I'd rather have him than no one but there's loads of better options.
Benteke - BOOOOOO the puns

Pathetic.
I'm off to twitter for a while. Apparently there's a show about exploding heads about to start there.
First I'd do is stop comparing him so wrongly to Carroll. That be a good start... 😉
We've paid to much though. No doubt.
Much of the thread? Yes, I agree.
Robbie Fowler's opinion seems to have been taken on board. Assuming this 'rumour' plays out and the deal is completed.
Who though? We've discussed this loads. If Aubameyang and Lacazette arent interested, we risk a Balotelli type fuck up in August. Paid to much, no doubt. But Rodgers gets his nr 1 target.
Yeh I'm talking more about the fee than his attributes.. But they are similar in some ways.. Both Target men..
But given we have the money from the Sterling sale, he is home grown and his release clause.. Villa have us over a barrel.. Still I think there is better value for money options out there if we are going down this route..
I will get behind him though.. I hope he proves his doubters wrong..
Berahino...
Other papers are saying United triggered the release clause
I'm glad we're getting this sorted now. He's obviously Brendan's no. 1 target so I'm happy we've backed him rather than dithering until late August.
It means he can get settled, use pre-season to integrate and get fit, and hit the ground running in August.
No excuses Brendan now. Let's see if he's right where most armchair fans think they know better.
In excited to see how this pans out and am optimistic enough to think he'll prove better than most imagine.

In which case, surely he'd choose United.
At least this will bring to an end having to read about preparing a bid for Benteke every bastard day.
Dont think he'd improve us much more than Ings and Origi at this stage.
His attitude has also been questionable
'Don't cha wish your striker was'
'Ben-tek-e'
To the tune of Don't Cha by Pussycat Dolls.
It'll grow on you. LOL

Nonsense. Lacazette wasn't ever going to go to a team not in the CL. He's seen as the next big thing in European football. We had no fucking chance of signing him.
My only concern about Benteke is how he performs when he's not the main man and every single attack isn't played through him. Apart from that, I think he's a great player.
I think he'll be a success if we sign him, and large plates of fucking juicy humble pie might need to mopped up on here.

Wow. This is a terrible risk.
As I've said repeatedly, Benteke isn't a bad player at all - I do expect him to do reasonably well in terms of goals.
But I don't see him elevating the team to the next level. And that's what a 30+ million player should be doing every time. If he doesn't get us top 4, this signing is a failure.

'Ere Christian, if you don't get us into the top 4 it's all your fault. Just sayin'
No it'll be Rodgers fault for spunking 32.5 million on a player that doesn't take the team to the next level.
It's a rare opportunity for you to have so much cash to spend on one player. If you can't do it right, just don't do it at all. Delay your spending by another transfer window - you might get better value then.
Getting such a big signing wrong has the potential to set the squad back by at least 2-3 transfer windows.

No more excuses for not scoring from corners anymore, benteke clearly can header a ball!
