Pacquiao 1,834 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 An on form Ba is just as good as an on form Benteke. Whether you like it or not.as i said Benteke >>> Bano one said anything about being on form! Benteke is the better striker whether you like it or not!

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 We know Ba can be good but in all honesty i think benteke is better. He reminded me of drogba sometimes with some solo goals on his own. But ba is more dependent on passing to him.What im saying is that benteke is the more complete striker, Ba's linkup play is not even comparable with benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Why sign an inferior player to Ba, then sell Ba? yeah that would be pointless! but luckily in this case signing Benteke would improve our strike force massively, and selling Ba to make room for Benteke would be very good business.

Stingray 9,441 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Benteke is still so young guys .... Dont forget! Ba, even at Mousrcron in belgium had a lower potential. Much in the same way, i think the belgians agree, Bentekes potential is lower than Lukaku. Now he is a bit older, came - confidence wise from a better place. Of course , lukaku has joined the confidence squad and Steve did wonders with him. He will fire his cylindres next year! Could they do it together? Yes ..... as said the mojo between hazard, kdb and benteke is something special, so is there friendship! Especially crossing wise kdb - benteke woooooaaaa. Friendship wise its hazard and Hazard. What a dilemma. I would be tempted to do it and offload a striker ( maybe torres) .... If Ba would settle with that. Benteke will never be Lukaku though .... Not in a million years. The NT has used his momentum, now is Romelus time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky 301 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Another non story, splashing £25 million (What UTD paid for Rooney) on a player with one solid year behind him (well a very good year). Hell why didnt we just sign RVP last season?Guy is not a significant improvement on our existing strike force, and would be a large financial gamble. Whilst simultaneously impacting on potential game time for Lukaka. Never gonna happen. Chelsea usually seek out the best or cheap short term stop gaps. He fits neither of these criteria.

Lukaku will get a few starts and that but as seen at WBA he was effective coming off the bench with 30 minutes to go or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 if we sign him it will be like signing Drogba all over again! people will say we over-payed for a relatively unproven striker but at the end of the day Jose knows best as he proved with Drogba!

robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'd say Ba based on how well he did at Newcastle over the last 2 years is probably our best option at CF. Lukaku will get a few starts and that but as seen at WBA he was effective coming off the bench with 30 minutes to go or something. It's not about what he did or how many goals he scored... that's the mistake we made before. Standards are different, styles too, so are requirements. Newcastle can play to Ba strengths, but we can't afford that. Even Liverpool (without so many options) let go of Carroll because they can't use him. Benteke is a lot younger and seem to be an overall better footballer, but I haven't seen him enough to know for sure.So the real question is, "is Benteke a significantly better footballer than Ba right now, or perhaps in the near future?"

Bottom of the pecking order? I'd put Torres there or sell him. Ba is capable of scoring 20+ goals a season, you'd think with the players we have here he'd easily score that if he was played more than twice a month like under Rafa. Lukaku has the potential but he still has a bit to go yet to be better than Ba imo. He will eventually be better, a lot better but for now in my eyes Ba should be our starting striker with Romelu being second choice. Torres can just get to fuck.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I reckon we would get Benteke ahead of Arsenal and Pool if we really wanted him, the question is, isn't he all too similar to lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
