As Doombear says 1 goal from each 3 starting game . That would be 18 goals a season , now I would call that prolific .
It is most unlikely that we have the kind of money that will secure us a striker who is an upgrade on what Benteke CURRENTLY is (yes he's been useless in the previous 3 seasons but he's not at present). I reckon we will try to keep him so as to spend what little money there is likely to be on more pressing needs.

38 games divided by 3 = 16 plus a hattrick = 18

143 games, 30 goals over 5 seasons, a goal every 4.76 games at a total cost of about 60 million, easily the worst signing we have ever made, taking everything into account, FFS wake up

What people don't appreciate about Benteke is what else he brings, other than goals. His hold up play is good, he plays wall passes that gets others in. He is solid at defending corners. He doesn't moan and roll about. He gets up and carries on. And now, with his confidence restored, his shooting and heading is Maybe he knows he is going but it's not obvious as the effort is still there. So I hope he resigns and with the partnership he is building with Eze we see him having a great season next year. If we can get Wilf's head right again and playing as a team member and not a frustrated wannabe galatico then it could be fun. I have to challenge some of your comments. IMHO his hold up play is pretty awful. He rarely wins a header, rarely anticipates where the ball will go so is often slow to react and is often offside. Other than the lack of goals this is the most disappointing aspect of his play. I expected him to be backing in and out muscling defenders (like Murray used to) yet i rarely see this with Tekkers. As for defending corners please go back to the 5-4 defeat at Swansea when Tekkers lost his marker 3 times. Since then he is never used as a marker but stands on the corner of the 6 yard box to get that first header away. As he can't be trusted to mark a man we lose one of our taller players at corners and are vulnerable at set pieces (one of the highest goals conceded in Prem)

He wins lots of headers played up from the defence. Not always cleanly and not always well directed but providing enough time to allow for regrouping and taking a breath. His physical strength is what gets him into those situations. He clears more corners than most of the other defenders but he is a forward. Man marking is not his skill. Should we lose him then I am sure we will notice a gap next year.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |
