Klopp needs to make it clear whether Benteke is part of his plans or not. If not, then Benteke should really be finding another club. Unless he is the type of footballer to sit in reserves in pickup £140k a week.

Originally posted by est1905 His job is to represent Benteke. If he were to have said what he said without CB's consent (and ended up scuppering a move to Palace in the first place) he'd be running the risk of getting sacked off. If he says CB wants to stay at Liverpool, trust me CB probably wants to stay at Liverpool. Time to stop kidding ourselves and move on. This agent is known to be very sh1tty and it's worth remembering that Klopp doesn't even want to talk to Benteke, let alone play him. I'd say Benteke either has to move very soon or LFC will not receive an offer AND/or Benteke will not receive an offer of matched wages. The longer he sits on the bench, the more he gets frustrated and the wage offer drops. He needs to come to terms with the fact he's not wanted by Klopp and wasn't signed by Klopp. COYP

Originally posted by Rudi Hedman Okay, watch this post-match analysis by Jamie Redknapp and Carragher. It's pretty good and talks about Benteke's strengths, weaknesses and how LFC were not playing to his strengths. It lasts for 4 mins of the 11. [Link] On 45 seconds is Benteke's goal early in the game. Carragher sums it up for me with this goal why he kept missing chances. "The thing about that goal is it's instinct. He doesn't have to think." He goes on about his recent one on one misses where he has to too much time to think. Then, "It's really quick, it's a good finish and he proves he can finish if he doesn't have to think for too long." It's where I think LFC and Beneteke will never fit. The interesting bit where they show the pass to Benteke they fail to make and keep going sideways. And the one-two on the halfway line and away Benteke goes, only to miss the one on one, something he finished at Villa where his confidence was higher. Thanks for this. Decent analysis. If we get him he'll really fit our system; we're far more direct than 'Pool. Plus the experience of grinding out results with a god-awful Villa side is definitely useful to a team like us... yes, we're better, but we really need battlers.

If Benteke's still on holiday I don't see how he's had any medical to highlight an Achilles problem. Hoping it gets confirmed either way ASAP as all this in/out chatter is too much. Red & Blue since 73'

The rumour I heard was Palace officials/appointed doctors/etc carried out a medical in France with Belgiums permission. If this is true or not? Your guess is as good as mine.

Considering he was as low as 1/12 this time last week it won't happen never was we most probably haven't even bid otherwise it would of been on SSN and it never has said we have made a bid for B eneteke or have had a bid excepted so this is all ballocks

You need to calm down a bit and be a bit patient. Benteke will not be playing much football at Liverpool in the future. Benteke needs to get used to this at some point. Our offer will be there or Parish would've denied it or have been negotiating over someone else. Remember the player signed before the US trip? You were convinced at this point Benteke was on his way I think, and then he couldn't sign because the players and coaches were in the US. Relax. COYP

Originally posted by Direwolf What about Gayle at Newcastle? I hear he's quite good. Can he lead the line? Can he play with his back to goal? Can he play the lone striker role? Can he meet crosses? Can he out jump defenders? Does he out battle defenders? Does he make good runs between defenders? Er, no perhaps? Has he scored 49 goals in 100 for another Prem club that was actually very sh1t during most of that time but now could be available once player has gotten used to the fact he doesn't fit and isn't wanted by a word famous club. No, Gayle hasn't. He will do well in a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 type formation in the champ. COYP

Originally posted by dynamicdick The bar is a lot higher than survival, try top 8. I agree the club would ideally like higher but I still think we are comfortably in the relegation mix if we have a bad season. One guy bagging 18-20 goals becomes insanely valuable as a way of assuring we keep the PL riches flooding in. It makes a huge difference to what we are as a business entity. Well over 100m a year in revenue vs sub 20m (without parachutes). If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
