Re: Benteke
I think 1 goals every 2 games is a realistic target for him.
As for his fit with Liverpool. I am sure some will disagree with me, but Liverpool dont play well enough or get the results to warrant playing in a way which doesnt suit 35m strikers.
Give him the type of service you know he wants or this becomes a pointless buy

Re: Benteke
He definitely has massive pressure on him with that price tag.

Re: Benteke
Yeah the price tag puts pressure on him to deliver right away.
Dani, when I say style of play I mean in terms of being involved in general play and attacking build ups how Sturridge is and Suarez was. He doesn't necessarily have to do it in the same manner Suarez and Sturridge did by dribbling, creating through passing and vision etc, but getting involved, playing 1-2s, running in behind, holding the ball up. Just getting on the end of corners and winning some hoofball headers really won't be enough I'm afraid.
I'm also afraid having Benteke will give players like Skrtel and Lovren the license to just hoof ball it up to him too often.
But I agree if he keeps his 1 in 2 record, fans would take a liking to him.

Re: Benteke
I think he will score goals but it won't translate to as much points as the total says if that makes sense.

Re: Benteke
He'll score a fair amount of goals for you, but all depends if Rodgers utilizes him to his strengths, to get the best out of him. That means hoof balls, crosses galore, something that this LFC team don't do a lot of.
He also goes through droughts, spells where he doesn't contribute at all and the match passes him by.
My point is, play him to his strengths and he'll be a nuisance for defences, if not, he'll be a 32.5m passenger.

Re: Benteke
I think he'll have plenty of chances to score. All of our strikers did last season...there just never seemed to be any finish.
If Benteke can retain his composure and finishes well he will do just fine.
The price is irrelevant as it has been for some time now with PL clubs literally swimming in money. He isn't going to be counted on to be the best player, leader or focal point of the team so with a little more attention on guys like Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana, Markovic, Ibe, Henderson, Milner, etc. by comparison to his AV teammates he may end up with even more space and time to operate. Hopefully he makes use of it.

Re: Benteke
The difference opinion more changed because he was crap at Villa this past season before Sherwood took over more than anything else.
Most still rate him though.

Maybe he can continue improving like Drogba did. Otherwise, he is a log.

Re: Benteke
It's such a shame that the thinking "big lads can't play for big teams" has infested football these days.
Benteke was beasting it for Aston Villa at first. At Liverpool he did really quite all right under Rodgers's final stretches, scoring for a team that was struggling to create. Then he, unfairly, got no look-in what-so-ever under Klopp, because for whatever reason being "unsuited". Now he's playing for poorly-perfoming Crystal Palace and beasting it again, his 7 Premier League goals are more than any player in the high-flying Liverpool team. It hurts me to see such size-racism, shall I call it "sicism". Would rather have Benteke at Liverpool than Sturridge to be perfectly honest.

Re: Benteke
Why would you want him in your team when he is clearly not suited to your manager's playstyle? Both the team and Benteke would suffer if he stayed at Pool and played.

That is the popular argument, but it's an argument I don't agree with. Benteke can play with his feet and can move about. I do think we would be right about where we are in the table had it been Benteke instead of Firmino playing up top for us.
