Benteke

[Eagleman13]

He's only gone & won the MLS Golden Boot award . . . Flop Palace sold for cheap has just won Golden Boot award

 

[ASCPFC]

Crap league but fair play to him.

 

[Jacey]

He had a fantastic scoring record with Villa and Belgium.
His goals also kept us up in his first season.
Failed with us due to Roy's negative tactics,in all probability.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Fair play indeed. He's outscored both Suarez and Messi (albeit in Messi's case he's scored 3 more in 11 more games).
If he was a year younger we'd have a bid in for him.

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

He cost us 60m, he was a complete arrogant, useless, self centred, arshole, and that were his good points.

He'll be looking forward to your appearance when he's on This is Your Life.

Blimey Teddy, is that still a thing? 🤣🤣

Agreed, laziness and not having the fire in his belly to attack balls in the penalty area were the main reasons I didn’t like him.

You have a point Monkey! Whatever the current equivalent is will turn into a semi-celebrity roast.

Eamonn Andrews would turn in his grave if they had that lazy lump on 🤣

Michael Aspel is only 91. They could have a race.

I didn’t know he was still alive 😳 Michael Aspel I mean not Benteke🤣

 

[PalazioVecchio]

my least-favourite Palace player ever. A financial black-hole amid the stars of our firmament.

benteke was the symptom. The cause seemed to lie in the Boardroom. Our reluctance to sack Benteke and then us having the madness to extend his contract....points to something very rotten in Denmark.

You might find a pulse somewhere but not during a match.

He attacked the ball enough to wrestle it away so he could miss that penalty against Bournemouth.

But what sort? My guess is a chickpea. Maybe a lentil.

Fair point, I doubt there’s many who’d want to upset Luka the Serbian mafia like that 🤣

But seriously, that summed up the arrogance of the man, only thinking of himself not the team, especially at a time when Luka was scoring penalties for fun

Surprising that he scored 49 goals for Villa and many elsewhere,before he performed so abysmally under Roy's system.

Not surprising really, he was bone idle with us and on easy street, I know Roy’s defence minded tactics didn’t help, but he didn’t exactly break sweat and try to make something happen or attack the ball in the penalty area when the ball did come over

 

[Motspur Park]

He was worth every penny and all of the pain just for his last minute goal against the Seaweed at the Amex!
