Spurs don't want ANY player with "Bent" as part of their name.

"We could probably get Benteke for about 20 million. How much would Cavani cost ? 50 million ? Maybe more."

100m for Falcao and Cavani ?? Peanuts to Roman.

Cannot stand greedy pigs

--------------------------------------------

Leave it out mate, its not as if I´m saying let´s sign Messi and Ronaldo.

I just want a truly top class striker and I think that Benteke is that player.

Lukaku will go out on loan next season anyway.

Don't want anymore Benny's at Chelsea

"If Spurs bought Benteke and kept hold of Bale I could actually see them being a threat for the title."

Here we go.

Benteke is nowhere near as good as people make him out to be.
Most certainly wouldn't turn anyone into title challengers.

I wasn´t saying that Benteke would turn just anyone into title contenders.

Mr Chelsea said he could see Benteke going to Spurs and I said that if that happened then Benteke would improve Spurs and push them from 4th or 5th place to 2nd or 3rd place.

Which couldn't be further off the mark. And is still absolutely ridiculous.

You're going on about him like he's this RVP/Falcao type world class striker.
He's just a poor man's Ba who's battling for Villa. Nothing special about him.

Now you´re the one who´s being way off the mark.

We don't have 3 strikers Sidey

He's not even better than Ba or even Lukaku, yet you think Chelsea should sign him.

Do you still think Ba should be first choice?

----------------------------------------------------------

If I was Chelsea manager I would have played Ba over Torres.

However as things stand I´m not even sure that Ba has a future at Chelsea.

he plays a similar to Drogba thats about it

He is nowhere near the mighty beast that is Drogba

Next season i meant.

-----------------------------------------------

Sideshow that´s a difficult question.

Depends who our strikers are next season.

As I´ve always maintained I rate Ba highly and he hasn´t been given a fair chance at Chelsea due to the Torres love-in by the Chelsea board and owner.

What happens with Ba remains to be seen but I would be more than happy for him to be at Chelsea next season as one of our two or three strikers in the squad.

Whether he will remains to be seen.

Agreed and I´ve acknowledged that in my article.

My point is that Benteke is only 22 and can get better, much better.

Was Drogba as good as Benteke when he was 22 ? I doubt it.

I understand that might be an unfair comparison as Drogba was a bit of a late bloomer but you get my point.

"Was Drogba as good as Benteke when he was 22 ? I doubt it."

Was Iniesta as good as Cesc was when he was 22?

posted on 15/5/13

only way i see a place for him is if we get rid of Ba and since he has barely had a chance to play for us i would say its unfair
