Hi Liverpool fan here - I come in peace! Firstly I will say I like your manager think his straight talking is a breath of fresh air others from the prem could learn from. But I never came in here to talk about your manager but CB who it looks like we are going to do business with you for. Now there are many of my fellow fans that are saying he is not right for The Kop due to playing style but, having terrorised us in games gone by between the sides, I have to reserve a bit of judgement and have belief. But I am very interested in entering into conversation with AV fans and understanding your views on what he might bring, let's face it I haven't watched an abundance of games where he has played - you'd have thought that some of my fellows fans with their comments though had been watching more of your games than our own. Anyway any thoughts? (Seems at least you will get a decent deal on this too if it happens)!

Lots of Liverpool fans seem to have this theory that benteke can only play one way, and yes, he is a great threat in the air, but he has scored some great goals for us turning and running at defences. He can be a bit sulky and seems a bit like Suarez where he expects the pass, even if the pass is impossible. But getting the best of out benteke means involving him in most of your play. I saw a potential team on sky sports with benteke if signed and I it was narrow which won't help his game as we did provide a lot of crosses for him. But as stated, I remember a great passing move with weimann up at Annfield which was all on the deck that ended up with some classy skill and a goal. Not that I mean any disrespect by this, but man utd would be a better option as they play more direct and with width but he'll do well at Liverpool. Just questionable how he'll like squad rotation, unless you loan us Inns ;-)
