Depending on ambition levels, the current player standard (bar a couple) shouldn't be used as the gauge.
Benteke is a upgrade on Balotelli for example, but is he good enough for a title challenge?
But we aren't good enough to aim for that yet. Is Benteke good enough for a top 4 challenge, still no. Massive mistake of a signing.
Is Teixeira good enough to improve us for a top 4 challenge, everything I've seen and heard about him suggests yes.
