I do rate benteke. Think he's been unfairly portrayed. Has a lot to offer. #lfc

Over 17 league goals from Benteke and about 5 assists and it'll look like a decent deal.

I don't think he's the right man but were always going to get Benteke, no point dragging it out over a few million. #LFC

In terms of the current going rate in the English transfer market, Benteke will cost 2/3 of a Sterling.

As expected! It was a matter of time before we caved in to their demands.
