BentekenForAMug

Well I'm probably in a minority of one but I don't see any reason to have a go at him.

Unless I've missed some important bit of evidence I haven't seen anything to say for sure he actually lied either time.

He was most definitely reckless in his January statement, and even more so last week, but that's not the same as lying. Maybe in January everything he said was true....certainly by signing the contract it could be argued he gave the Club the chance of a fee.

As for this time maybe he genuinely decided he'd rather stay here, then changed his mind ? I know I've done that with job offers in the past.

Anyway Im not his mate and there's nothing in it for me so I won't be taking this view any further !!!

What I definitely don't get is the despondency......yes hes a decent player but he is very replaceable and,like Benteke, had been part of a losing team ever since he established himself here. I think the change coming with the 40-50 million quid Sherwood has will do us all good.

Must admit I also feel a bit for Lambo, he'd have loved to have that money to spend !

Saturday - Delph: "I'm not leaving"

Friday - delph leaves

...seems like lying to me!

I can't believe he actually had me fooled in thinking he really cared about the club.

Hope the rest of the footballing world looks on at this and sees him for what he is. Roy hodgson can't look at this move and be anything but disgusted with the way delph has handled it.

It's about liquidity, a £10m player isnt the same as £10m cash

On one hand, I hope he is ruthless as players at this level should not perform like they have this season.

But equally, if he gets rid of everyone who's had a crap season, we'll have about five players left!

How about we achieve European dominance and Benteke stays till he is 42.

I heard he has a clause in his contract that provides for this... Could be a goer!

If course we still have a right to criticise after such an embarrassing result, no team in the league should lose in that manner.

However, as much as sherwood is to blame tactically yesterday, he isnt to blame for sloppy individual errors, which had a hand in pretty much all of the goals we conceded

Reality check for those saying that we don't need to strengthen in the summer, an overhaul is desperately needed in defence.

Other than Clark, I don't think any of our centre backs are good enough to be regularly starting at the moment, and bacuna is good going forward but he just is not a good right back

Less said about vlaar, the better, he has cost us quite a few goals this season now

I guess it will be interesting to see how the players react to going into a match as favourites, hopefully we'll get a better result than against QPR

Cheers guys

Not able to watch the game today, has it all been benteke or is everyone playing well?

Absolutely robbed by a terrible linesman decision

How did he not bury that!

Shit

My god the Liverpool end seemed quiet

Will be the first British player sold for £100m

You heard it hear first!

But he isn't British, is he?

Obviously chinese.

He was born and raised in Birmingham, he's not Irish, his dad is.

 

"Being born in a stable does not make one a horse" 

No, but it could make you an ass

Got stuck under his feet gah!

Benteke you beauty

Shoot grealish! Ffs

Bentekes man

Zamora pushes bacuna. QPR free kick...

Sanchez really has to be quicker on the ball

Got to watch them on the counter

Used Clint hill to hide the ball from green as well, clever

Get in!!!!!!

Gil would be useful, pace, creative

We've looked great so far without him.
