Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

Liverpool sign Benteke for £32.5 million.

Mentalists.

If he gets them 25-30 goals next season he'll be worth it, there's no reason why he won't he got 49 in 101 for Villa and Liverpool are a better team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's not at that level, that's my reason.

People might have said that about Suarez before they signed him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They didn't buy him for £32.5 million and at least he had a history of high goalscoring seasons.

Come on Zim, you are reaching by just plucking Suarez out of the air as an example.

They paid 23 million 5 years ago (prices have been going up so it's not far off) and Suarez goals were in the Dutch league which is a lower standard than the PL, Benteke has 49 goals in 100 games, that's a great record whichever you look at it, you might not like him but he's a goalscorer that's without question and in a better team he may well score more.

32 million is a lot, but these days that's the going rate for someone who scores goals.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

He's make or break for Rodgers, that's for sure.

In other news, City are seemingly in negotiation for De Bruyne

The going rate for a guy that has scored 15 and 11 in his last two seasons.

I can't quite fathom how you can seriously suggest Benteke has anywhere near the capabilities that Suarez (has reached); he has nowhere near the same skillset and it does him a disservice to even mention him really. Suarez is a guy with great talent, he is mental but he works his arse off in every game. Benteke doesn't and doesn't.

I'm not suggesting he's anywhere near as good as Suarez, just that he scores goals, he got 23 in his 1st season for Villa and the following season was hampered by injuries, he also spent a long time on the sidelines last season so that takes time to come back from. He's got potential to score a fair few goals in the right team.

Great player.

Always been a fan. Probably.

He's fine, but £32m good? Well, in a world where Sterling is 'worth' £49m then maybe, but it's all very silly.

£32.5 MILLION POUNDS for Benteke!
