Madmax 9,219 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 That beside the point..they still paid 32mil for Benteke.It's not ... neither Hazard nor Diego would go for "only" 32m if they didn't have those clauses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 More like I don't think they need him. They have balotelli, Lambert, benteke, sturridge, ings 5 strikersTo hell with Lambert, Ings and Balotelli, I would take Benteke over those any day. Sturridge is quality but his fitness is a big question to be resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezza 1,965 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It's not ... neither Hazard nor Diego would go for "only" 32m if they didn't have those clauses.I understand where you're coming from.But we DID get them for ~32mil and Benteke did go for 32mil, regardless of what they 'would' have gone for if they didn't have release clauses. Benteke is just not worth 32mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benteke is just not worth 32mil.I don't think 32 is that far off in today's market. Young, proven goalscorer in this league, strong, good header, good technique. It's difficult to find decent strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to find decent strikers.Thats true! I mean we spent 8mil on a back up goal keeper...a very good one at that, but still will find it hard to get a sniff in between the sticks (apart from early league cup games and early CL group games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Aston Villa have had some cracking players in the last decade. It's crazy how often they are dipping into relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Almost 90M€ between Benteke and Firminio .Above some bad deals, we are the only team in England with 5 senses to sign players, fortunately. Some people would have been okay with the club spending that much on him as long as hes a kind of big name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo7 3,496 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Didn't need a striker. If Costa stays injury free then we are sorted. Especially with Remy as aback up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,182 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 32.5M for Benteke and 29M for Flamingo.....No pressure Brenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 These losers have spunked over 60m this summer on attacking players while they have a shocking GK, a dreadful back four and not one decent defensive midfielder. Watched their match today against some amateurs from Malaysia. Jesus Christ, Lovren makes a Sunday League player look like a world beater. And they were saying last summer that he is going to be their leader, their heart Fucking hate these deluded twats, can't wait to watch them fail again.

DYC. 7,542 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Linked with us today. Seems that he is unhappy with Klopp.He didn't suit Rodgers and he doesn't suit Klopp. It's amazing how often technical directors are allowed to fail with all these transfers. £32.5 mil... Or maybe Rodgers demanded him, which would be even worse.His limitations have always been obvious. He makes a good back-up but not good enough as #1 for a top side/aspriring top side.Think Chelsea should refrain from Liverpool purchases (Meireles, Benayoun, Torres). Expensive as well.

Cosmin 2,484 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 No way. He just doesn't cut it. We need fast strikers, like Chicharito or Aubameyang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed for 12 million, played the squad role fairly well, contributed to the UCL title with that goal against Benfica and then left for Fenerbache for 8 million.
