      £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:

      I was going to wait until he was playing Liverpool :P

      All the best to the guy was always professional and didn't have a bad word to say about the club but was never the type of player we needed.

      His signing highlighted the lack of football brains at the top of the club that Rodgers was allowed to make the signing.

      He'll be too dear by then racer... I have a budget to work to - I'm trying to win our league by only spending £50m.   :lmao:

      Feel sorry for him. He would be a monster for the right team but sadly that isn't us and it was obvious he wouldn't fit in here. It doesn't matter who our manager is, our supporters are used to (and demand) pass and move on the deck football and that isn't Christian.

      A top signing for Palace though and I've no doubt he will be bang 20 in for them each season until he gets another chance at a bigger club again - which he deserves. A club that will suit his game a lot more than we do.

      Good luck mate.

      Another reason Jürgen let the lad go.

      Yet you'll still have the odd fan [pretend to] forget that Jürgen tried to sign Christian for BvB - no matter how often they are reminded of the truth: crazy, ain't it?  :laugh:

      You have the odd fan still insisting that Jürgen wanted Benteke at Dortmund in which case why does he now want to get rid of him. I suspect like a lot of players he was linked by the press or his agent.

      The number of players we have been linked with over the years mostly through rubbish rumours does that mean we have wanted to sign those players - I doubt it.

      What do you reckon the money men will do with the (f**king 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

      :lmao:

      Christian Benteke reveals he could have joined Jürgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund:

      Had things worked out differently, Benteke could have signed for Borussia Dortmund in 2013 when Klopp was in charge.
      "It was after my first year at Aston Villa," Benteke explains. "My agent and the manager had a meeting about maybe doing a transfer but nothing happened. But it doesn't matter that he tried to sign me before."

      Jürgen enquired and decided he didn't want to sign him.

      No worries we all make mistakes.

      He keeps getting selected, though. Unless we're just waiting on Milner to get fit.

      Isn't that down to options available.

      And yes we are!!

      Glad the deal is done at last and we're recouping most of the outlay.
      No hard feelings though Christian, and all the best for the future.

      Bought a jacket, didn't look good on me, gave it to another guy, looked better on him ... not the jackets fault.

      Good Luck at Palace Christian, except against us.

      When we signed him, I was made up...thought he was going to be our very own clean version of Drogba. Was hoping he was going to be a beast of a player, sad that he played like a mouse at times but onwards and upwards.....for us!
