Transfer Rumour Christian Benteke

[Death]

Lash the cash down. Christ blues. Kicking and screaming into this new era.

 

[mawders]

Don't rate him on his time with the RS. He was ace at villa and had a good season last year. Seems a confidence player though, and is injury prone.

He's got a weird shaped head too

 

[Nymzee]

Vault away hombre, but let it be known you'll then be an enemy of the sage

Can't seem to quote you but the vaults have shown you once held a soft spot for our new Belgian hero.

 

[Death]

Impact sub? He'd cost us about 40 mil

That's the going rate for players on the bench. We have to get our head out of this mentality. City and Chelsea splash that cash theres a chance they won't even make the bench.

This is the only saving grace of him coming for me.

But you missed one - if we get Benteke, Sigurdsson makes no sense and we really should get Barkley signing on the dotted line, as he's tailor made for a Benteke type hold-up striker.

Interesting you say that, not sure we can even get Benteke but I can see Barkley at Palace, be a good fit for him.

I also had an soft spot for Donald trump once

 

[Lord Buckethead]

Come on Moshiri think it through lad.

How can laugh wholeheartedly at the RS for lashing out £32M on this waste of a shirt, when we would be paying more than that to sign him ourselves.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Mmmmmm.Popcorn.

 

[larrygobfiend]

He's alright and we do need somebody like him (preferably better), but no doubt Palace will ask for about 50m or something daft.

 

[DanB90]

I'm usually always of the opinion of 'I'm not arsed what we pay as long as we get our targets in'
But.... I would take massive issue if we think that Benteke would be a good purchase for anything above what palace paid for him, decent player though he is.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Give them Bolasie back plus £10m for him.

 

[Cardano]

I don't really like him as a player. But it's a yes from me.

Wholly on the basis of the possibility of him outscoring Lukaku, us finishing above Man U, and him subsequently taking Lukaku's starting place in the Belgium team.

Sweet dreams are made of this.

 

[Saint Domingo]

@davek this is the target man Koeman needs to implement his Koeball philosophy. Just imagine Pickford or Williams nailing the long diagonals for this guy to flick down to Wazza? Will be like Pelle and Long in tandem. All hail Lord Ronkoe.

 

[Duncan Disordely]

He wouldn't be my first choice at all, but I could imagine him being the type of striker Koeman would go for. His control is better than our previous strikers, so the ball may stick a bit better as a target man.

The injury worries me though.

Who am I to disagree !!
