Are we right to overlook Benteke?

The lad seems to be on his way to Spurs (they don't offer Champions League football either). According to press, he could be available for a fee in the region between 20-25 mil. and wages about 60kpw.
Besides the physical attribute he looks quite comfortable with the ball. From last year's 1-3, back in 2012 15 Dec at Anfield (2 goals, 1 assist) I recall him keen on link up play (1st goal), not to lack flair (2nd goal assist) or dominant presence combining with dribbling skills (3rd goal).
Given the uncertainty over Suarez future Benteke emerges as a possible replacement candidate of proven quality (34 EPL games - 19 goals) who undoubtedly adds some steel at setpieces. I'd love to know your thoughts fellow reds.

Benteke will be a future star, im suprised theres not a queue to sign him, 20 would be a snip.

well i am assuming we are not interested on the assumption Suarez is staying.

if he stays don't we need to concentrate on CB and DM first before striker options, so be a big chunk of our money when other areas should be priority.

Certainly a very good player. Our problem is that he may have already signed for another club by the time we get a definitive answer on whether Suarez is staying or leaving.

==========================
That is a very big IF.

yes it is a very big if kash,

but what do we do RIGHT NOW if we want to strengthen the team, and the answer is not in attack as with Luis we are sorted mainly,CB and DM should be priority for me,and spending that amount on a striker would seem silly with other areas are a problem or need looking at.

Thing is Jenners everything points towards Suarez leaving. Even Ayre said we have a contingency plan if Suarez leaves. Just hope we find out soon than late.

that sounds like to me kash that we will only sell if a certain value is met,

how long do we leave it, if that was the case of waiting, when we should be prioritizing strengthening the team.

we can always look at strikers with the money we would get, but right now it is not a priority, which is why we are not that interested in Benteke by the looks of things.

can that Shakiri be used LB and up front? i have heard he can, so that would be an option if Bayern seriously want Luis.

we should make Mascherano get a divorce and bring him back lol, wasted at CB if he still plays there.
