Benteke - good buy for us?

  1. Not only that, but he is including Moreno who clearly needs improving on too; I'd prefer to play Enrique!

    My bad I meant Shaqiri. The fella that used to play at Bayern and has been wasted at Inter. Quality signing.

    Why would I put Firmino in??? You really arent reading what I'm posting are you <laugh>

    Your priority is getting top 4 not winning the league. You cant fix everything <laugh> You have improved your team marginally. You need real quality signings in enough positions to to get you top 4. You can choose to address the LB if you want but I think the areas I've said will be better. You pays your money and you takes your choice <ok>

    Deal not done yet because of this:
    Benteke, whose £32.5million release clause has been triggered by Liverpool, is thought to favour a club that can give him Champions League football - and that could cause a delay to his Anfield transfer going through.
    Belgium international Benteke is hoping one of the top four can offer him a platform on the biggest club stage of them all before he puts pen to paper with the Reds, who will play in the Europa League next season

    TBH when they signed Firmino, Clyne and Milner and all we had was Memphis I was worried for top 4, now though I feel they will be competing with Spurs and Southampton again for 5th.

    Hmmm, not sure about that, Judging by last seasons favourite tactic of lumping if forward to fellaini , i think he might well fit in and score quite a few.

    PS not saying I want him for us though, but if he is the best available to us then we have to have him.

    Brendan already has 3 or 4 strikers he has no idea how to use, what would be the point of another one :huh:

    Any world class player out of contract anywhere?:laugh:. I mean someone nearing the end of his
    career. Because of experience maybe that's what we need if we're unable to get Benteke.

    I wonder if his inflated price reflects the price on fantasy football?!? Only reason I put him in my team :bandit:

    To be honest though, I actually think it'll be a good signing. He's clinical and gives us options. In reality who else could we have got with no CL football? We needed a striker and for me he was the best out of what would have been possible. So If it was a choice of going into the season as we are or going in with Benteke - I'd go for Benteke all day long.

    If we manage to keep Sturridge fit - they have the potential to be a great partnership. And both of them are capable of playing up top alone. So all things into consideration, I think it's a good transfer. Albeit we have over paid, but that seems to be standard these days <laugh>

    @Daveunited

    Dave I see you applauded my comment!

    From an outsiders view - what is your honest opinion of the signing taking all things into consideration?

    Try and avoid your usual bias <whistle>

    What Bias?

    Hes a better striker then the other 3 most of you want rid of so other then the price tag there should be no problem.
