Player Valuation: £40m
Lets say we finish top 4 but lukaku still goes back to Chelsea.
Do you think we could lure benteke from villa, I know he's not had the best form at the moment but that could help in keeping the bigger boys away from him or do you think a spurs/arsenal would come after him and how much would he cost?
 
I think if we finished in the top 4, we'd have a decent chance of keeping Lukaku permanently. Maybe. We'd obviously have more money to spend and something big to offer.

If not, we should be aiming for better than Benteke, he's nowhere near as good as Lukaku.
 
Take the 15M left over from the last window, say another 20M from the recent jump in sky sports money, and factor in a 15M investment by the board looking to finish top four, and that's 50M to spend this January at a conservative estimate.

We could buy both.
 
Called it in the other Benteke thread, he'd not be the same player this season, another Cisse/Ba for me, could be wrong, but I don't think he's as great as made out.

Very good striker, has been off form since his little injury. Having said that villa have been out of form in general so could be linked. I'd love benteke, depends on the price tho, wouldn't break the bank to the same extent as I would for Lakaku.

I do fear the high of having Lakaku this season is gonna be felt with an equal low not having him next!
 
Benteike is an odd one. On one side he has proven himself, and started this season how he ended the last so he is probably the second best young striker in the league. However how much has the injury and the team affected him for ther rest of it?

I think if we got a realistic valuation he will be a bargain for whoever signs him, but he will be out of our league due to the new contract he signed in the summer.
 
I think the main contributor for his form could be the fact that he doesn't really want to be there. Remember the transfer request? He's a class act, he be another cisse or ba for sure, there's a reason why he for one of the best international teams around
