Welcome Christian!

You can probably afford to buy some new jeans now.

Fair to say this one has polarised the fans probably more than any of our big money signings in recent years. However, now he is here, I am sure everyone will get right behind the lad and give him a fair chance. Not who I wanted to sign by a long shot but he definitely has his strengths and hopefully we will see Brendan's plan for him. 15-20 goals in his first season would be a good start.

Welcome to the best club in the world Christian, do the shirt proud!

He appears to have dropped some paint on his trousers...

...at least I hope it's paint.

Paint you say?

Welcome big man

Now do unto others what you've done to us in the past

Keep him away from the pens though. 32 million quid and he signs the contract with a chewed up bic biro

LFC UNTIL THE MANAGER IS NO LONGER DESERVING OF MY SYMPATHY · « **Reply #87 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:26:33 pm »

Delighted.

Give him supply, he will score.

As long as he isn't isolated, he will be a success here.

Broad Spectrum · « **Reply #88 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:27:04 pm »

Great signing, really looking forward to seeing him on the end of Milners deliveries, sure they can form a deadly partnership.

N0rnIr0nRed · « **Reply #89 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:27:08 pm »

He looks a little bit like Mike Tyson.

edge · « **Reply #90 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:28:19 pm »

Looks to have a good lean on him.

Excited to see if it translates to the pitch.

Welcome Christian!

Nick110581 · « **Reply #91 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:28:29 pm »

Quality signing in my opinion.

Solomon Grundy · « **Reply #92 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:28:35 pm »

He's got a big block head. I wouldn't want to get nutted off him.

the red symphony · « **Reply #93 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:28:47 pm »

Effortless lean. Relaxed, yet confident, with an unmistakable quality of belonging.

He's not pretty is he?

And that lean looks a little light. Not like Clyne's who had the strongest and best double-armer anyone has ever seen!

Lol what the fuck? forget his looks man

Massive welcome big man and good luck...

Welcome Benteke! Youve got all our backing! Now go out there and score / create them goals!

Delighted with this news!

Kopenhagen · « **Reply #97 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:29:51 pm »

Welcome.

Get him on penalty duty immediately.

planet-terror · « **Reply #98 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:29:54 pm »

Excited by this. Welcome Christian. Score score and score some more

paddysour · « **Reply #99 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:30:37 pm »

Potentially world class, one of the best around for his type. Here's hoping Rodgers makes us into a well functioning unit.

I have my doubts, but if it works we've got two very good goalscorers upfront again.

Assured lean all right.

Last time we did a transfer under the radar like this was Assaidi.

Welcome Chris, fucking smash it!!!

-HH- · « **Reply #104 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:32:47 pm »

What a thoroughly shit first interview. Love him already.

N0rnIr0nRed · « **Reply #105 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:32:51 pm »

And good riddance to him scoring against us when we play Villa!

The fee for him should nearly be justified just for the points we won't have to drop to Villa now!

Seriously, though, he's now our best penalty taker, with Balotelli likely leaving.

Also, no number? Looks like he has his eye on Lambert's '9.'

What a transfer window. 7 signings by July 22nd. Holes plugged. Well in, FSG.

Get in! This guy in front of Coutinho and Firmino! Bring on next season!

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #110 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:34:11 pm »

Welcome Christian.

Married at 24, stability off the pitch too which Brendan will be pleased about.

Butter Keks · « **Reply #111 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:34:31 pm »

Made up this is all finally signed and sealed. The man is a goalscorer and a very good one to boot.

May as well leave my favourite gif as a convincer -

That kit is so glorious and champions-elect worthy. We are so winning the league.

Beast mode.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but did the club make him do some painting? Hence the delay. Look at the state of them jeans.

please, I have my reasons for it but... · « **Reply #114 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:36:05 pm »

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #115 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:36:29 pm »

He's got everything in his locker to be a very good striker for us.

Lets hope the pressure doesn't get too much for him and he hits the ground running!!

I think he'll bang in the goals for us!!

Can't wait to see him playing for us!!

Mamadou · « **Reply #116 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:36:53 pm »

welcome

keyop · « **Reply #117 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:37:35 pm »

I'm delighted we've signed him and I think he'll do really well for us. He seems to be quiet and modest off the pitch and a beast on it, which is something I like in a player.

Welcome Christian - may your time with us be filled with goals and trophies.

He's just a target man though

John C · « **Reply #119 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:39:04 pm »

Any one that's got an issue with the fee needs to bury their caution, I think we're buying better than our other "big" strikers over the last 20 years and although I was very uncertain during the last few weeks I'm now extremely optimistic. We have to regard the fee as irrelevant and contextualise all transfers this Summer.
I'd certainly rather be entering the season with him than without him. I'm positive he'll be a contributing addition - unlike other strikers we've got on our books. He adds dimension, power, height and a genuine bullying ability that we've lacked recently albeit we didn't need it when we had Suarez.

Good luck lad, hopefully you won't need it and you'll settle in brilliantly - we're desperate for you to.
