There's Palace chance around 6m mark and he is stationary behind 3 Newcastle defenders. Just ball watching He ballwatched plenty at his best. And he was always offside. Still loved him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If this happens, I will be confident that Crystal Palace got the better deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's was palace's only shot on goal and it was well parried back to him, he then passes it back into the danger area. He may no be Drogba but hes far from past it judging from that Newcastle video. He's far better than Kodjia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Let’s face it, if Benteke was any good these days, no way would Hodgson be contemplating letting him go. Hodgson is no fool, he’s experienced enough to know a good striker when he sees one, and he desperately needs more goals at Palace. This is all just a lot of romantic nonsense in my view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's keeping this team up isn't the striker option(s) we land in January. It's going to be the team improving overall.

Kiwivillan Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Non-blinkered neutral view of laughable idea of Benteke to Spurs "While Benteke has attributes, Spurs need someone to come in and hit the ground running. They can’t afford to have someone taking time to settle in, nor can they have someone woefully out of form like Benteke is." https://tbrfootball.com/tbr-view-spurs-should-absolutely-say-no-to-christian-benteke/ Spurs fans reaction tweets https://tbrfootball.com/tottenham-fans-react-as-club-are-reportedly-offered-crystal-palaces-christian-benteke/ Edited January 12, 2020 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted January 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2020 He was always better in the second half of the season. I wouldn’t be against him coming back as it would lift both fans and the player. We would also need another striker coming in too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then once it becomes obvious that he’s no longer the same player he was/limps off, we will all fall into a deep depression and lament our sentimentality. We will then berate the club for not seeing it as sentimentality and not signing a decent, fit striker instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would probably be thinking, if this useless twonk is the answer we are doomed. And the fans? For the first minute when he steps out of the tunnel maybe until they see him try and play football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted January 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2020 If Benteke comes here it's because Dean Smith can see he has the desire to get his form back - I know there's been injuries but there was with Mings - so IF he comes back, I'm all for it - let alone the history we have with him. Also, can't be any worse than Davis, and we need bodies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
