got a feeling his three years with us will be the longest stay at any club during his career

No disrespect to them intended, but who would have thought, two or three years ago, that'd he'd be lining up for Palace.

Oh well, at least he didn't up signing for Smethwick.

I personally think he could well play for us again at some point in the near future

Benteke's desperation to get away from us led him to make a move to a side that simply didn't fit the way he likes to play the game. If there is one thing Sherwood (AKA the cock) would have done is played to his strengths. Rodgers was influenced by the committee up there to bring in a player that in no way worked in his system, but the money was there and spent and Benteke and his roach of an agent got rich. On the back of missing the WC, he then fucks up his chances of the Euro's by disappearing off the map as a footballer at the elite level at precisely the wrong time. Now instead of leading the line at one of Europe's top clubs which we all thought he'd be at if he just bided his time with us, he's now going to play mid table PL football for the next couple of seasons before trying to get a move away again. I have no doubt he'll do ok with Palace. It won't shock me to see him get 15 this season and restore some of his credibility, but he will never be the bright talent that threatened to be so much more while he was with us.

Good post. I've got Everton down as his next move.

We've needed a no 9 who can lead the line, get in behind and score goals since benteke left

I'm not sure if bamford is that man

It definitely isn't kozak tho!!

100% agree. I think without these we won't stand a chance of promotion. Get them and we would have the chance

RDM just said in the post match interview that he is looking to bringing in further attacking options, no surprise after watching todays game.

A 9 and a wide player, both with pace.  If that's our lot i'd be ok with that.

Once Jedi is sorted I think the options in midfield with Lyden as backup is enough for now, that's on the basis that Veretout hasn't gone anywhere and will be reintegrated if that doesn't change.

I would like a better right back but I think that can wait until the right option is available as Bacuna is doing a decent enough job.

Weve already got the two midfielders

I'd agree with that. Pace from wide and up front is essential.
