Well report in the Mail says he's thinking about looking for a move in January.

Yeah, but you can't really always look at it like that. Otherwise that means that Hazard must be really bad, as he didn't score at all. Or Benteke is as good as De Bryne, as he also only scored two. Both of which we know aren't true.

We're not playing the sort of football that gets the best out of a striker like Benteke. That's the bottom line for me. It's not hard to see.

Agreed. After his 2 goals hopefully he has his chin up and should think about starting him against his old side at the weekend where he has an additional incentive.

CB's wife Fortunata (what an apt name) joined her misfiring husband on a 12-month driving ban today.

She crashed her brand new 3-litre Mercedes in Coulsdon after late-night champagne at a friend's house and got done for drink-driving.

CB himself was banned last week for 3 speeding offences.

How much could we get? 10 mil seems like a stretch. What's that - a 20 mil loss or so?

At this point, I can't ever imagine a day when Benteke is not drawing a salary from us.

I figure in 2025, we'll be bottom of table in division 3, and Benteke will still be playing every week, and still looking for his first goal since 2019.
