Lots think he may not fit in but just looking at his track records in EPL, what more can we ask for.

 

His goal scoring exploits are hardly flukes if he has been doing them year after year on.

 

[Redray]

He's not just going to do ok is he?

 

Either going to be brilliant or a massive flop.

[Falconhoof]

I reckon he'll score loads, right from the off.

I'm basing this on the way we've signed so many rubbish forwards in recent years. Sooner or later we are bound to hit the jackpot with one. Might as well be Benteke.

If he reminas fit he'll score 25 league goals

With strikers we don't do grey areas. They are either s*** hot or just s***.

 

Lets hope it's not the latter. Don't think it will be.

[psl]

Because recent history shows that medicals with strikers are always formalities.

[Cam]

Still a Villa player. Could we forumites be done for tapping-up?

We did used to have god up front

[lfc4eva99]

We did used to have god up front

 

We should get God to train these guys.

[drdooom]

Benteke is a Christian.

 

He literally is.

[Nathan Explosion]

We could have the holiest front line and defense then.

i'd prefer if you added "every season" to that

[Red Yoda]

I didn't and still don't think he is the perfect fit for our style of play, that doesn't mean that I don't see him as a quality forward, he is and he most definately is a massive improvement on some of our forward options. Fitness aside he will score goals and do well for us. Can't wait to see him with the Liver bird on his shirt. Quality forward.

[Hassony]

 

We should get God to train these guys.

because he was the epitome of professionalism and such a hard working trainer

[Boca]

We don't want any messing around with squad numbers here now either. Give him number 9 and let's see him own it.

[matty]

He'd better be f***ing good because I'm in no mood to go easy on these gobs***es.

[Sion]

 

We're playing away

I don't know what is our style of play, we'll play it long anyway.

Today isn't the day to find you shying away.

You'll be playing for West Ham next May.

 

Benteke (Benteke)

Benteke (Benteke)

He'll be gone

In a year or two

[matty]

Benteke 'nother little piece of my heart now baby

(Break it) Break another little piece of my heart now honey

You now you've got it if it makes you feel good.

[Hobbsie]

Benteke's meant for scoring,

And scoring's what he'll do,

One of these days Benteke

Will score more goals than you

[Beardsley]

So Sturridge and Benteke... The Blues Brothers

[Flasher]

Would Torres (at his peak) have worked in this side?

 

I think Big Ben is similar to what Torres was then. If we move the ball quickly, press quickly (with others) it could work very well.

[yellow jumper]

he's nowhere near peak torres in style or ability.

[Molby]

if we get the ball forward quick, into a channel, and he legs it there in anticipation, shoulders his man off and brings our guys in to play, then races in to another position to anticipate an assist, then he'll be like Torres and he'll be good for us

 

he can also sometimes just take the ball on himself from the ball in to the channel and score

 

those are his main jobs in build up play

[Cobs]

seriously?
