The training academy is a great idea. So long as the products to come through are used for the success of the football team I support, and not for the success of others. So, my question was quite straightforward really. If the best players of the academy are kept at the club with the aim of challenging for honours, fantastic. Hats off to Levy. If they are sold as soon as an acceptable offer comes in, I would say it`s blatant profiteering on the part of ENIC. Would you agree ?
Well, if Footiewriter says so..![]()
Nope he got injured came back and then struggled with fitness but played 6 out of their 9 matches but then he got injured againNope - he was injured, but then couldn't get back in when fit again.
He does certainly seem to have purple patches... Which we aren't exactly unfamiliar with, of course.I've not googled this to check, so could be bollocks, but isn't Benteke a very streaky player? I think of him as someone who plays well for four games, then is fucking terrible for the next twelve.
Might be to do with the service he gets, but I'm not convinced he's worth a place in our team. And £25m is plenty cash for a back up striker.

I'm not keen on strikers that don't score. We've a couple of them already.He does certainly seem to have purple patches... Which we aren't exactly unfamiliar with, of course.
:defoe:
But Benteke seems to be a handful for opposition defences, whether or not he scores in a match. Given that Kane is getting marked out of games more and more, having someone compliment him as another heavily marked man would be no bad thing.
(That assumes we can play them together, which would surely be the case given the quoted prices)
Nice holdup play from Benteke, too.

:soldadowtf:
In fairness, my preference would be for a nippy bastard who can make runs off Kane (or play alright on his own), so more of a Martial than a Benteke.
But at least Benteke would give us some proper squad rotation for Europa and the cups, should we play him as a lone striker.
