I for one hope get £30M for him in January and he goes



Nobody's gonna give 30 million for a striker who hasn't scored i 6 months.
If someone offered 15, I'd sell. Get someone else.
Get 2 or 3 others for this money

more like 10 if we are lucky, at least we save on his exorbitant wages and we offset the rest of the loss against his 15 goals that from last season probably kept us up for another season and the rewards that has given the club in terms of income. But you are right lets get rid of him to the Chinese as they are the only ones likely to want him!

So talk that SA wants to take him to Everton...

don't think we can deal with that disruption - or risk trying to integrate another striker or 2 halfway through the season. But how many years left on his contract? He signed for 4 years? So he's got 2.5 left? Would make sense to sell in the summer

The obvious answer is no, unless there is a guaranteed replacement with some one who has a record of scoring goals at the highest level. And we all know that there arnt many of them around. So, I would like to know who the 2 or 3 such strikers are who we could get for a mere £15m - because I am sure Roy and all the other PL managers would like to know as well!
I like Giroud, but he's 31 and would cost around @£19m!!
I cant see us getting a decent replacement and so I think we have to stick with CB

Selling him isn't and has never been an option. If we did we would need to buy 3 strikers, other clubs would realise this and absolutely have us over a barrel. There are very few decent strikers available to a club in our position and with our budget already. Hopefully we can get wickham fit and buy the guy from Monaco so we have competition for once.

I always felt that Benteke's next goal for us would see him as a different player and I think we saw that yesterday to a degree.He played with far more assurance and of course setup Zaha for the second goal.Let's hope he continues in the same vein.

Quite so.

Even before his goal and assist yesterday he has had a big hand in most of our goals recently. Those who dislike him are never going to love him because he doesn't run around all over the place. If Everton really want him then expect a bid of £25-30 million, as anything less would be laughed off by Parish. Personally given our lack of strikers I think we would only sell if a) we had already signed new strikers (plural), and b) we at the very least reclaim what we paid, although I think in today's market Parish may want nearer 40 million.

Those saying we wouldn't get more than 15 million for an international striker, at a prime age with a better than 1 in 3 goal-scoring record in the PL are delusional.

Maybe a few on this thread need to look back at their earlier posts in the light of his match winning performance yesterday.

There was a total overreaction to the penalty miss in my opinion.

 


Vive le Roy!

If he does go to Everton probably won’t happen until the summer but providing we stay up I can see slimani being his replacement and hopefully for a cut price

Thankfully Benteke has redeemed himself and we can move on from the penalty debacle last week. If he hadn't put in such a stellar performance perhaps there would have been a question mark over his future but not any more. Was great to see him playing with a big smile on his face... hopefully now the floodgates will open and he will start scoring for fun.
