Make sure we have 2 strikers to sign in January (work on it, Dougie) - and sell Tekkers. He has simply lost itwith us....and our play is so static with hopeful hoof balls to the big Belgian.

He just doesn't do it for me and i think he is the wrong fit for our team. Too much focus on high balls to who is an average player these days and has never really been that good villa player we knew since he signed for us.

We could still get a lot of dosh for him.

Yes, yes and thrice yes. No doubt he is a good player but he is not for us, especially with Big Sam gone. Hoping Big Sam will go to Everton and buy him off us for the same price we bought him for. Its one of the very few things I blame Pardew for, but to be fair he proved his worth for us last season. Time for him to move on now.

Yes because he has lost it, no because we need him.

I thought first half last night he looked very sharp
Definitely better with him than without

Remember him having long barren spells for Villa. Hopefully he comes good and rediscovers his form of last season which he needs to. Sign another 2 strikers in January and it might shift him up a gear if he’s benched for a few games.

Yes I think so, fosu-mensah will probably get recalled as not playing, buy a decent young right back, sell benteke for 20mill, buy and loan a striker, job done

Are some people out of their minds??? We have only one striker who's is coming back from injury. It will take a couple of full run outs before he is firing on all cylinders and now someone wants to sell him in January when there is only a month to find a replacement???

I'm not entering the argument on whether to sell him or not would I would like to query your comment that "there is only a month to find a replacement" as I would hope that if selling Benteke was in the management's mind that suitable replacements would already be lined up. After all isn't that what Dougie is supposed to be doing?

That was his first start, he produced some decent flick-ons, one of which produced our best chance of the game, and aside from that the service to him was almost non existent. By contrast Murray did nothing, fouled a few people and then got subbed. Last night was not a great game for forwards at either end.
Until last night he hadn't played in our improved team, so I think he needs time to work his way back in. He has never been a striker that chases people down all over the pitch, but I think Roy will ask more of him once he's back to full fitness. That has been one thing that has impressed me about Hodgson is his lack of sentimentality and willingness to "shake things up" (as he put it).

One thing seems certain, if Bentenke doesn't perform and Roy thinks he has options then he won't be in the team. Personally I think Bentenke just needs a goal to get him going again.

No. When he's on form, he's class.

 


It was my dream to play for Palace and to make my debut. I've always played for the club so if I'm playing here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Sell him and buy 4 new, better strikers with that money.
Benteke is insanely overrated and strikers from the PL can bring in a lot of money when sold. With that money you can buy 4 strikers from other powerful leagues in Europe

Cool. Where exactly is this powerful league striker shop?
I didn’t realise it was so easy to pick them off the shelf. Do they do buy 3 get 1 free deals in January?
