Lambert's appointment at Stoke could lead to a bid for Benteke. He was the manager who appointed him at Villa where he then had his best spell. If he tempts us with close to 30m and Crouch as part of the deal I'd be tempted.

It takes me 4 years to earn what Benteke earns in a week - I'd at least expect him to run around a bit

In any event can you imagine the reaction if we sold Benteke and replaced him with a 37 year old who has only scored 4 goals this season the last of which was in early November.Benteke is more mobile than him !

He's a 30m striker who's scored 1 goal all season. If he was in any other team in the premiership he'd be dropped.

Easy to say "Spend that on a £30 Mill striker" but every club is after a striker who can score goals and it just isn't that easy to get a quality striker in this 'Window'.Could end up with losing Benteke, getting in Crouch and struggling to find a suitable striker. I admit Benteke has been a disappointment but he is a far better player than he has shown and could well get back to the player who scored 15 PL goals for us last season.And in recent games he has been improving so hopefully this will translate into goals.

You can criticise his form but one thing I’ll never understand is the way some fans will give less support to anyone seen as expensive.

Because he cost 30m, people think he cant or wont be dropped. If we had another out and out striker he would have been dropped like its hot a long time ago.
