Hi Eds, just wondering with the huge figures being banded around for Benteke, is there any chance we could look to spend that cash on any alternatives, aubamyang of Dortmund for example I think would be a better alternative, even if he is all pace!

{Ed002's Note - Why would Liverpool do that? Benteke is the player Liverpool want and have been putting a lot of effort in to getting.}

Ed, when you say putting in a lot of effort, is this within the club preparing a bid or are they in discussions with Villa?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - We are not getting in to blow by blow accounts and I have no idea what you think "preparing a bid" is.}

Preparing a bid: Typing the letter, grammar check, Ian Ayre stamp, you know, the usual.

I think preparing a bid would involve discussing and deciding the figure and payment structure that would be put forward to Aston Villa and the personal terms offered to Benteke. A bid must take some preparation, I'm probably well off the mark but we're not as clued up as you Eds.

I believe preparing a bid involves counting the cash (no one wants a loose £5 ruining a deal) ordering the correct briefcases deciding how much to put in each briefcase (the more cases the better its more intimidating) and finally selecting the right "heavies" to carry and deliver the breifcases

Clutching at straws really. LFC wants Benteke. He doesn't wanna play for Villa anymore, won't sign a new contract and ONLY wants to come here. The discussions are ongoing and IMO, he will be an LFC player based on what we know. Clear enuff or do you want the Eds to repeat themselves for the umpteenth time
