Rodgers was on Goals on Sunday the other week. He brought up the fact they lost Suarez and their number one target was Sanchez as he played exactly the same style. Pressing high up the pitch, across the entire back four. Anyways they never got him so they went for.......Balotelli who doesn't press...at all. Anyways they got rid of Balotelli and signed Benteke....who doesn't press....at all. Yet...the style of play remains the same and the style of manager remains the same. Their whole scouting commitee is a **** joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is better than the West Ham's if this world, but not quite at the level required for a Chelsea, or a City. His time at Anfield means he may have to take one step back before getting another "big club" come in for him. It's funny cause the "step back" to spurs would likely see him playing in the champs league next season. But Benteke definitely seems like a Levy signing. Spurs need another reliable striker especially if they get a top 4 finish. Benteke definitely has the quality, and Levy could likely get Spurs to sell him for a lot cheaper than what they bought him for because Klopp would want the money to sign someone he wants.

I don't think he'd suit the current Spurs style, as they also press high. Think he could go to Italy, or maybe somewhere like Southampton if they sell pelle Edited February 10, 2016 by mikeyp102 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The trouble Benteke has is finding someone willing to pay the asking price. Given the fee they paid I'd imagine Plop will want to recoup at least £20m plus and his performances this season may put a few people off paying that sort of figure. I said at the time that it was a risk for Liverpool, £32.5m buys you world class, in Benteke they paid that for someone who merely has the potential to be world class.

Keyblade Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Nah he was 90% there already. Averaging 1 in 2 goals for 3 seasons puts you there or thereabout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Should go to Milan after they send Balotelli back to Liverpool Edited February 11, 2016 by lapal_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Perhaps Mourinho could go in for him if he goes to Urinal? Not sure whether Liverpool would sell to them though, but they will struggle to make back their money otherwise at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho does strike me as the type of guy to have these kinds of epiphanies at the urinal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think benteke isnt being picked/suited to play for liverpool? Because i honestly have no idea how you can go identifying his weaknesses, and thinking he will do well at a team which magnifies these weaknesses even more. Hes just going to look "shit" for any team which is trying to dominate possession and forced to play against deep lines. Unless he wants to be a bench player to come on in the last 10 min when they need to go more direct which is what hes doing for liverpool atm.

Hes trying to play for a team and is failing? His weaknesses need to be told, whether its a surprise to to them or not. Thats the whole point of pundits, explaining why things are working or not. I actually think its the villa fans which just look at goals scored ratio and think he can just go play for any/majority top team just because of it.

Michael118 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Klopp is the problem at Liverpool not Christian Benteke. Unless he brings in some amazing players in the summer I don't see him succeeding there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
