"Pointing out the Obvious" (as per your avatar tag) indeed, but it seems lots of bored SC-ers are in need of your services.What ITK has there been on Mahrez? none you say?! Oh.

Spoiler alert:So here we are again.
In a good(ish) position to get a Champion's League spot and in need of a striker.
Your move, Levy
What about Fazio?Spoiler alert:
Only move we make is Townsend's sale.
Kinda forgot we still had him, tbh. He's been missing for 3 monthsWhat about Fazio?
I always thought Benteke was the wrong fit for Liverpool under Brendan and it seems under Klopp too. I think he is the wrong fit for us too coz I don't see him tracking back and pressing like Kane. I think he would be great in 442 system but not for us or so it seems.
Thats interesting, as the radio commentary last night mentioned something of a return to / revival of 4-4-2.He's a Heskey to someone's Owen. Just no-one plays with Heskeys or Owens anymore.
if we can get benteke for the right price we should go for it. sometimes we forget the human factor in football players. look at vertonghen and see how much he improved after his long time friend join the club. the companionship, the friendship, chemistry of people whom you can connect or talk to plays a huge part in a work place.
even if its a school project, i've always been willing to work harder when im with my best friends or friends i enjoy working with. i can see benteke being much happier here with his belgian friends compared to being in liverpool.
benteke was very very good for aston villa. he was willing to run, strong, good at holding the ball, good in the air, good technique, he is a genuine kane 1 for 1 replacement without having to tweak the tactic.
against weaker cb you drop kane to number 10 and suddenly we become an insane aerial threat in set pcs with dier, toby, vertonghen, benteke, kane.
if kane is tired or in cup games we can field benteke and the team plays the exact same way
it would be stupid not to take him if hes available at the right price
We really should be looking at Batshuayi instead, (I'm sure we've had ITK on him at some point)I'm not too worried about Benteke's ability. His price, wage demands and injury record on the other hand......
That's what everyone said about Marhez last year. Doesn't help when they play for a shit team
Yes, especially his injury record. Far too risky for the price involved.I'm not too worried about Benteke's ability. His price, wage demands and injury record on the other hand......
Also IIRC he was shown around our training ground etc and chose them. I don't rate him and don't want him ( too injury prone). There are other players out there who would run through walls to join us and they are the ones I hope we will bring in.Not unreasonable? Are you kidding? No way in hell should we pay £30m for him right now. Stop. We have a stadium to pay for. £30m fee with £100k/wk wages? For Benteke? Hell no.
Despite them being two completely different players only being compared because they are black, Belgian and physical imposing.Benteke is just a poor version of Lukaku imo
So here we are again.
In a good(ish) position to get a Champion's League spot and in need of a striker.

Or that they are both similarly aged, Belgian forwards playing in the PL who have a similarly physical way of playing.Despite them being two completely different players only being compared because they are black, Belgian and physical imposing.
