Outside of Powell and possibly Di Maria if he leaves, all those United players will get plenty of games this season. If Di Maria stays then he will too

Yeah but don't you sorta miss that Anderson/Cleverley midfield partnership?

Outside of Benteke, there's possibilities with Cavani, Kane (bit risky), Lewandowski (though can't see Bayern giving up their strongest and main world class striker, epecially after they said there would be no more transfers to United this window), Lacazette (who is a bit of a risk like Kane) and Higuain (who would be a royal gently caress-up).

But who could Liverpool sign?

Liverpool have signed Suarez, Carroll, Bellamy, Sturridge, Borini, Aspas, Origi, Lambert, Balotelli, Ings and now Benteke in the past 5 years.

This is actually kind of amazing.

There's a couple of stories knocking about that Liverpool rummaged around the back of the sofa for some spare players on massive wages that they didn't want in part-ex - but Villa kept saying no, £32.5m or gently caress off. Benteke is a proven 1 in 2 striker that has been plying his trade with a poo poo team at the arse end of the table, is Villa's focal point of attack and our best player, so it was always going to be a tough negotiation whatever Liverpool suggested other than £32.5m straight up cash.

Benteke will improve Liverpool, I reckon. He's easily the best striker I've seen play for Villa since, um, well, ever in my time watching them (not much competition, admittedly). He monsters defences, can score every type of goal, holds the ball up and lays off well and can play defence-splitting through balls for other players. He's got it all. I think only Ivanovic and Mertesacker may have his number in the Prem.

I keep going back and forth on Benteke. I think he's as good as the posters suggest, but he might end up getting Balotellied by Rodgers.

Still, I think he's the best striker that will actually sign for us, assuming Man U don't gazump us.

Yorke was brilliant but he had the benefit of playing in decent sides. Benteke has shone spearheading some of the worst Villa teams since the late 1960's.

I dunno why people think Benteke is just a big lad up front that you ping the ball at and he's only good at headers. His build up play is good and he's good with his feet. I hope the scouse don't get him.

Benteke was the striker I wanted so I hope we get him.

It's a lot of money but honestly, he ticks all the boxes. From what I gather he only had one bad injury and that's it. I wouldn't call him injury prone.

Also we tried to sign both Costa and Sanchez but neither wanted to play for us (London, more money, Liverpool are poo poo etc) so what can we do?

We should just accept our fate as midtable shitters, never to win the league or play in the Champions League ever again mate.

Willian was poo poo and I'm glad we didn't buy him.

Salah seems like a cock and I don't want him. I'm not even sure we need a Sterling replacement. We have a ton of attacking midfielders already- Lallana, Markovic, Firmino, Coutinho, Ibe...

I wouldn't mind us getting another central midfielder as Allen and, as much as I love the guy, Lucas aren't really good enough anymore.

Salah was about to sign for Liverpool before he came to Chelsea. Like, he'd agreed personal terms and had flown to Liverpool once iirc.

But it turns out he's bang average and holds deep and sincere anti-Semitic views, so let's not buy him yeah
