    He used to get buckets and buckets of abuse and insults at Arsenal before he left, and now he's Frances record goalscorer.
    Amazing what playing to someone's strength can do ey!

    I’ve often thought that he’s been underrated for years.

    I remember when Liverpool signed Benteke and I argued/discussed with a friend when I said that Giroud was streets ahead of Benteke. I think it’s safe to say I was correct.

    Definitely mate. Benteke was fantastic at Villa however, that move to Liverpool just seemed to strip him of any quality- tbf ironically they didn't play to his strengths either. Cross after cross at Villa, not at Liverpool. Then just never seemed to regain his early form at Palace. Similar to when Torres left Liverpool to Chelsea. Although Chelsea have a real poor record with strikers... Shevchenko, Torres, Kezmam, Crespo, Falcao, Higuain, Batshuayi, Ba.... endless!

    Does seem rather strange to buy a target man and not utilise him. They did the same with Carroll.

    Yep, Chelsea sure do know how to destroy a striker or 2!

    He seems to have been back on an upward curve since he got the gig for the Cinch advert 'cos he was never as good as Dale Winton on Supermarket Sweep.
