As far as the NT is concerned, if Lukaku had a better first touch we wouldnt even be talking about Benteke

He had a magnificent season, but I can't say more than that yet, might still do a Papiss Cisse in his second season in the Premier League, we'll see.

Is he better than Michu?

Yes but both are overrated at this point.

Cisse's troubles was down to Pardew being an utter moron, as long as Benteke's manager is competent he will be fine.

Benteke is pretty good. Better than Lukaku imo. Better in the air, better with his feet, Not exactly fast but holds the ball up 99% of the times.

But its just one half of the season he showed his true form. Too early to say anything.

I watched 3-4 games of Aston Villa this season, and I could just say that he was pure class, great striker that I can't imagine going for less than 15 million plus he's got so more room for improvement if he gets in bigger team with better playmakers and he is only 22 I think...
