No one would get 10 chances per game, even if you played for Man City. Have a look at some footage of him when he was at Villa, you would not believe it was the same player...

His goals at Villa are like 18 headers, 2 tap ins and one screamer per season. The headers are non existent because we barely cross a ball (due to Andros only operating from the right and cutting back onto his left). The tap ins and screamers are now non-existent because his confidence is zero without the headers to prop him up.

The points regarding the crossing and early balls are fair but he missed twenty from twenty three good chances in 2017-18 including the infamous penalty which has ultimately led to his head being shot to bits and him getting the yips.

His general hold up play and work rate were never good and have deteriorated with his confidence which doesn't leave much of a player really.

How can anyone defend Benteke after his last 2 seasons here?
He goes perfectly in our class of flop-expensive strikers - like Akinbuyi, Gabbiadini, Ferguson (ex Charlton). The sooner we get rid of the better. Man Utd is offering a substantial amount to their Spanish goalkeeper to join Paris SG now - maybe same approach to the big Belgian?
Can never see him ever come good in a Palace shirt again! Just for Steve P & board to cut the losses, learn from experience and move on....

Can’t see him come good in any shirt. Sadly, £120ik per week proved too big a reward.

There is no point in persevering.
either we don't suit him or he is plain crap - I am not sure which - but whichever it is he needs to go whatever the cost!
We need to move on because another season with him playing 30 odd games and scoring 2/3 goals is just unacceptable.

If the Arnautovic to a Chinese club does not transpire, perhaps they will take Benteke off our hands.
There was talk about it a year ago but I believe he was not interested. With Bats gone and not even Sako as an alternative, looks like he will be in the starting lineup v Everton uness we buy someone PDQ

He said the other week that he wouldn't up and leave us "like a thief" and is happy to stay next season. He's not interested in going China.

Lucky us!

On the contrary if he wanted to sit on money he'd run to china to earn almost twice as much as he's on now to play against dross. He clearly wants to prove he still has the talent we bought him for, whether he does or not is another thing.

if that's genuinely how he feels then credit to him but it just goes to confirm how deluded he is and that someone at Palace needs to make the decision for him

Why would a Chinese club want him?
