I preferred your previous pic.....change back !

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

He seems to be the best of the available options and the one Ron wants so lets stop foolin' around and get him in!

 

[TheBigIguana]

Giroud or dzeko if it was one or the other?

I'd have a tough one with that choice but Giroud is way more available at the moment

 

[Bob Elstone]

Too old, prefer Benteke.

 

[Toffeepot]

Too old, prefer Benteke.

he'll play well into his thirties

Too old, prefer Benteke.

at 20mil hes a proven consistent performer that has probably 2/3 years at top level left. he brings a lot of what the team are missing at the moment. we can work on the rest of the squad and then in a year or 2 buy who we really want.

nothing against him but personally i dont want to see us invest in benteke.

You sir need to puff, puff, and pass.

I'm not exactly optimistic it would happen, but man would he give just what this squad needs. A few of those Connolly crosses today...

Happy to respond to your intelligent, respectful reply.
He has his limitations. You don't become a perennial bench warmer for the 5th team in the league for no reason, to then become the star signing for the 7th team with "ambition" looking to break into the top 4.
I think we deserve better after selling our top striker is all I am saying.

Kinda like Morgan Schneiderlin?

Yeah, he beat me to it.

Giroud isn't Rom. He's simply not as good. But he's a decent replacement. If we can improve everywhere else, put Giroud, Sandro, Rooney up top, we should,be okay.

True. But I would prefer we spend the Lukaku windfall on a better striker if possible.

They've been a top 4 team for years and he started for them a lot until he sat behind one of the best players in the world and still scored more per minute than Lukaku did. Next.

Agreed. Not that Giroud is bad, but Benteke is a bit more rangy, explosive. That being said, Giroud can hold and distribute, so if could ever get some attacking middys that could score - Klassen, Sigurdsson, Rooney - he might be a nice fit. Just feel like Benteke would score a bit more and just raise hell against the reds.
