Even if he were to score a similar amount of goals next season, it doesn't mean he would've done it with us. We play very different to AV
Neither team between the two has a disctive style of play especially going forward. Benteke is the sort of player who can play in any system because of the vast array of qualities he has.

We didn't sign Benteke - we're not going to sign Benteke

Why are we still discussing him?

Why is this thread in Spurs Chat? he's not a Spurs player

If he was potentially going to be it would be a thread for the TRansfer Rumour section, as things stand surely Benteke should be in General Football

I still think we should go for him. If their valuation was £25m before, I doubt its actually increased because he's extended his contract (which still had 3 years on it) a year.

If for some cruel reason that Soldado doesn't come off, I can see us revisiting this one. A contract extension doesn't in any way mean his price will change unless it's in the last year or 2, which it wasn't. I believe part of it was a ploy by him and his agent, but I also think he'd jump at the chance to play for a bigger club.

New contract on higher wages should really make his fee lower. Before, Villa couldn't have replaced him with anyone near his talent level at the same low wages they were paying him. That's why he was more valuable to them than to us.

I know his fee won't come down, btw.

Have no idea where this quote is originally from so doubt its legitimacy, but..

"Only Tottenham were interested in buying me, I'm an Arsenal fan so could never go to the rivals."

Worst striker in the league.
I'm serial btw. Some of you youtube experts need to watch a few full length games of this footballing abortion. I'd rather recall Kane than sign Benteke, and Kane's fucking shite.
Wrong, actually, the opinion of a youtube expert is worth less than that of someone who has had the misfortune to watch Benteke over 90 mins.

Name me a striker worse than Benteke? Lambert is a far superior player, much better technically. Di Santo has more to his all round game, Grant Holt is a ghastly sight but he's more effective, and less erratic than Benteke the footballing holocaust.

oh dear x3.

Two against the scum today. Sign him tomorrow and he can bang some more in when we play them.
knew there was a reason we didn't sign him earlier in the window.

I don'y believe it. The guy scores two goals against shit opposition and we think we missed out on the golden goose. Lets see what he does against proper opposition!! :whistle:

Said it all summer -he's a fecking beast and will only get better.

Still, I'm more than happy we went for Soldado instead, I never even believed he was even a genuine option. Better finishing and movement and has more intelligence to his game. Obviously Benteke is more powerful and extremely good in the air.

Weren't both his goals penalties today? Or a Penalty and Penalty rebound...

I don't know what sort of game he had but fuck me I could play 90 minutes of the same game, running about whilst eating a fucking Big Mac and score 2 penalties too. He may have had a good game anyway, but I just mean it's ludicrous to reopen the debate on whether or not we should have bought him off the back of today.
