Yet we had the chance two years ago to let him go, but no. we give him a new contract

Compared with South Norwood? It's a tossup

What if we offered him a signing-OFF fee, like 2-3 million?

At the end of the day. Benteke has cost us a fortune and will continue to until we bring in satisfactory replacement. The way we are operating now rotating 3 strikers during most matches is a good solution based on current personnel. At least we are maximising very limited energy levels in our two big front men. Change will eventually come but we have to be patient. Now PV is here change has already begun.

Burnley moving for Benteke to replace their £25million striker with a much cheaper option is a good measure to show the level Benteke has fallen to. Had Newcastle come in for him at £25m then different. But Burnley to replace their departed man at £8m says it all.
