Worst striker ever to wear a Palace shirt, and, yes, I have witnessed Gabbiadini, G Taylor, Brolin, Akinbiyi, Kuqi and a certain guy who missed four golden opportunities in the play-off final.

Reaseasing Benteke now and writiing off GBP 27 mio may sound bizarre. but probably be the most wise option.

No alternative could do worse.

Afraid you may well be right. The truth may well be that we could not offload him for free with the wages he is on.

If he does play 38 PL games and doesn't score I suspect that serious questions will be asked of Hodgson and no doubt he will suffer the wrath of the supporters.

Really, do you think so?

Well if he plays every PL game this season and still hasn't scored do you not think that along the way questions will be asked of Hodgson and supporters will vent their spleen at continually playing someone who hasn't hit the back of the net ?

A combination of him playing 38 PL games this season and 0 goals - A highly unlikely scenario.

Dear Roy,
As we saw earlier this year, Bench-teke was the way forward.

For months I have been willing Big Ben to score! Unfortunately I have now got to the point that I have no confidence in him scoring at all however clear cut the chance is.

I am sure goals will come and I just hope that he scores sooner rather than later.

According to my research, the last time he scored for Belgium in a competitive match was in October 2016 when he scored a hat-trick against the 'Mighty' Gibraltar.The previous time he scored for Belgium was in March 2015 with a goal against Cyprus.

Great thanks Willoam.
But has he really played much since? I mean if he's only played 20 minutes in various substitutions since then, then I can understand if he hasn't scored.

And for those of you saying we won't get anything for him, I think you're being a bit dramatic. Players have been much sought after during poor patches many times in the past - how many times has somebody forked out for Balotelli? And wasn't Pato the same?
Chinese clubs would happily take him on those wages, and its a league where he could start scoring again. This or MLS is the best spot for him now.

Can we leave it to you to give his agent a call and suggest it please?

What do you think I've been doing all week Becky?

If I remember right, he was struggling to score for us, scored a hat trick for Belgium, then came back and started firing them in for us?
