Aston Villa took a chance on Christian Benteke last summer and put a lot of faith in him - and less than a year later he's asking for a transfer.

If Liverpool can keep him then I don't see why Liverpool can't finish fourth, especially if they can deny Arsenal a big signing. He's the sort of player who's so good, you just don't know how far he can go.
However, if he leaves then they're a team looking at sixth or seventh. There's no chance of them getting in the Champions League. That's how big he is for them.
I know that people say that players are not bigger than their clubs, and I would go along with that, but Benteke and Suarez carry as much for their teams as any club that plays in the Premier League. The only other player that means as much to his team in Gareth Bale at Tottenham.
Man City's best player is Yaya Toure, but they'd be alright without him. Manchester United would be ok without Robin van Persie. You look at Jack Wilshere at Arsenal, but they played a lot of last season without him and got in the top four.
Benteke and Suarez are the biggest things at their clubs and make the difference between a lot of positions in the league. I can't wait to see what happens by the time the season starts.
Aston Villa will face Liverpool exclusively live on Saturday Night Football on August 24. Only on Sky Sports can you watch 43 live Premier League matches between August and December including every club twice, nine derbies and the big head to heads between last season's top four.
