I don't see why he couldn't fit in with us. Uber lone forward who will hold the ball up. Ok we want him to be pressing from the front but who's to say Poch wouldn't be able to get him to do that.
The problem is though why would he want to come here and play second fiddle? Uprooting Harry would be extremely difficult now.
Anyway I don't believe Liverpool would sell him to a rival for a knock down price either, and after only signing him in the summer....can't see how this would have any legs to it whatsoever.
In a perfect world though he'd be a class addition to back up Kane and to give him some competition if we could nick him on the cheap.
Because something suggests that Klopp isn't happy with him for some reason, he like Pochettino likes his players to work hard and press from the front and so far Benteke hasn't shown anything that either manager likes so what makes you think Poch can suddenly turn him into a the player that Klopp couldn't?
Besides I think we need a player who can play instead of as well as alongside Kane and Benteke is kind of one dimensional in that respect you either makehim the focal point of your attack or you don't play him at all, also it's worth pointing out that Kane is better suited to our setup as Kane is able to drop deep, drift wide and play players in/pick out passes, I wouldn't say that Benteke has that skillset in his locker.
