I would like Benteke. He lacks top half premier league or big club experience though. Either him or Higiuan if they all cost the same.

Lacazette would suit the style we supposedly have more than Benteke, is relatively young (would have sell on value) and is therefore the better option. Man City chose Bony over Benteke and we weren't keen on Bony (similar players in my opinion). I just don't see a fit with Benteke, in the way I do with Lacazette. If we can get him to come here (offer a good package) I'd put him top of any list of even remotely serious potential buys. Him and Firmino would be a move towards what we had with Sturridge and Suarez. It would be a no-brainer, to me. Spot on.

At least try to sign Lazarette as first option offer him excellent wages and he will come, next a cheeky offer for Higaiun at say 30mill, then Rondon last option Benteke at 15mill because that is what he is worth no more.

A proven striker in the Premier League who scores one in two, a 24 year old Belgium international & probably first choice when fit, 49 goals in 99 games for a pisss poor Aston Villa side and you seriously think he's only worth £15million? Honestly, you can't make this stuff up.

Honestly, you can't make this stuff up. Yeah look at his goals per season and his number of appearances every season. He was bought for 7 million by Aston Villa and his best goals return was 19 in 2011/2012. So it's just about right to buy him for 32.5million, right? Do the math. LOL. How many goals did he score last season, how many games did he go without scoring? What are we paying now 1million per goal. Will BR now play to his strengths as he did to Balotelli and Lamberts. Fvck man I get it you have a man crush on the big Belgian. Our record with proven players suggest what to you? Lovren, Lallana, Balotelli was proven and bought at inflated prices.

Benteke 13 goals 2014 / 2015 season - 15 in all comps 10 goals 2013 / 2014 season - 11 in all comps 19 the season 2012 / 2013 - 23 in all comps and new to the league Sounds about right for a strikers who average 14 goals per season to be valued at 32.5 million pounds. Fabio Borini scored 7 goals for a p!ss poor Sunderland team 2013 / 2014 season. He is probably worth 15 million

Where did I suggest he was worth £32.5million? In fact I've said a number of times that he's not worth that much.
I think it's you who needs to 'do the math LOL' - Using your own logic (and I use the word logic quite wrongly), if Borini scores 7 goals for Sunderland and you think he's worth £15million, what is Benteke worth when he has consistently scored double what Borini has over the course of three seasons? Since you're busy 'doing the math LOL', remind me what's double £15million again?
I don't have a man crush on Benteke or in fact any preference for which striker we sign (as long as they can get the job done), I just have a low tolerance for people who constantly spout sh!t.

Dear KingofTheKop
What is Benteke worth in your opinion?
The Borini example was meant as a joke or a failed attempt at sarcasm, get it (smiley)?
Benteke has had 3 Seasons in the BPL.
How many games are there in a season, multiply that by three and your answer is? Now deduct the 99 games that he played from the amount and you will see how many he missed (note that excludes cup games etc).
Here is how I look at it.
Lets take last seasons 38 games in the BPL he scored 10 goals - yes he was injured. But he scored 10 goals and that is only 3 goals more than Borini did in the same season for a weaker team. Now that must be BS reasoning lol.
Now season 1 - 23 goals Excellent. Season 2 - 11 goals World Class lol and roll on Season 3 - 15 goals whoop dee fvcken doo. Let's see now we can use stats to work for our argument or against and ....
More insults didn't expect anything else old chap. I await your informed reply (sarcasm)

lambert went ultra defensive at villa, as soon as sherwood took over and went on the attack benteke was the most inform striker in the prem. As BR likes to attack and we have more creative players than villa one would hope benteke can kick in loads of goals. He is a beast of a player and only going to get better. I'd pay the release clause, might not be worth it but most prices are over inflated .
