      Thank f**k we finally got him sold, now lets go and get £30 million worth of LB.

      Agreed, why not spend that money on a quality left back

      Agreed.  £27 m   +  add ons

      Thank f**k for that .

      At least we didn't get burnt on the sell on as we did with Carroll.

      Good business  and good luck to the lad .


      Hope it all works out for him.

      Hope it works out for him, except when they play us! Of course he'll bang in another hattrick against us when we play Palace this year and we'll be back in for him for £50m next summer :P

      Good amount of money received for Benteke, Skrtel, Ibe etc who weren't even in the managers plans. Good to see we have held out and not let the "deadwood" players go cheap.

      Benteke is a good player, just a little sad that I feel so relieved to be selling him. Good price, but no doubt he will get back to doing what he does best now...scoring against us :)

      It really is about time. He should never have been signed. This is a good move for both parties and I hope he gets his career back on track. Just not against us ;)

      at last this saga has an end, good move for the club and the player himself
      He was a professional ,knowing he was not in Klopp's plans
      good luck Big Ben ,hope you do well (not against us though)

      He has all the physical attributes to be a really good player, and I'm still convinced the problem is between his ears.
      As you say, he'll no doubt have a stormer against us  :laugh:

      Not sure if the serious Achilles injury has not slowed him down a bit he just doesn't seem dynamic anymore,  not only in terms of acceleration but also getting off the ground competing for a header.

      Good luck to Christian, I really do rate him as a player and I can also see how he doesn't fit into Klopps system.

      One things for certain though...what a F***ing waste of time it was signing him!

      Klopp once again with his poker face on & not budging on value of player..

      I like how we ain't giving away players under Klopp.

      Next up.. Super Mario ;D

      Eh, don't get the hate. Benteke is a good striker, just not the *right* striker for how we're setup. He'll do well at Palace in that setup and we've done well to get most of the money back. Good deal for all.

      Good luck to Christian. Seams like a nice lad, hope he gets his career back on the track. Palace have pacey wingers so Pardew could use Benteke well over there.

      And of course, do NOT score against us!

      Hope he does well for them. Just not against us for F***ing once.

      The performance of Moreno against Arsenal has forced  Klopp to accept the  offer  . Is good to have  players  who can also play at  LB when needed, is time to  buy a propper first choice LB   .

      £27m?... £5.5m less than we paid for him ("current market" my hole) but £1m more than I reckoned the money men would accept. Still... a good  move for all.

      Straight into my fantasy football team with him... I hope he scores a sh*t load.  :laugh:

      What do you reckon the money men will do with the (F***ing massive) excess Blud?

      My guess is they'll use it to pay themselves back the money, they loaned themselves, for the extension they built at Anfield...

      Bricks n mortar lads, that's where the profit  is.   :P

      Think that's exactly what will happen could get their loan back in record time at this rate ,
