I would. So we both think he should go but we are haggling over the price, seriously though, i really hope you are right and i am wrong and he gets 15+ goals this season, but this reminds me of a famous Winston Churchill quote:
“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 |

I don’t think he should go. But of course, everyone had their price. I think even Levy would sell Kane for 200m. My price would be around the 20-25 mil mark. He’s far and away our best striker at the moment. We play better when he’s in the team. To find someone as useful for us would cost us just as much, unless we fluked it.

No and you couldn’t replace him for 13.5. If he continues his form he showed towards the end of last season he we could see a repeat of his first season here.

Maybe the original thread title should have been - At what price would you let him go. Originally posted by sprites

If Zaha could learn to swing in some high balls and we get our full backs higher up the pitch swinging in high crosses then Benteke will score plenty of goals and 25 mil wouldn't buy him. He is a fantastic header of the ball and gets no crosses put in. It’s always seemed crazy to me. But then again I’m not a UEFA qualified coach on mega bucks so what do I know.

This looks about right to me Spot on about how we have looked better with him in and his general play has been good overall. You can contrast this with Maupay at Brighton who looked gash last season. It'll be interesting to see what happens when we are no longer a low block side with him left upfield to hold the ball up. Will that diminish his value to this? Possibly it may free him.

After the Ipswich game , if Mateta is worth £12 then Benteke must be worth £60 .

No, I have high hopes for Big Ben and I hope he's on for 12-15 league goals. If he's a 15 goal a season player, he's worth £25 million minimum. We should be strengthening our strikeforce not weakening it.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

He finished last season on fine form and we had a glimpse of how he was in his first season with Palace.
