he doesn't fit how you played the last few years, its a fair comment

its a clueless comment !

i suggest you educate yourself on bentekes strengths and weaknesses..

perhaps while not confusing them with the fact that villa OPT to kick the ball to his head constantly

I personally don't want Benteke but will of course support him if he arrives

- 2014-15 Crosses per game: LFC joint fewest

- 2014-15 Benteke: Most aerial duels won (188)

- Benteke most headed goals (14) since 12-13


summed it up well

off who scored

+ Strengths
Aerial Duels-Very Strong
Finishing-Strong
Long shots-Strong
Direct free-kicks-Strong
Headed attempts-Strong

- Weaknesses
Holding on to the ball-Weak
Offside awareness-Weak
Defensive contribution- Weak

Apparently Digby that's just because Villa aimed it at his head rather than because that's the best way to get the most out of him.

He is apparently quicker than Owen, more skilful than Zola and links up like Riquelme.

I know this because I watched some you tube best of videos.

Looks like a big waste of money, hopefully he becomes a top striker, but don't see it happening.

42 goals in 88 league games tells a different story but don't let a small thing like facts get in the way!

he will work well with milner, just will need a slower pace for him to work well


unless im misunderstanding his strengths again, i didn't consider he was playing with Tom Cleverleys miss-understood spanish style last year

How will Benteke fit in when Sturridge is back?

I am just interested in how we will set up.

I see Benteke as the lone front man with others supporting from wide or in behind.

Even when Sturridge is fit I don't really see us playing a straight front two. I think Sturridge would start wide of him or off of him.

Where Coutinho and Firmino fit in who will surely be starting the vast majority of games I am not sure at this point.

Have Man u met the release fee as well? Thought I read somewhere they had?

somethings gunna have to change unless sturridge isnt as fit as they are saying, you don't pay £30mil for a bench player

you dont even have to watch his "best of videos"

try watching a few match videos of him, the ones that show all his touches, i.e. the semi final vs Liverpool.

where you will see he concedes a lot of possession, because while winning the aerial duel he fails to control the high balls properly..

try comparing it to the number of times he loses possession when its played to his feet.

Its funny that someone who has taken the time to watch a few videos, and read a few articles from more knowledgeable sources gets ridiculed because they can see beyond the stereotype.

better to stick with the herd mentality view of him, there's more people with that view (who haven't watched him or done any research) so it must be right!!!
