NishC300 1,865 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 What do people make of Willian? Good player?Saw him the two games vs Shaktar and he looked good but we don't need him since we already have many players in his position.

Pizy 19,381 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 BBC reporting that Arsenal are trying to sign Benzema and Di Maria.Can't see them selling Benzema as he's the only senior striker there, but Di Maria is possible I'd think. Think he'd be great for them too. Hope this doesn't work out for Le Arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Benteke is realy growing as a striker...he has great eye for goal and fear factor that Lukaku is still lacking and making him somehow invisible in games at CFC.Wait one year with striker and then get Benteke if he brings great season at Villa.However Rooney fits better to this team, Mazacar just doesnt work with big powerful strikers like Ba, Drogba or Lukaku. Rooney can create on his own, finish from distance and makes top passes to Mazacar, making assists if he cant score by himself. Same as Rvp, Lewa, Aguero, Suarez,...

coolhead23 1,147 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Aston Villa have got a gold mine in Benteke.... He would be costing around 30m+ easy by the end of this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beepu 1,714 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Benteke>Lukaku atm.Of course, but lukaku is still 20 while benteke is 22. He already improved so much from his loan to west brom, i can say that im quite excited to see our team grow together. Lukaku is a beast, he will grow even more.

Benteke at 19/20 was no where near where Lukaku is now. Yeah it doesn't always work like a pattern, sometime an average player can become brilliant at 25-26 or sometime a really promising player never reach his potential. On theory Lukaku should go on and become one of the best striker in the world in a few year, but a lot of factors might change that such as a serious injury/personal problems/bad managements...etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
