dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 People on Twitter including Pete Colley are saying he is still in Portugal and no bid has been madeBut the Belgian reporter said it's a done deal! But twitter!! So you're believing people on Twitter over people on Twitter Nope. I believe nobody anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The ignorance of Liverpool fans slating Benteke it really is disgusting, at least he knew he was loved at Villa and the main man, if he doesn't start well the knives will be out very quickly, all the best Benteke but I'll be sick to see you play for those. More fool him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 He won't even be 1st choice at Liverpool either, if everyone is fit then their front 3 will be firmino - Sturbridge - coutinho £32.5m sub... I was having this conversation with a Liverpool "fan" today. I'm not entirely sure how many strikers they need, when they only tend to play one up top, with a couple of number 10s. I know they'll move a few on, but they currently have Sturridge, Ings, Balotelli, Borini, Lambert, Origi, Coutinho, Lallana, Frimino... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 All of the media stories that I've read are saying that Liverpool have decided to pay the £32.5m or are ready to pay it, not a single one of them says a bid has been made Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke has £32m release clause triggered by Liverpool http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/replay-aston-villa-striker-christian-9670431 Not saying its true, but some people are reporting a bid has been made.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Probably controversial opinion but I wouldn't mind Balotelli on loan, I think he's someone who Sherwood could probably get the best out of. Said the same myself a few times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 He's too good for Liverpool. They're still a step up from us so I won't begrudge him the move but I hope someone like Man U swoop in and steal him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Why go there ?? He wont play CL football there for a very long time, These is noway liverpool will finish ahead of Arsenal, Chelsea, united or city.. Talks set to breakdown between Benteke and Liverpool due to disagreements over release clause Christian Benteke is preparing to shock the footballing world as he is set to refuse a contract offer from Liverpool, who are set to activate the £32ish million release clause set by Aston Villa. The Belgian was reportedly set to ask for a similar release clause added to his Liverpool contract, allowing him to leave for £30 and a bit million if a Champions League club were interested in signing him. Benteke refused to accept Liverpool's reasoning that they "are a Champion's League club but just aren't in the actual competition" and is now set to sign for Manchester United who may release the activation clause later on this transfer window.

Guest av1 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Saw a few posts talking about Liverpool having 7 strikers, the thing is, apart from Sturridge who is always injured, they are all crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Am I the only one who hasn't seen any actual news yet? Just more media speculation. Until someone actually makes a real bid then as far as I'm concerned there is still nothing new to see here. I'm with you on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
