On the public showings so far he indeed comes across as a Gentle Giant.

Perhaps - just perhaps - he quite fancies being the main man at a club isn't quite a faceless corporate soulless sports franchise.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

I think he is very capable with his back to goal, we good it up to him he chests it then sprays it out wide to Andros who takes it up the field. Happened a couple of times today, and relieves the back 4.

Couple of problems with that is that it should be done against better teams who we can't play through, Sunderland we should have been better than all game, they are pretty crap, but we didn't have the personel. Secondly I think it works better with Zaha and Andros as you have 2 players breaking with speed not one who is eventually isolated or at best wins a free kick or corner. Also we didn't have our most solid defence in today, hence we conceded 2 and looked shaky at the back, once Dann is back we will be laughing.

Can't deny that it works even if it's a waste of his ability. He did get on the end of a cross. I do agree with you though, he is a very talented footballer as well and that's why he is so valuable and so much better than Wickham as he can play any system even if we pass through the opposition. Also makes you wonder why Klopp got rid, he is more than just a big man up top.

Class act, will help take the club forward. Thanks SP and 2010 for making it happen

Thought we signed Remy to do that and I am sure he will deliver.

I vaguely remember a few people on here saying what a waste of money Benteke will be and how injury prone he is. I wonder if they have changed their minds now?

worth every f***ing penny!
