Overpriced but Liverpool are getting a very good player.
 
Strange one, not happy with Liverpool getting Benteke, reckon he will score loads of goals for them. Not saying I'd have wanted him for £32,5m, but he's 24 and there is plenty of time to improve... and he can stay fit, unlike Sturridge.
 


The Sun trying to make it look like it's between us and lfc after their bollocks story yesterday.
 
I don't get this signing tbh, their biggest attacking threats are going to be Coutinho & Firminho and I don't see how Benteke is going to help with the kind of football they want to play.
 
I guess it'll be their fullbacks who smack the ball into the box over and over again at him? They don't really have any width in their midfield.

I think Benteke is good enough to play for a top side, but Liverpool seems a strange fit.

And then there'll be all that shite about how they beat us to him. Can't stand most of the media.

They will probably bring LvG/Valdes in somehow and how it put Benteke off joining us.
The only way I would miss out on not signing Benteke is if we don't get another striker. Surely we have someone better in mind.

How many strikers do they need?

Lambert
Origi
Ballotelli
Firmino
Ings
Sturridge
Borini
Sinclair

+Benteke

Surely they should focus on other positions in their squad.
 
Considering the reaction we saw in the Sterling thread, I'm surprised no one is laughing here. I think Benteke is worse value and doesn't fit Liverpool as well as I think Sterling will fit in at City.

Hope so anyway. Benteke's a good signing for them - if the reports are true of course & that we're not in for him afterall..

Lambert and Balotelli are shit, Borini is shit and probably gone, Sturridge can't stay fit, Origi is still an unproven kid coming off of a shit season, and Firmino isn't an out and out striker.

They definitely need a proven striker. Benteke seems like a square peg in a round hole there, though.
 
I think most of us would take them replacing Sterling with Benteke...

I thought we replaced Sterling with Ibe? Carroll MkII is replacing Lambert-Balo-Borini. Firmino is just a bonus.
 
Who else can we think of that we have absolutely no interest in, just so Liverpool can beat us to their signature? We could bankrupt them if we do it properly.
That's what Woody is doing. I can just picture him and LVG sitting at a bar in Seattle getting smashed on Jonnie Walker Blue and Woody calling the Sun planting BS stories.
 
It's so obvious that Villa used us to get Liverpool to up their bid and meet Benteke's release clause.

To be fair, he's a good buy, much better than the strikers they have bought off late. He might prove to be a really good signing if he can stay fit.

I think he's worth the money Liverpool spent on him, they wouldn't find any better striker who is ready to join them at the moment.

I would like to think that football clubs aren't so gullible that their transfer bids aren't rushed based on media conjecture of another club possibly bidding.
