I posted this video on VT a few minutes ago, if you want to see the good and not so good parts to Benteke's game. The video is about 9 minutes long all from one game, where he scores two and set up the third in a 3-0 win. But there's a few suspect moments too.

Kendrick has tweeted it about Benteke and he isn't often wrong.

My mate, who is a Oldham Athletic season ticket holder, just texted me this about Stephens;

"Mate, he's alright, but he's not a prem player i don't reckon. Too lightweight, got a good left boot. I'd say Fabian Delph is 5x better and I hate the cnut. He went missing when we were struggling, can't see him getting stuck in enough to unsettle prem midfields. I worry for both of us this year pal".

That video made me want Kevin De Bruyne who is on loan from Chelsea at Bremen.

From the little of seen of him so far, Benteke looks very similar to Bent in how he plays, the goals he scores and chances he misses.

Guardian now reporting that we've made a bid - and real Guardian staff as well, not just the Reuters repetition they use when they don't believe a story. They're rarely wrong when they commit, so I think we can now safely say this isn't bollocks.

My mate, who is a Oldham Athletic season ticket holder, just texted me this about Stephens;

"Mate, he's alright, but he's not a prem player i don't reckon. Too lightweight, got a good left boot. I'd say Fabian Delph is 5x better and I hate the cnut.

In fairness to your mate Nick, there's a reason Paul Lambert's our manager and he's not. But we'll see.

Agreed mate, just thought it would give people an idea on the sort of player he is.

He'd have certainly made a Emile of things if we had had Young, Bent and Keane at the club all at the same time....

Goals look good, though and that quick little pass to lay on the third is a belter!  Hope we have got a good one, here.
