He had a good scoring record at A.Villa with a ratio of approx 1 goal every 2 games.When he was at our club, I was in conversation with A.Villa supporters who wanted him back.

...C teams Benteke has played in 45 games for Belgium and has scored against nations far higher ranked than San Marino and the Faeroe Islands. When he hangs up his boots he can be proud of his achievements when he reflects on his career.

He clearly hasn't learnt from previous experience then. He is simply not very good at penalties - and that's a fact

I'm surprised DC United allowed him to take a penalty. I was led to believe they signed him primarily to hold the umbrella for the manager in the winter.

When he hangs up his boots he can be proud of his achievements when he reflects on his career. On a serious note though can he really?? He was prolific for about 3 seasons which over the course of a professional footballers career isn't that long... Personally I think he's been very lucky to of earned so much money for being, over the course of his career pretty average. And it pains me to say our club has contributed largely to his fortune.
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |
