    Do you think the press 'run around' after Mourinho, Rodgers, Wenger, Pardew .... or is it reserved only for LVG?

    Last summer we were linked to over 84? signings. And before you say it, we did sign a good portion of them <laugh>

    That was my fault. I found all of matth's De Gea threads and bumped them all.

    I thought it was funny...

    I'd be happy with Rooney, Depay, Hernandez and Wilson as our four strikers. We won the league with Rooney and Hernandez as our two main strikers. Depay seems to have goals in him and Wilson will benefit from another season in the first team squad after scoring shed loads for the reserves and youth teams. Given that we now play with one out and out striker, do we really need more than 3 or 4 who can play in that position? I know Liverpool have something like 7 strikers but most of them are crap and you sometimes play two up top don't you?

    Anyone know what the hold up with Benteke is?

    How much do you think Villa want Liverpool to pay them to take Balotelli?

    Probably that extra £12m that Benteke isn't worth.

    Expect we'll ship out Lambert this week and Borini + Balotelli by September.

    There should be enough goals from your team to get away with only having two proper strikers. No idea how Depay does there.

    Seems you need defenders much more.

    I know they said yesterday the club doctor was flying home from the tour to do the medical ... really ... so maybe he's been delayed

    Probably got to the wages bit and Benteke has collapsed laughing, when he gets himself back together you will perhaps still hav time to raise the offer :)

    Threads get bumped down by new threads mate not posts. Feel free to find the frenzy and clamour of United fans on our new surprise signing. Probably easier to look at your own post history for that :biggrin:

    My guess is they are waiting for Lambert to go so that Benteke can take number 9.

    On a more serious note I'm guessing the club are waiting for the anniversary of the MH17 tragedy to pass before making the official announcement

    Liverpool Football Club are delighted to confirm the signing of Belgium international striker Christian Benteke from Aston Villa.

    The 24-year-old put pen to paper on a long-term contract with the Reds today after successfully completing a medical in London.

    Benteke has built a reputation as one of the Barclays Premier League's most clinical forwards since joining Villa from Genk in 2012, having scored 49 goals in 101 appearances for the Midlands side.

    During that time he has also become a regular fixture for the Belgium national team and has netted seven goals in 24 outings for his country.
    After completing his move to Anfield, Benteke told Liverpoolfc.com: "

    ***

    Obviously a talkative chap then <whistle>

    Is that "long term" as in Coates "long term"?
