Injured or injured like Kodjia I think there is a difference at this time of year! Tekkers was in my dream last night probably because I was thinking about the El Ghazi header at 0-0 and how Tekkers would have buried it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 8 hours ago, Stevo985 said: Very true. 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. Bang on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Don't care, as long as we get someone else in. Surely worth punting on someone who will be supported massively by the fans. Had a swagger when he played for us which has not been replicated elsewhere. Fan support breeds confidence in many players. It's worth a punt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I want to be as romantically nourished as the next man when it comes to benteke returning to b6 but he's done nothing since he left us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Tekkers would be a masterstroke. He will only play well for us. Absolutely sure of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Benteke is currently injured with no scheduled return date. No chance he is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept Palace up with his goals in his first season with them(a Palace fan's words not mine) and was able to gain a more than respectable 169 minutes per goal in the PL with Liverpool Edited January 13, 2020 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I think 'done nothing' is a bit of an exaggeration, if anything his season at Liverpool (where ultimately he just didn't suit Klopp's style) and his first at Palace he continued with pretty much the same form as he had with us.

I know you hate him and seem to have an odd obsession with criticising him and any poster who wants him to sign. In my opinion, when he came to us, wanted to use us as a stepping stone. Cant argue as arsenal were more successful than us and arguably bigger at the time. He got his move and plop ruined him. Didnt play to his syrengths and dropped him like a stone. Confidence dropped massively. Went palace and didnt deliver again was dropped instantly. Confidence shattered . Imagine the buzz around VP for his debut. Grealish linking up with him. I think it would work! Sincerest apologies once more for having a different opinion to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 For me its like the Milner love in all over, its a ome sided thing. Benteke doesnt love Villa and he won't come here and automatically be a new player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Feet Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I’m all for bringing back Benteke, I think it’s reasonable at this difficult time to recruit but I have also formulated a better plan. Here goes... we swap Neil Taylor for Crystal Palace’s other striker Jordan Ayew just like Swansea did to us! Genius I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
