Jonathan Benteke offered to United

Hearing Jonathan Benteke (younger brother of Christian Benteke has been offered to us after being released by Crystal Palace . He didn't do much there but has some talent , pacey with good strength. Might only be rumours but could be interesting.

....something about younger brothers......ok....if its true lets have a look.....but the ghost of Rodney is still haunting the club

Sounds dodgy. 3 goals in 40 appearances at a poor standard? For the money we'd pay him why not get a proven championship striker?

The top division in Belgium is a far higher standard than the Scottish championship and Zulte finished 3rd top last season.

Having said that I have no idea if he is dud or not.

But he did nothing in that division.Dobbie is a better shout for me. He also didn't play for Zulte last seaosn

Very good shout, and agree rodney was the first thing I thought about when in read this

All I'll say is we shouldn't take a gamble on any players, tried and tested is what we need this season

a) the Belgian top flight is better than the Scottish Premiership never mind the championship
b) he was playing in said league when he was 18. Must of been something about him if he was getting game time at that level at 18.
c) he was bought by a premiership outfit and has been training and learning from strikers like his brother

N'koyi hasn't played at his level but we welcomed him with open arms? Jackie is gone people, the youtube days (allegedly)are done. I'd be happy to offer the boy a trial if there is any truth in this. My gut feeling is that he will end up in the lower leagues down south though.

Yep. Anyone who's been around at that level is well worth a look for the likes of us.
