Firstly, there was only ever a media rumour that Benteke was one of several ‘target men’ Chelski were looking at. Secondly, they have made it clear the last 3 transfer windows that Batshuayi is not for sale. Spot on. Carroll was also thrown into the pot but when you consider Giroud made the switch, Tekkers and Carroll was laughable.

If that were true, I cannot see why SP wouldn’t have jumped at the chance. Bcause he was stupid.. And there were a lot of stupid users on this site too who were saying that Benteke is better than Batshuayi and that they should actually give us Batshuayi+30 million just so we give them Benteke. I'm gonna dig out the thread if you don't believe me. Benteke still had good credentials back then for people like Conte, though he had clearly been misfiring for some time.

Why on earth does RH KEEP bringing on Benteke as a sub. As soon as he is on it is game over. I just don’t get it.

Before Michy - billions of assists/attempts but... no goals. I know he's hopeless at approach play, but I was hoping he would be that last kick that finishes the team. Presumably, with him our midfield is inevitably weaker with one player having to give way? This football lark can be quite frustrating.

Play beneteke to feed him, great header by him to bats right at the end yesterday.. I want them to try more of that in matches, they could have an understanding (& language) to get the best out of each other!! do you know if they speak Flemish or French? What if one speaks one and the other speaks the other? And they might not get on because of it. Mind you football is a universal language, a flick on is a flick on in any language (not strictly true but you know what I mean).

Do people think Benteke would have created that chance for himself V Watford let alone scored it? he'd have backed off Mariappa and let him play the diagonal. Batshuyai is a solid striker to have in the team and makes us a better proposition, than if we start with benteke or ayew.
