Not necessarily. Milner and Ings would be good signings - pretty much every one of the reputable Liverpool journalists has said Ings is being signed as a squad player. Milner is a very good player and on a free makes sense. Those two and Depay are the only players that we can assume with any level of certainty we're in for, and all three are good players that would improve us.
We don't have the money to close that gap just by the amount we spend, though. What we have to do is buy as much quality as we possibly can and then get the players we do sign to play above themselves.
Statistically it's a good shout, on paper at least if we're talking about Premiership productivity - fine. We have to factor in whether he suits our play though and I'm not sure it's that much of a necessity when a player like Origi is coming in with the raw attributes plus the pace to play the role well. Benteke is a bit more stationary and if Mario and Lambert are anything to go off, Rodgers will have issues incorporating him.
he's gone beyond the point of one-season wonder. the real question is how much?
18-22m would be good value for a player of his profile.
24 yrs old - proven goal scorer with the potential to make the step up to a big team.
The only real concern is that he thrives off service - he is not going to make goals himself. He also is not a striker who can play up-front by himself in our formation and with our ambitions. PLaying as a target man for a struggling team feeding off scraps and wanting to win by the odd goal is different to what we would expect from him.
As such we would be mad to pay more than 24m max/

Nah, raiding mid-table teams for their standout player(s) season after season means we're not learning our lessons at all. At Villa, Benteke is the big fish-- there is bugger all pressure to win things. At Liverpool, these types of players almost always wilt under the pressure of expectations. Plus he will cost silly money for being "Premier-league proven."
No, thanks, again.
No, thanks, again.
I'm going to get in nice and early with this one.
If we sign Benteke and Rodgers stays he will be a massive flop.
Not suited to our style of play and is prone to goal droughts and loss of confidence.
Two things you cannot afford at a club like Liverpool.

I like Benteke, he's got a lot in his locker. Pace & Power, Heading ability (which we sorely lack) and shooting prowess, holds the ball up well and is technically adept.
Whether he would suit us I have no idea because I have no idea how we're going to play next season. He would, however, cost the best part of 30M. Lukaku cost Everton 27M and there's your benchmark. Anyone suggesting under 20M is living on another planet.

£32 million? You're right, insane. Do we ever learn?
Thank goodness the other lot are involved. With the way we are set up, he'll score as many goals as Ings. The chavs and Arsenal have other goalscorers and and can afford a battering ram, and he will likely thrive there.

Do not want.. Under Rodgers.. I just don't see how he would fit into his system.
Under another manager.. maybe..
He will end up at Chelsea.. Perfect back up for Costa

It's from the Mirror.

Can't see Roma spending 32 million on him.

I suppose if we are looking to sign Pirlo too.. you could be on to something here...
That being said.. I think he will end up at Chelsea..
That's a massive sum ... Too risky imo.
Shame he's represented by the same agent as Sterling. Pass.
"Beraninho"? Who let David Pleat in here?
Benteke is as techincally adept' as Andy Carroll. He would be a complete misfit alongside the likes of Coutinho, Sterling, Markovic and Lallana, who like to play quick, incisive passes. Our AMs need someone with intelligent movement, equal technical ability and the knowledge of how to play off the defence's shoulder to best exploit their strengths. Benteke is not that player.
We'll need to chew that one over first.
He sounds fancy and Brazilian, I like it.
