I've said before and not just now it looks confirmed. Benteke will be awesome. He will be that power we've missed in recent times.
Here's a thought as to why we don't cross the ball in as many as suggesting is a problem for this move to work. Why would we have crossed the ball in? Who to? Sterling at 5ft nothing? Balotelli who never went near the box? Borini the giant?

Neither Lambert or Carroll suited us cause of pace. Benteke has pace and is able to control the ball on the deck.

We win plenty of set pieces around the box thanks to the likes of Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana. We now have an immense target. He can also hold the ball up for incoming attackers. Perfect for Firmino?

Our wingers, wing backs and corner takers now have a ball winner to aim at.

I'm more then happy we have Benteke, Origi and Ings as strike options and then Sturridge when fit. When Utd dominated they had 4 top strikers, now we will have too.

I agree Max but then again I thought Ballotelli might be our Cantona moment last season. I hope your right mate.

I have to agree Max. I think he's the missing piece. 4 quality striker's and 4 different kind of strikers too. We have so much creativity in the midfield and forward flanks now it's a great signing imho. No excuses now with the squad we have not to be pushing the top sides all the way 'til May. Can't wait for the season to start. I've noticed too he has not been in the Villa training pics the last few days either so he might be on his way for medical etc. Buzzing lol.

Max you are spot on! I wish other LFC fans would look at the bigger picture. Benteke will have a similar influence to Heskey's first full season (2000-2001)
