Hard to make a case for this even being a debate anymore, really, which is a shame. That said, Benteke's goal to game ratio is still impressive at Liverpool, despite him being in and out of the side and clearly not featuring long-term in Klopp's plans.
What is clear is this: Benteke was worth 10 to 15 points for Aston Villa. Obviously, they lost Delph and Cleverley too, but Benteke's departure must have done nothing for the club's morale as a whole. He was their lynchpin.
I think it'll be intriguing how long Lukaku stays at Everton, too. You can't see it being that long before he itches for a move elsewhere, to be honest.
