Completely wrong if he was shot how comes he is still selected for his country and putting in a shift for them.

Roys the problem


If you think he is only worth 5m again shows you dont have a clue what you are on about.

He really isn’t the problem, Benteke is lazy, can’t finish and doesn’t hold the ball up, how is that Roy’s fault?

His first season I seem to remember we put in more crosses than any other team in the PL, which obviously helped his game, but he also had composed finishing in his locker. He has lost that and I don't remember him ever being a front-post poacher/fox in the box type striker, which seems far more our game style under Roy with cutbacks and low crosses the order of the day. Injuries and some poor performances coupled with his style (which is not about covering lots of ground) and it is hard to see him finding his way again here, and I've been far more patient than most. It does seem he needs to move if he's going to stand any hope of recovering some form, but will any club outside of the PL be willing to cover his wages? At this point I'd put Wickham in ahead of him (if Conor can stay fit). I think one of them will go this window, but I have a feeling it will more likely be Wickham.

It wouldn't surprise me if he goes to another club and finds some form. another manager to impress, another Set of fans to endear himself to.
He'll probably score on his dubut!

Shameful statistic for Benteke this season according to whoscored.com- worst passer in the league (in the league, that meant everyone!!) except for 3 goalkeepers who pretty much missed clearances.

Click on PS% (pass success percebtage), you'll find him on the second to last page with just 48%. Now, in general, center forwards have worse passing success than other player because they pass under pressurr and often don'tvhave the time of a center back to pass the ball, but 48% is just too little. Normally, at least 65% is something ok.

Pretty shameful for Ashley Barnes, Danny Ings, Jay Rodriguez or Chris Wood as well (mostly Burnley anti-football lol)


Aston Villa supposedly made contact for Benteke according to Birmingham Mail. I wonder if Villa or Brugge are willing to pay 10-15 million for Benteke.

Bit unfair those stats. They weren't meant to be passes they were his first touch. Particularly enjoyed the one to Zaha in the fifth minute of injury time against Wolves.

Pass success percentage takes into consideration all the passe. Only Nick Pope, Ben Foster and Dean Henderson have worse passing percentage (goalkeepers who missed clearances). No outfield player missed more passes than Benteke. Just click on that PS% button

Sorry just my poor attempt at a joke ie his control is so sh1t the statisticians mistake it for a pass. Or are you saying that losing the ball in that way counts as a misplaced pass ?

That would be great, especially if we agreed a deal with X millions + some extra million if he scores a certain amount of goals.
I'd be then cheering every goal he scores, away from here...

April 1 if any club is linked with him. How anyone that’s seen him play in the last 2 years can defend him is beyond me.

Him and Sako absolute chain around the neck , zero output maximum financial outlay

I heard that too. They obviously consider Tekkers to be a like for like replacement for the injured Kane

How about a straight swap - Benteke for an injured Kane? He can take corners when he's fit again
