New striker Jonathan Benteke can’t wait to get started in his new Boundary Park career. He said, “I am happy to be at Oldham Athletic. I will do my best to play good here and stay in League One. I’m really happy and let’s start now. I played my first game about a week ago (on trial) and it was not too bad. I tried to help the team and do my best but now I am looking forward to the next game and to help the team.”
“I know that it is a tough league but I will fight and do my best to be as good as I can. It was good at Palace and good abroad but now I am at Oldham and I want to show my qualities. I prefer to show what I can do on the pitch. I can keep the ball and I think I am a good finisher but I prefer to speak on the pitch. [Christian] said to me to give my best in every game to help the team. He will follow the game and the team and he is happy for me. He thinks it’s a good move for me.”
