I actually like the George range. That's what I wore at graduation and on my wedding.
Benteke - BOOOOOO the puns

As did Ryan I believe.
*faints*
Are you trying to make my argument for me? Di Maria, Fellaini, Shaw - these are the very definitions of disastrous signings. Vast overpays for players who don't elevate the team to the next level. By rights, United should have won the title after spending that much money. All they managed was to scrape a 4th place finish.
Chelsea on the other hand - 30 million each for Costa and Fabregas, and those two alone took a third placed team to a title.
If you have 30 million to spend on a player, make sure you're doing it on a player who has that kind of impact. Or stay put.
Anyway, don't respond to this because I don't want to discuss Benteke further. It genuinely upsets me. Signing out from this thread.
I'm expecting us not to have 32.5m up front and it being a sticking point
L'pool had 1st option on Genk players until 2010. Benteke and Origi were there that time. #LFC now pay 42mm for both. http://t.co/6Q5ounxkhj
Also, sky saying bentekes not playing for villa tonight as he has a slight back strain

I think the question to ask really is how do we feel about Benteke leading our strikeforce in the CL. ?
That's like saying I might be cooking a casserole next year do ya want some.
Origi was 15 years old in 2010 and Benteke 19. It might be slightly frustrating, but who is to say they would have developed at our club anyway. It's not a fair criticism of the club.
Not criticising by the way, just thought it was an interesting fact
Dare I say we could have developed them and sold them for 44m + 5m add on each.
* that's a joke by the way *

Its funny how Liverpool fans don't think he's anywhere near good enough and Villa fans in unison feel he's far better than us!

Innit scary though when one of their fans writes this:

I'll probably get abuse for this but deep down i hope someone meets the buyout clause and we get the cash. I think Benteke is world class and i love the man for keeping us up for three seasons. But being realistic, i think the way we will progress up the table is to reinvest this money in 3 10-12 million type quality players. IMO if benteke stays we probably are fighting relegation again, if he goes and we bring in these 3 players then we move towars mid table. Its a gamble but sure what isnt with our funds.
You're not the only one on this train of thought, sometimes you have to let go to move on.
I don't want to be saved again by a bif man, I think for a team like ours he is halting progress to some extent. We need quality all over the pitch, and not the one dimensional game plan that having him is an unfortunate by product.
Jeepers, they really rate him, don't they?
He said he bought his wedding suit from George at Asda. I said you did too.
It was an attempt at a joke. A shit one, it would appear.
I don't think Ryan is able to comprehend buying a suit there.
It would be like asking Stephen Hawking what his star sign is.
