People saying it's hard to get excited over Benteke being the latest big buy. I've found a very easy frame of reference to get excited over new signings. I rate players now based on whether or not they are Dejan Lovren. For Eg. on this scale, Benteke is 'Not Dejan Lovren'/10. So therefore he's a good signing. Easy.
According to my scale, your scale still 'Not Dejan Lovren' so I endorse it entirely. Unfortunately the scale has its downsides. For example Neville Chamberlain famously went to Berlin to find Adolf Hitler to be 'Not Dejan Lovren', leading in part to WW2.
Right - the lad is officially ours so I'll back him. It's time you miserable f*ckers did the same! I'll back Benteke if: MITO backs Moreno Gez and IBWT back Balotelli Billy backs Sakho and admits he's a better player than Skrtel Luv admits that Lucas is garbage Jokes aside, I hope Benteke does well and proves me wrong. Now the interesting part is how Rodgers will get the best out of Coutinho, Firmino and Benteke simultaneously due to the clear contrast in styles. Also, I really hope Rodgers uses Gomez and Ilori this season - two talented players that need proper experience. Show some balls and play a young back line. Finally - time to make Anfield a cauldron again. Teams need to be beaten before they step out on the pitch.
Well we bought him to score 20+ goals a season, if he does that the price, where he came from etc won't matter a Damn. And if he doesn't? Sure we've plenty of experience in reacting to that lol... Tell you what though...we have the potential to put out a big solid team..getting bullied shouldn't happen this year..
