This is for the soccer lovers,the ones that do not sleep whenever their team is playing.The ones that would stay up late,just waiting for Champions league football.The ones that get excited when the transfer window is open,with hope that their team will land that marquee signing or the next lionel messi or Ronaldo if you prefer..
Liverpool have completed the signing of the Belgian international Christian Benteke from Aston Villa after meeting the release clause that was inserted in his contract.He did not come cheaply,as the club will have to fork out 32.5 million pounds.A lot is being said about the bulky striker as he is compared to Andy Carrol who costed the club 35 million pounds which remains their highest transfer fee date.As we all know,it did not work out with Andy as Rodgers did not find him suitable for his style of play.It remains to be seen of Benteke will fit into the team that already comprise of Baloteli, borini, lambert, sturridge plus the new arrivals,origi and ings.
Clearly Rodgers has some work on his hands to offload some of his strikers,to make way for the new signings.But what worries most Liverpool fans is how will Rodgers use Benteke?Will he change his style of play just to suite the striker? It remains to be seen..But for now,its up to Benteke to justify his price and become a household name at Anfield. But all this will depend on BR.
