And BTW, who wants to pay 120k a week to someone who is on holiday and can't even be with the preseason camp? Nahhhh....f^ck-it...let him stay at Liverpool and let him train with them for 120k a week until the season starts. Then let him enjoy the Liverpool bench and see if we can't pick him up for 25million either in August or January. And don't forget, every 4 weeks of 120k is just 20k shy of 1 million. Nahhh...pity...but we want to keep our financial strength. Someone like a Defoe or a Charlie Austin or both! And we'll still be pushing for Europe...so...F-OFF Liverpool.


No it isn't!

Can he lead the line? YES
Can he play with his back to goal? YES
Can he play the lone striker role? YES
Can he meet crosses? YES
Can he out jump defenders? YES
Does he out battle defenders? YES
Does he make good runs between defenders? NO

Some facts:

He won 188 aerial duels last season – the most in the Premier League despite making only 29 appearances. To put that into context, Southampton's Graziano Pelle won the second-most, with 176, but having played in 38 games.

In the past 4 seasons Benteke has scored 59 goals in 143 appearances in all competitions, that's a goal every 2.4 games.

He scored 51 goals in open play, 18 headers and 33 shots (25 with right foot, 8 with left foot). 33 of the 51 goals came from crosses from wide positions (27) and corners . 47 of those 51 goals were scored within the box, 16 within 6/7 yards.

The other 8 goals were 7 penalties and 1 free kick.

The usual transfer fun and games with his agent now claiming a deal was never close. These people are like snakes. Who knows what was really happening or what will happen now? My betting is that he won't be coming and Palace will now be looking for their third choice in the transfer market.

 


The right place at the right time

It's in the daily mail that Liverpool are holding out for all of the 32.5 they spent .. There negotiating hard ball, it's nice that in. The article it claims one of the reasons Benteke wants to go to palace is due to the quality of transfers we have bought in so far.

he's a year older than when the bindippers bought him-
Things devalue with age.

 


Touch my coffee and I will slap you so hard even Google won't be able to find you.

He's worth as much as Liverpool want him to be, there is no formula or reason to players costs, just look at spam who have "valued" Payet at £100 mil.

By that logic no player would ever increase in value!

You are comparing apples and pairs. Liverpool want to sell Benteke whereas spam don't want to sell Payet hence the ridiculous value of £100 mil. Just a different way of saying he is not for sale. We have done the same with Bolasie.
