nadavTKL 1,787 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Can't see this happening.Or maybe if we sell Torres or Ba.But then again we have 3 very good strikers which none of them like to be benched.We will wait and see.Torres is a very good striker?We could sell Ba for 8-12 milions.

sainttourist 68 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Crazy idea, BUT who knows. May be he goes Dortmund and we get Leva at last!! They cant just let him go on free, while we still could pay 20-30m for him.For Benteke to us think it is bad move - he is not add somethink, we need different type and level, not numbers.

King11Didier 916 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 No,he is 50 milions waste but I prefered the first definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Buy benteke who is pretty much Lukaku. So we would be buying a similar player to lukaku who would in some way get in the way of him. I know it's a long season etc, but like goalkeepers there has to be a clear no. 1. Now this isn't a problem with the likes of rooney as they are completely different players, and could even be played together. And offer completely different options. He is a great player. And if we sign him then I will get behind it but I really don't see the need. Especially when he will be 25 mil + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weckerz 3,781 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Benteke to Chelsea wouldn't make sense. As Hutcho said he's basically Lukaku (a poor mans tho imo). Noone in Belgium would have thought he'd be so succesful in his first year in the prem.He was extremely wasteful at Genk the year before. He might be the real deal, but I'd like to see him reproduce similar numbers (or better if he'd join a better club) than last season before drawing conclusions.He's a player who relies on his form tbh, not sure if anyone saw the 2 sitters he missed for Belgium vs Serbia; that's basically the Benteke we'd known from the year before. A threat, but extremely clumsy at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkE 267 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 In my opinion, you guys are thinking wrong. We are not looking for Lukaku's rival but a replacement to Torres / Ba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 We're not signing Benteke and you can quote me on that.It's probably Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toli 977 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 In my opinion, you guys are thinking wrong. We are not looking for Lukaku's rival but a replacement to Torres / Ba.torres is a different player type than benteke. would make really no sense at all to have 2 similar types of players. especially when I rate Lukaku higher than Benteke. and Benteke surely wants to play as a 1st option and not a sub.

jakeheath 19 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 26% - Christian Benteke's chance conversion rate last season was better than van Persie (22%), Suarez (16%) & Bale (16%). Request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hold your horses, people. I'm sure he's headed to spurs. We have Lukaku, signing Benteke would make no sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediator 2,026 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 i would say that, but you know with "if" everything could happen. What i want to say is that Lukaku is certainly as good as him right now.Benteke missed A LOT of sitters those days of course Lukaku would have done better. KDB was the key of our success, not Benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
