In any event, this is NOT about me, the thread is about Benteke so let's keep to the topic and refrain from throwing in vignettes of personal criticisms. Regards Benteke, we all know what he is capable of so it is infuriating when he is so below par.When his hold up play is poor, when he doesn't win headers etc etc he attracts criticism but I would think many supporters wouldn't wish to see him at 'Selhurst Park' in an opposition shirt.Maybe a change of club would benefit him - and us !

I cannot see the Jan window supplying that amount of quality strikers who would join us without a flurry of activity and luck. Keep Tekkers until the summer, 2 more strikers, 1 a loan if need be as you say. I'm hoping 1 at least has been negotiated presently and look outs for another. This will give time should a loan deal be required to sort out TFM if need be. “ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ” —United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld

The hatred for Benteke is quite appalling. Last week we clearly missed his prescence against Swansea and this week, because we lost to the worst team in the division who have absolutely no star players and an appalling record against the mighty Palace, it's his fault. They are better than us. They outplayed us. They do things we can only dream of. Wilshere was superb, but hey lets slag the striker. We created one real chance all night from open play, that's every player. Credit the team, they battled like f*** and gave themselves a chance, but we weren't good enough. Luka gave away possession, numerous times, like many did. Wilf lost the ball many times, like many did. RLC was anonymous for large chunks of the game and blew his two great moments (no one mentions his end product). Schlupp is a liability going forward, it's like he loses all coordination. I'm not wanting to blame anyone for losing to a team like Arsenal, but the team lost it, not one player. Thing is on Sunday we will be even more negative and I wonder which player will be the scapegoat. Hmmmm let me think now? That's Life And as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream. KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

Benteke has been poor for most of the season and as you say, we would still get £25-30M for him because that’s the market. How much would we need for a significant upgrade?! It’s not going to happen. If Benteke goes anywhere else, he will score goals because they will cross the ball. He will get his confidence back and everyone will be moaning because the player(s) we signed for £17+ million (with no premier league experience) turned out to be crap. We’ve got a goal scorer, just cross the f*cking ball to him Palace. Edited by Beastie (29 Dec 2017 2.44pm)

By the end of the season if we survive Benteke will have scored and done his part. He is a confidence player and we need to support him, IMO he WILL come good as he did at the end of last season. Key for me is to get Wilf playing wide again and supplying to Benteke. COYP we all love you

Agreed, last night i was thinking benny boy was winning every header that speroni kicked, some nice knock ons from them to, it seems people love to vent there disappointment on not picking up a draw/win, and tekkers is the easiest target, then its a toss up between the two goalies, if benny had done loftus cheeks shot that was nearer the hf than the goal, he would have got lambasted, yeah, he didnt have a great game shot wise last night, but was going for all the hoof ups from jules, and winning them!
