      Well, at worst, we paid 32.5m to pick up 2 wins against Villa this season ;D

      The man deserves our backing now that he's signed , we have to accept that is what the club need and want and we should now show faith . I've had serious reservations about Benteke signing but if he clicks this team will be a serious outfit . The transfer window has been excellent so no complaints and the bag of sh*te has gone to city even better again . A big welcome to Christian Benteke fair play to him .

      Welcome to the club Christian, may you prove you're worth £32.5m and much, much more.

      Big fee. Big pressure. Hope the lad can handle it.
      The price tag will be quickly forgotten though if he finds the back of the net.
      Will be interesting to see how we fit him in, how he adapts to the style of play.
      He should get more chances than at Villa, though expect more of them will be on the ground than in the air.
      Needs to stay fit and play games.
      That said, welcome and gluck Christian ! :)

      Excited that this one is finally over the line. I've really warmed to the idea of having him in our squad in recent weeks.  Hope he's a smashing success in red.

      I'm with you on this one. So well did we play last season and so many trophies did we win, I simply cannot for the life of understand why "Rodgers" or anyone else would want to slightly modify the way we play. Unbelievable it is.

      there's nothing wrong with the way we play.  the problem is the players aren't good enough to do it.

      So instead of totally turning our style upside down in order to accommodate Benteke, how about, oh I don't know, we just go buy better players?

      no, let's just get Benteke and airmail it in from the halfway line like we used to do with Carroll.  because that worked out so well.

      Hope he gets off to a flier, I actually like our attacking options now, with Ings, Benteke and Sturridge, and who knows maybe Origi will surprise us all. From midfield I think Milner will give us some goals and hopefully Henderson will gain more confidence in himself now that Stevie has gone. Then there's Ibe and Coutts and Markovitch as well. IN defence we should be more solid and dynamic with Clyne so its all looking pretty good. Can't wait for the start of the season now.

      If you want to be taken seriously as a knowledgeable football fan, you'd not persist with the idea that he is in any way a donkey like Carroll was.

      While I get your concerns with a possible style change -- I'd have preferred a smaller, pacier striker, myself -- Benteke and Carroll aren't all that similar. Benteke is a much better footballer for one.

      You can't even welcome a new player to the club?

      How about saving the criticisms until Benteke actually starts playing for us.

      F***ing attention seekers these days!

      Ink isn't even dry on the contract and you're having a go.

      Bet you are a barrel of laughs at work.
