If he plays at least 30 league games then he will get us 15 goals.

I'm saying this now, if he (Christian Benteke) scores more than 16 goals for us next season i'm eating my cock.

Which of these do you actually want to happen

banksybanks · « **Reply #242 on:** July 22, 2015, 11:55:36 pm »

Delighted that we're seemingly nailing our first choices this year, getting it done early, and can't wait til the season starts. You're very welcome Christian.

The compilation of his goals last season made me realise he's more versatile than a lot give him credit for. Very strong in the air, faster than I thought, good with both feet and loves cutting in from the left.

Roll on August!

Upset that we've been taken to the cleaners (for the nth time) for a player of his calibre and never wanted him for that fee, we might as well have just added 5mill more and went in for a higher class of player with more proven quality.

I'm saying this now, if he (Christian Benteke) scores more than 16 goals for us next season i'm eating my cock.

That being said if he gives his all, tries his best, and genuinely wants to play for us and is willing to play out of his skin and scores, Then that's all we can really ask for and i wish him the very best of luck whilst he is here.

Fuck's sake mate, give it a fucking rest. Go and read the 200 pages of this shite in the TWATS thread. He's here now, support him - without all the unreasonable ass-covering caveats!

I would advise against making such claims. When the news started to filter through that Ferguson was going to retire I didn't believe it, and claimed exactly the same as you.

I am still unable to have children of my own.

Proven quality......has anyone else bettered 49 goals in there last 101 games in the prem?Cant be many and id like to see who on that list would be available.Over the odds....probably by £10m but Sterling was probably sold at around £20m over his true worth.Going off on a bit of a tangent did you see the couple of hundred blues celebrating his first goal for City....light years away from the sea of Red that witnessed Ings first goal.Welcome to the "big" club Raheem!

Reading the last sentence you'll see that i do support him and wish him the very best of luck whilst he's in LFC Colors and would be more than overjoyed when he scores for us and helps us win, however if he does go down the balotelli/borini/aspas/lambert route, i cannot help but feel that the substantial amount of money we paid to bring him here could have been spent on better quality more beneficial to the team and the rage i have at the fact that the club were flimflammed and held to ransom by the likes of Villa would consequently be magnified.

He has grown on me since we were first linked with him. Really hope he proves the doubters wrong, not only in our fanbase.

Good luck Benteke

I'm looking forward to seeing how he adapts to our system. Personally don't think we'll be lumping it up to him or regualrly crossing balls into the box.

ugh, his price is the going rate for a proven international goalscorer at his age. further more, the list of strikers you put up were all bought by Rodgers and then never played. if you have an issue with someone its with him. but lets stay on topic

Welcome Benteke, hope you have a splendid career here

Beninger · « **Reply #269 on:** July 23, 2015, 12:59:37 am »

I think it's very slick the way he uses defenders to block the goalkeeper's view.

Wouldn't work in our household that nickname, as its my wifes name and it would be way too confusing, like the time Dougal wanted to call his rabbit Father Jack.

"Liverpool were dealt a huge blow earlier today as Christian Benteke was discovered to only have one leg. The news will come as a huge shock to the Merseyside club, as the £32.5 million Belgian underwent a stringent medical before his move to the reds."

It wouldn't surprise me to see that headline over the next few weeks. I don't want to put a negative tone to things, but we've been cursed quite a bit over the last couple of years.
