I guess we’re clinging to the hope he comes full of enthusiasm and energy. its like some team buying Hogan off us, based on what he did at Brentford that one season. If only we could find such a team. Having a player who could possibly be a hangover from 4 goals in 65 games, is what I call a real gamble. We want effervescence around the place not melancholy.

No sane club would buy or loan an injured striker on big wages who doesnt score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Funny coincidence, my lad installed FIFA 16 on the Xbox to see how it compares to FIFA 19 he’s been playing for a while. We had a game of Classic 11 (Pele, Maradona etc) versus World 11 (Messi, Ramos etc). On the bench for the world 11 was none other than Christian Benteke. Shows he really was on the cusp of greatness but it just didn’t happen at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Feet Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Just seen On sky sports app a French club has turned down the chance to loan him because they didn’t want to pay £500k fee, we really should take a chance for that money and get him in the squad asap, it’s a drop in the ocean for a premier league club. We really just need a body upfront to put them self about a little and hold it up for Jack. Really silly if we don’t get him imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Palace are the joint lowest goalscorers in the league & are not exactly blessed with a squad full of forwards, They have Ayew who scores a goal every 4 games or so, Conor Wickham who has scored 3 goals in 3 years and barely kicked a ball in that time and have just signed Tosun on loan who has managed about 8 goals in 2 years of english football. Other than Benteke that is the extent of their forward options (excluding Zaha as more of a winger) and yet still they are happy to let Benteke go out on loan. Should tell you all you need to know really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
