Benteke - BOOOOOO the puns

Is that not a bit weird? He was happy to talk about the sterling deal before a medical had been done. Something feels slightly off about it all.
 
This is what I was getting at a couple of days ago. There's been nothing confirmed by either club, despite numerous Echo reports.

It's odd

They'd wait until after his medical? Like we often do. We'll hear about it tomorrow no doubt.
 
Could be another Remy situation. Some quack will shake his head and then we'll go out and buy Ibrahimovic instead.
 
But yeah, I agree it's odd. I'll actually be surprised if something isn't up at this point.

Yeah, we allegedly 'triggered' the clause. But it looks like we haven't - we've said we'll give you 32.5m over x years.

And neither side have confirmed they've agreed on it
 
He said earlier he wouldnt be commenting on any transfers. Not weird at all. Although he looked like he was going to headbutt that poor reporter if she asked one more time.

Benteke has the first part of the medical in London this afternoon and the second part in Liverpool tomorrow.
He'll sign tomorrow.

@BenSmithBBC: Cristian Benteke's #LFC medical will begin in London this pm. But will run into Tuesday. No problems anticipated
 
I think it's just so unnatural for him to not wax eternal when asked any question that it comes across weird when he has to suppress it.
 
The ways in which Benteke and Heskey are similar.

1. They are both black.
2. They are both tall.

/end.
Sounds like you want it to sound racist or something.
3. They're both physically powerful
4. They're both very strong at winning headers.
4. They're both reasonably quick, but not lightning fast.
5. They hold the ball up well.
6. They have the same hair style.
7. They were both used as target men before join him LFC.

Benteke is way more prolific. But there are similarities without turning it into a race thing.
 
There's absolutely no justification for him claiming not to know anything about it. He can just- politely - say he doesn't discuss transfers, or he can't discuss transfers, or just say 'no comment'. The way he did it was just unpleasant and barking.
