Probably lazy journalism but would make it difficult to turn down as long as there is a solid plan to invest the money.
Despite an early impact he is not really contributing at the moment.
Apart from his goals drying up his hold up play and work rate has been poor.

£50m & snap their hands off...think the guys brilliant but we couodnt turn down a £23m profit in a few months.

afterall its all about money nowadays

Would be a right result if we could off load him for a profit.

Lazy and disinterested. Line up a replacement first though.

But we would lose our profit immediately by having to replace him in the January window with probably not that many suitable candidates available. As with Wilf I can't think of anyone we could get that could drop in and replace.

And if Benteke wanted to go to China he'd be flying Porkair I reckon.

Suicide to sell our record signing and top goalscorer, crazy talk in my humble opinion.

Only sell if we have someone proven and roughly the same age lined up. Otherwise it's a stupid route to take in our position. It's the sort of thing Mike Ashley would do in mid table when you can get away with it. To do it in 17th is very risky.

But who is there we'd get in. Look at Slimani's lack of goals and Zaza at West Ham. I know he's a loan but maybe just as well. Absolute c&ck in this league. An example of poor new striker performances can dent a team.
