People moaning about signing Benteke? FFS get real, he is a great player who has pace, strength, hold-up play, finishing, basically the perfect number 9- something that we've been missing since Berba. Since Dimi our strikers have been Crouch, Campbell, Pav just to name a few and I think it's fair to say they didn't fit the bill. Benteke does.
Even more, he wants a move and although it's only speculation he apparently wants to move to us. Plus Arsenal are after Hig, Chelsea can probably do better and already have Lukaku, City apparently close to Negredo and Liverpool can't even offer Europa league so it would seem we're on our own! He fits perfectly in a 4-3-3 between Bale and hopefully Chadli. Even more, he is realistic! I'd be delighted to get him and I can't imagine the noise I'd make if I see we signed him. I don't see it hapeening unfortunately but for me he'd be our perfect signing. I hope £20m does the job and if it does I think we can push top 3 easy yet some still aren't happy.
Yet this looks lethal to me:
Bale Benteke Chadli
I think some people on here would be disappointed if we signed Messi on a free!
You missed out "in your opinion" many others don't see it that way and fear he'll just prove to be another one season wonder or even if he proves a decent enough striker for a lower level PL club he may well struggle in a better side faced with teams that want to defend deeply and not allow players time and space
Personally of a front three of Benteke, Bale and Chadli the only player I'd want is Bale, fortunately he looks like he will be here next season but I'd be gutted if those two were the players he had to play alongside and I'm pretty sure Bale wouldn't be doing any cartwheels
