now. Thanks but no thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 It is the injuries that have affected him most I feel. Seems to have lost the physical edge he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
