Why would we want to sell the best striker we have had in years. I feel he gets a rough deal. Yes, the guy does not work as hard as he could, but he is isolated a lot of the time. He hasn't peaked and he has scored AS MANY GOALS AS SO FAR THAN OUR TOP GOALSCORER LAST SEASON.

Fans make you laugh! Everyone wants a proven premier league goal scorer, you buy one and then people moan because he doesn't run around alot.

Perhaps we should spend the proceeds on one of these sucesses;
Michy Batshuayi 33.15m
Memphis Depay 28.9m
Wilfried Bony 27.46m
Islam Slimani 25m
Simone Zaza 25m
Roberto Soldado 25m

Exactly

And that would have been more like 40m in today's market.

Your post is spot on. I'm not sure who the people wanting to sell CB think is waiting in the wings to come in and be our saviour when above average Championship strikers are going for 15m.

The only way I can see there being any truth in the rumour is if a) there's some truth to 40m+ potential offers from China, and b) CB has given some indication he'd be interested in going.

But 40m would buy us 3 average Prem players in places we need them: Centre back, left back and left wing; SP might stump up a bit more for an average Prem centre mid; and that leaves us relying on Campbell and a loanee prone to injury to get us enough goals to stay up.

Massive gamble in my opinion.

I hope this is not true and Benteke stays.

Benteke and Remy partnership has goals a plenty in it.

The people that are comparing Gayle with Defoe have zero idea about the game
lets put it this way
Gayle will not score a Quarter of the goals Defoe has in the Premier league

I agree with the last post. Benteke's ability with Remy's agility and speed should give us a real goal threat. And if we compare Benteke with Llorente in the Swansea match, Llorente was always doing knock downs to runners around him while Benteke was having to control and pass in isolation, and we just do not have runners who are close to him. I think he has been good for us without being great, but it's early days and apart from a brief period with Wickham he hasn't played up front with another striker. He has to stay.

Hmmm, not on here really no. Put it this way though,the person who told my friend, is a good friend of someone well placed within hierarchy of the club. I was told nothing more than there is some truth in the stories. The fact that Sky Sports are reporting it, would suggest that there is some truth in it. Whether it happens or not is another story.

Tell your friend of a friend,that for what it's worth, if this actually happens without some wonderful plan, I won't bother renewing my season ticket. I have no problem going down, but selling the family silver and running up the white flag with half a season to go, is frankly bollocks.

 


the dignified don't even enter in the game

Pressures the defender and continues on to the goalkeeper. Scores.

"Benteke is lazy" is just the new "Wilf has no end product"


Exactly. 8 goals in 18 league games is a poor return. No wonder Dann's p*ssed off. Not top goal scorer.

If we sell Benteke for what we paid or less, we might aswell pack up and settle for the Championship next season. He's the best goalscorer I ever remember us having, and he's got a 1 in 2 record for us. If we sell him, how much can we realistically strengthen for £30m in today's market that is tried and tested in this league? Absolutely ridiculous some of you are.

It took you a full stop to spill the beans & practically name your source. Not the best person to tell secrets to.
