Don't know. Maybe. In truth I'd be inclined to stick Benteke and Bent together for the rest of the season and try as best as possible to maximise the goals we get. We've got to do everything we can. If Bent scores enough, it could be the difference. It's all on Benteke at the minute.
Benteke scores about the same as Bent does, so can't see how much difference he will make. Unless we convert him to a centre half!

We need Bent's clinical finishing to save us, and as long as we have width (N'Zogbia are you listening?) we have a chance. It's our few remaining big players that will get us out of this god damn mess.

Someone put the stats on the transfer thread the other day and we actually get more from Benteke than Bent. When you add in Weimann, when was the last time we had two strikers on double figures by this point of the season?The reason we haven't been scoring enough is therefore lack of goals from elsewhere in the team.
