Spend 32 million on a Benteke who looked worse than Borini today.

Or keep Super Mario and save the money.

Neither fit the way Rodgers wants to play so if save my money but also sell Mario.

I agree neither should be at LFC

he didn't look the part today for sure.. but he is ten times more dangerous than mario.

He is better, but way over priced. Aubameyang looked lively enough today, been scoring all season and he's available for free.

Why's he available for free?

I was about to say, if we can afford to spend £32.5 million on one player, it should be Mario Mandzukic who I think is every bit as good as Diego Costa but with less of a nasty streak.

I know he moved from Bayern not so long ago so googled his name to find out exactly when - and found numerous stories linking him to us and Arsenal as he is apparently unhappy at Atletico Madrid?

He would be one incredible signing. Consistent, prolific goalscorer and tailor-made for the Premiership.

No doubt won't happen though. We will end up with some bargain-basement guy yet again.

I wud spend 32.5m on....

Cech..7m
Song ..7m
Vietto...14m

Plus sign these players on a free..

Schar
Kono

So is my nan on paracetamol

Mario's problem is mental (none of us would even want to go there would we as to what goes on in his head) he has all the attributes of a WC footballer and is easily as good as Benteke.

There is also a lot of rumour in regard Mario and if he is a negative to the dressing room without any of us really knowing. Easy scapegoat for frustrations and failings up the ladder.

I'd like to think a different manager could get him playing well and dread to think of the loss if he is bombed out now but understand why a lot of fans would prefer just to take the hit.

Can't believe we are even contemplating £32 million on Benteke.
