It only makes sense to me if they did it to sell him pretty quickly for a fee rather than let him leave on a free transfer. This. Whole point of additional year was so they wouldnt make a huge loss on him. Think they lost hope with him a long time ago, but felt they could at least recoup some of their outlay to some random Turkish club or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elton Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 A fan at the ground early on Twitter has tweeted this: ‘Just spoke to Christian Purslow and said “is benteke coming back?” All he said was “0 assists, 0 goals” Hope it’s true.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The scene is set for Benteke to save us once more. #BringBenHome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But should we be aiming to sign someone who is simply "better than no striker at all" Or should we be trying to sign someone a bit better. If it wasn't for the fact he'd played for us, we'd be absolutely livid at the suggestion of signing Benteke. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Benteke ends up as being the only striker we sign, well, we're going straight back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitzlsperger_12 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 If Benteke does sign, he gets my full backing. With the talent we have on the wings, he will score but more importantly, his hold up play is a lot more rounded than Wesley's and that could be more vital than his goals in allowing us to get up the pitch and starting playing more in the final third.

rodders0223 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'd get him signed, not because I think he will be the Benteke of old - the guy is anti goals. I'd get him signed as we need 2 strikers, and probably this is the best we are going to get unless all the dominos fall on deadline day. Don't think we are in a position to be picky at this point.

What talent? El Ghazi is ok. Trezeguet is awful. Agree about the holdup play, but I still think we should be aiming higher than Benteke. But of course, like you, he'd get my full support if he signed. And I'd be hoping as much as anyone that we get the old Benteke back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
