Hello fellow gooners, Today I am hearing from legitimate sources that a bid was made for Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke. However the bid was immediately rejected and left Paul Lambert very angry over the 'timing' of the bid and also the amount that was involved. I am not coming on here and declaring he will sign as another bid may not be made and for me he would not be the an ideal front man we are looking for anyway.

Like I said a legitimate source but I am too left with questions over this one for example why Benteke when his form has been appalling in recent weeks? Also he's too similar to Giroud! However there's no doubting on his day he is one of the worlds best at what he does.

I think people need to realise that players like Benteke and Giroud completely suit and compliment our style of play, they have the ability to hold up the ball and lay it off to one of our many gifted midfielders. They both have the ability to pick a good pass, win headers, and score goals. Simple blud!

I've also heard this. I don't know why so many people put this as "unbelievable". He would be a great signing to compliment our striking force. Plus he's only 23 :D

Willesden is it not better to have a variety of different strikes available so don't see what your point is
