I think you are massively overstating bentekes impact on the team. There have been games where it felt like we were playing with 10 men. Zaha is our main man without him we'd of been dead and burried a long time ago. Never a truer word said.

“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” It’s a statement and a conclusion. Clearly you were implying that that a return of 1 goal, for that money means he should be dropped. Good that you’ve realised your mistake though. Is picking holes in the wording the best response you've got. How sad.

They were 2 seperate statements, hence the full stop. We are the only club in the bottom 10 with a £27m striker, only the top clubs have more expensive strikers. They can drop them, as they have more than one striker of that value or above.

I see the team playing well with him in it and I see him involved in goals. So do you but that is not enough for you.

I guess the question is are we playing well because of benteke or despite him. And if we had someone else would we be doing even better. That's a question we all seem divided on and we're just going around in circles. Guess we'll just have to wait until the end of thd season and see how many goals he's scored by then. Giving up on this one till then.

Yes the team are doing well but could be even better .wayne Hennessy must have kicked at least 10 or more kicks to him second half and he managed to get to one ,with wilf waiting for flick on,s .He was yards away and got pushed off all to easily.

Yes I take you point. My rebuttal to that would be... the main differentiator is we've got Zaha! Edited by MonsterMunch (17 Jan 2018 10.47am) Cheers, and you are correct about Zaha, we are looking at smaller details here.

I got so bored off your constant petulant comments. I gave up readingg your last message after about 3 seconds. Get a sense of humour and try not to feel a victim when anyone throws a bit of banter your way. Sigh Originally posted by chateauferret
If you've responded to losing an argument by shouting and swearing then it's you who needs to get a grip. FWIW, I'm not engaging with anyone who behaves like a spoiled toddler, so have a nice evening.

He said £30 mil and Crouch. Not a straight swap. Exactly. We all know we have space in the squad for extra strikers. I also think Crouch can still offer us something by holding the ball up and bringing other players in. Just give him contract until may 2019

You don't seem to understand what I'm saying, the two players in question are the two players who have massively underperformed this season, however one of the players is our most expensive signing in the history of the club and highest earner, the other is one of our lowest earners at the club and only cost 3mill. I've never moaned about Hennessey for those reasons even though his performances have been equally as bad as bentekes. You also can't fault henessey s attitude and commitment, I can't say the same about benteke. Agreed in part, however 30 million for a Striker is not unheard of, and is common place in the premier league and Europe's other top leagues. in fact if you look at what players are going for this window 28 million is almost chicken feed in comparison, and it pains me to say it, but it really is. Its an average amount for a Striker of proven ability. Now when you look at keepers, there are only two I think, Buffon and Ederson, that where anything close to 28 Million. Manuel Neuer who is easily in the top three keepers in the world, if not the best, only cost 19 million, thats ten million less than tekkers. Thats why your argument about how much players cost in relation to there out put on the pitch is invalid. Now if you had compared him to Bakary Sako, who pulls up treesevery game, and who IS scoring goals and cost much much less, but IS a striker then I'd agree with you. But to compare GK's to Striker's is daft IMO, it's not like a keeper can be lazy is it ?
