Christian Benteke

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Don't really rate him tbh. Maybe in a couple years time.

Rooney, what a load of crap I'd take Benteke over Rooney every day of the week if those are our options.

We want Rooney Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim members.

Ramadan Kareem ! Thanks!

Dailyfail on the possibility of us buying Benteke: "there would be the possibility of a player-plus-cash deal with Romelu Lukaku"

Seriously?

[bushman 2,043]

Those at Aston must be on drugs, I feel.

Lukaku to swap for Benteke, are they serious ?

Even though, Benteke is very good, has plenty of potential, but at 25m, no way.

At 15m the tops, take it or leave it.

[IkE 267]

No way, I was keen on him for 15 - 20m but Lukaku staying, if they start with this shit, they can keep him.

Spurs is better for him. Will get good game-time at good-ish club in WC year

[Gorando 184]

Well, his agent has confirmed Benteke will not go to Chelsea.

Villa would be commiting suicide by giving up Benteke, he was 40% of thier offense. I think they figure out a way to keep him.

The London Evening Standard quoted his agent. Doesn't even look like he's considering us as an option.

His representative Eris Kismet has given a damning assessment of Chelsea’s pursuit by saying the probability of the 22-year-old joining them is the same likelihood “that Christian would go to Turkse Rangers”.

Turkse play in the seventh tier of Belgium football and are regarded as an amateur outfit.

I suppose I can see why spurs would be an appealing option for him, but why the vehement aversion to joining us?

[Mouri_Matic 560]

To be fair on the outside he really seems like an ungrateful dick with 2 transfer requests in 2 consecutive years. However if it purely for ambition then I could understand, furthermore he is not as good as Lukaku so don't want him here anyway. Need a second season to prove he is not one season wonder like Cisse, Zaki.

fuck off there is an account on twitter called kristoff terreur or something? IMO hes a clear fucking WUM and a spurs fan. Think to yourself would he really fucking rather play for that Belgian second tier team than Chelsea? Please, what the actual fuck. Biggest nonsense in a long time

Turkse play in the seventh tier of Belgium football and are regarded as an amateur outfit

over CL football with Chelsea and his pals Hazard, KdB, Lukaku and soon Courtois?

Yeah. Right

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

ok is the true , a question , who is better , Demba Ba or Benteke ?

much prefer to keep Ba

[Ollie 4,400]

He blatantly put a transfer request in for us to get him. He must look at us and think about the Belgian influence and the fact that we're looking for a striker. I can tell you now that this boy wants to come here, it's obvious.

I don't want him - @SeB hit the nail on the head - he has mental issues - we already have Torres

IF

We could move Torres on then he would be worth a punt - but not at 25million

I'd much rather invest time in Lukaku - who can be better than Benteke... I find it weird that nobody is also mentioning the impact Andreas Wiemann made on Villa - he has the pace (even more than Benteke) to open up the opposition and give Benteke more space time, I just don't see Bentke working at CFC...

Anyway, unlikely to happen so wont waste too many words - good luck with the Spuds son!

[Hutcho 8,443]

The media are at times just mind boggling. I mean they are that desperate to fill pages they just write anything they can think off.

Jose has already said about how he wants Lukaku here and he is in his plans, and Lukaku wants to stay and is looking forward to next season, yet they write about a possible cash plus Lukaku deal. I am sure every year the bar for good journalism goes down and down.
