its a no brainer, nobody will sign a striker on 130k a week for 15m that does not score goals. Tekkers really doesn't care he's a multi millionaire is fing useless at what he does and will get a huge sign on fee again from us and 4 mill a year for walking a round a football pitch and going to the gym.

If we resign him, my St next year wont be renewed and im off to watch Cambridge play until sense prevails in se25

Cant do any worse than Benteke, only needs to score twice this season to have a better season than Benteke has for the last 2 seasons.
Id have taken McBurnie over Benteke every day of the week.

Those are the words Alan Pardew used when signing him for £30m and to be honest, he was absolutely spot-on.

We also need a reality check on Benteke's potential new contract with CPFC.

No way will he sign for the same terms and I don't blame him.

His agent will tell Parish: "Look, he'll hit a few goals if you start playing to his strengths for the first time in years and you'll have a £40m striker on your hands all day long.

"If we can split the difference and you give my client a £20m signing fee coupled with £120K-plus pw, plus bonuses, plus loyalty fee, plus image rights etc.. I think I can persuade Chis to sign.

"Do that or we walk out the door for nothing."

Having just watched that it is hard to believe its the same player, no headers and most goals on the counter attack, cant really understand what's happened to him.

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Maybe sit Benteke down and get him to watch it, might jog some memories, and inspire him.

So why didn't this work when we tried to sell him in the previous two windows?

Also, which club is going to pay £15-20m for Benteke when he's scored 4 goals in his last 52 appearances for the club?

We wouldn't be letting '£15-20 million' walk out the door, we'd be removing £6m a year from the wage bill which could be used to pay the wages of a player who can score more than 1 in 13.

Batshuayi on similar wages scored more goals in his 11 games for us than Benteke did in 52 games.
