Don't think so, everywhere else is reporting he's signed for United in the last few hours.

Few and far between those!!
I do also agree with this ^
I think United have played us here but I'm happy with the signing.

James Pearce form the Echo and Tony Barrett of the times are two of those who actually are respected, with regards to LFC at any rate.
Bit pricey but if he scores 15-20 goals next season like he has the ability to do will any of us care?
Really worried about this transfer. But we'll see I guess.

Got the potential to be either Andy Carroll mark 2 or Torres mark 2. My guess is it will fall somewhere in the middle.
Hope he plays better than he did in the cup final.

Both of them were injury prone...
Can we just get a striker other than Suarez who can play more than 3 minutes of football a season?

I was meaning in terms of goalscoring impact. Because let's be honest, it's going to be a long time until we have Luis Suarez mark 2.

Can't score goals if you're injured.
Though can't score them if you're bad either.
If we can get rid of Borini for £10m, Ballotelli for £10m and Lambert for say £4m then I would be happy with this purchase.
Benteke, Sturridge, Ings and Origi looks a better bet than last seasons strike force.
If he plays for us like he has against us then we've got a great striker.
Very good news if it works out. We need to be able to bully teams when necessary and a hard tackling DM should be next on the list.
In fact Gary Medel would be good.
A DM and left back cover and in terms of positions we will have everything we need.
Then it would just be whether the players are actually good enough.

He is nothing like Torres.
The Carroll comparison is a good one though
In all seriousness, if you can keep him fit and interested, you've a good player.

Interested? Does he have ADHD?
- 2014-15 Crosses per game: LFC joint fewest
- 2014-15 Benteke: Most aerial duels won (188)
- Benteke most headed goals (14) since 12-13
Rodgers didn't change LFC's style of play for Caroll, will he for Benteke?
We'll see.
That's my concern (not that he is Carroll mk2, he is better than him) but whether he fits our style/ will we change for him?
Time will tell.
Some reds fans think he will fit in perfectly without us having to change at all or him change at all.
I don't agree with that.
I have no idea why some people aren't excited about this signing. He has more to his game than just being a target man. He has reasonable pace, is a good finisher with both feet as well as his head. He's not a lump like Carroll or Lambert. He's better with the ball at his feet than both of them.
A good player who would strengthen every PL club.
