Christian Benteke

He's ****.

I predict you're going to struggle to live this thread down in future

Btw, benteke=turd. I said so ages back. Not sure why my sig to that effect disappeared, but he is still turd and will remain turd. Turd.

Turd.

💩💩💩

Nope, he's turd. At least until next season. ����

Just stay fit. Preferably him and Sturridge but I'll settle for one off them being fit all season.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Didn't want him or his type of striker.

He's been very good when fit so far, still has a lot to prove on and especially off the pitch for his price tag.

But he's fitted in much better than I expected, very good player.

[Leyton388]

Seems to be that when he plays he scores. Let's hope he can keep it up.

Have you seen my rationale for continuously posting that?

Have you seen my rationale for continuously posting that?

That you're not the best judge of a player?

[Roboklopp]

Kin L, I only said it about 3 times. I was against him signing like i was Carroll & Balotelli- I immediately changed my mind once it became clear they were certs to join us & they turned out as I first expected anyways, so this time I won't change my mind until after a season cos he'll be cursed otherwise.



Is that our El Zahr playing for Las Palmas?

Told you so gloating post

[DannyMan2006]

I didn't want him but the main reason was I didn't see how he'd fit into a Rodgers team. That fast & fluid Rodgers style wasn't really happening with him. Klopp plays a different style & I think Benteke looks a good player in it. Far better than I thought he would actually.

[SB]

Him and Coutinho seem to have a great little thing going already, quality players just get "it" regardless of their supposed style.

And I'd add Lallana to that group.

humble pie anyone......... see my signature please

I've never been a huge fan and still aren't of his overall game, but if he keeps scoring goals then that's good enough for me. If Klopp can work his magic and can improve his all round game then he could become a very important player for us.

[Kenneth]

I think his general play before his injury was very good. He's definitely not just a target man, he can hold it up, pass to feet etc. He's not going to do step oversovers, ever, but I've been impressed.

[Fierce]

Thing is if you have players behind him, he gives defenders that much trouble that they can't just leave him one on one, so it allows other creative players to play more freely than they would otherwise

We know Coutinho CAN score goals, see today but needs to score more

Firmino, based on his Hoffenheim days, can do so too

I wasn't massively keen either based purely on my perception of his playing style, but he's been really good
