Benteke has to be an upgrade on what we have....

[Yesterday Once More]

A past-his-prime Giroud, and an inherently unfit Wellbeck (who even when fit is not in Benteke's class as a goal-scorer). It would be a shame to see us end up with no-one else while he is banging them in for the likes of Palace or West Ham next season.....

[Mo Britain less Europe]

Not an upgrade, just a similar alternative to Giroud who is a better player all-round and still in his prime whatever that might be.

Palace will have Deeney and West Ham will have Carroll banging them in next season.

Well Palace turned him down so yeah... just right for the Arse :hehe:

Kevin Gameiro has just signed for Atletico Madrid, surely would have been worth a punt?

Haha, this notion of giroud being past his prime. This assumes that he had one. Included with Giroud Prime: shanks, elephantine running, silly facial expressions when he ****s up, unmerited badass tattoos.
