Would anyone take Benteke if Palace went down?

Why are there suddenly so many Dembeles?
I've been saying this for years.Sell Kane, he is just a 3 season wonder who now only scores hat-tricks......
Seems a bit too staticWould anyone take Benteke if Palace went down?

No, I don't think he would be a good fit.Would anyone take Benteke if Palace went down?
Maybe Winks is the future, tactical flexibility is key in the squad, I'd support thatYes- exactly! Against the "Top 6" he is invaluable in nullifying their excellent midfielders. But against the smaller sides who aren't trying to attack, he's given the ball in an advanced role and struggles to integrate himself in our attack effectively. He has a hard time redistributing the ball quickly enough. It's like he plays as if he is Lebron or Kobe in an isolation set on the wing- everybody else back off and give me space as I stare this guy down and prepare to break his ankles. And then what? No plan usually- timid ball out to the wing, or a hospital ball to Eriksen in the middle.
At this point, and I am being serious, I would really like to see Winks in for him against all the lesser competition where we don't need two defensive midfielders. It might actually be good for Dembele anyways as he is not quite youthful anymore to play full 90's twice a week anyways.
I gave it on good authority from the Man Utd supporter at work who never goes to games he only scores penalties against shite opposition....Plus he only scores when we win!
Tammy Abraham from Chelsea? They're playing a one-striker system and brought in Batshuayi for 30m, doubt he'll get a look in anytime soon. Looks a proper player too, 21 goals for Bristol City in 30 something games
Quality player, first noticed him a few years back destroying City's youth team. Started as a wide-right forward and was unplayable, like a peak Adebayor but with a better attitude.
With Costa wanting out they surely won't want to sell Abraham; if they did though, there's no better club or manager for an uber-talented young English kid to develop than Pocchettino's Spurs. A lot of British kids at City and Chelsea must get to 18 and realise they're not getting a chance any time soon (hence Solanke rejecting a new deal at Chelsea) so there could be a niche to entice them over with a view to becoming the next Kane, Dier or Alli.
