vyelkin posted:tbh I don't think Liverpool should sign Benteke because there are no signs that Rodgers knows how to use a striker with his skillset so he would probably not score many goals and people would make fun of the club for ruining another good striker and then he would be sold at a loss and score tons of goals for his next club. Benteke also isnt all that at all, and the kind of sums being thrown around for him are absurd relative to his ability

TelekineticBear! posted:Benteke also isnt all that at all, and the kind of sums being thrown around for him are absurd relative to his ability I rate Benteke. He's good with his back to goal but is also quick enough to play off the last defender. Think he'd be effective as a lone front man or playing along side Sturridge. He's less of a gamble than spending large on Bacca imo.

And this is compared to a guy as good as BENZEMA. Ninpo fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Jun 22, 2015 |

Benzema is really good and you can tell he's playing within the team at Real. He's the focus point for France and he looks great there as well. Anyone will look overshadowed when playing with Ronaldo scoring 60 goals a season

I've read about an alleged 32 million pound buyout, dunno if that's true. If it is, seems to me like the only teams that can afford that probably don't need him that bad.

I don't see how Rodgers would possibly get the best out of Benteke given his track record with strikers and for what they're asking. He (over)spent money on Borini, never played him (probably because he realized he was poo poo), flat-out refused to work with Carroll then with Balotelli, although a risk to begin with, absolutely was incapable of playing in the way Rodgers seemingly wanted. Strurridge seems to be very much the exception but I'd credit that more to him being played as an actual striker, being healthy for more than 3 consecutive games and the presence of Suarez opening up more opportunities, not so much Rodgers being a tactical genius to get the best out of him. What I'm trying to say is Brendan Out.

Borini is the right type of player to fit into how Rodgers wants to play, unfortunately he's poo poo. Rodgers and FSG were 100% right to sell Carroll and I don't think there is anyone who thinks we made a mistake getting rid of him. Balotelli was clearly not a Rodgers signing and I feel bad for the guy that he was saddled with that mistake.

Giroud is better than Benteke at both hold up play and overall integration with the team. Benteke is better overall but Jesus do you have eyes?

Rangers have signed Rob Kiernan Warburton and Weir are obviously building from the back, and that partnership inspires more confidence than McCulloch and Zaliukas. Still not sure on Eustace, seems like it's going in the wrong direction. Ewar Woowar posted:Benteke has more goals in less games than Giroud in the Premier League and that's for a FAR worse side. They're very different players with very different jobs and roles, I don't know if Arsenals style of play would ever actually suit a Lukaku type of player.

Loving Africa Chaps posted:No he hasn't? Plus he's villas only outlet for goals up front. Going off wiki he has. Not that that's a totally reliable source. They are different players and Giroud is a far better link up player (actually I think he's one of the best in the league) but Benteke has a lot more strings to his how than being a big oval office up front. He can actually play off the last defender as he's quick- something Giroud most certainly isn't. They're both great players but I think there would be just as many people who would take Benteke over Giroud than the other way around.

euroboy posted:Benteke is so good that he's still going to play for Villa next season after being linked with big clubs for years. Maybe... It's surprising that Liverpool, Tottenham or even United haven't made a move for him. All three need a striker and Benteke is only 24 and has a pretty good goal scoring record for a pretty terrible club. I mean he's not going to be cheap but he'd be a lot less of a gamble than most.

Johannes Geis from Mainz to Schalke is a Done Deal. A couple of signs show that Kevin Trapp might make his way from Frankfurt to PSG, if Eintracht accepts the offer.
