Are you honestly saying Gayle was/would be as good as Defoe! Jeez

No, where did I say that? (Although I think he could be.) I merely stated that we had a great young goal scorer in Gayley, but he was a little guy, so he didnt get the playing opportunities he deserved.

You forgot to put in one word with his attributes and that word being LAZY, and Big Sam has seen for himself what we all see week in week out. Benteke does not chase balls or do anything that might make him sweat. Liverpool new exactly what they were doing when they sold him to us and AP fell for it.

Rubbish. In fact he's scored goals purely down to his harrassing of defenders and goalkeepers. But since when do good strikers run around like headless chickens? The best ones don't. It's about choosing moments. The reason guys like Campbell and Jermone run around so much is that they have feck all else to offer.

Benteke isn't lazy. He's class.

Hearing from a source close to the club that there could well be some truth to this story.

Care to elaborate?

Hmmm, not on here really no. Put it this way though,the person who told my friend, is a good friend of someone well placed within hierarchy of the club. I was told nothing more than there is some truth in the stories. The fact that Sky Sports are reporting it, would suggest that there is some truth in it. Whether it happens or not is another story.

Yes, second class, that's why no one was interested except AP at the price Liverpool were asking, we paid over the odds for a Klopp reject!

Really don't want to see Bentekers sold at this point in the season. Not sure it would be the most sensible of moves unless there is clearly a replacement in place.

Saying that he has cost us points this season as well winning them for us. Over recent weeks I have not been overly convinced with his general work rate and enthusiasm.

Sadly if he is not in the right frame of mind to roll his sleeves up and be prepared for a battle over the coming months then maybe just maybe now is the time to move him on.

In the position that we currently find ourselves in we need a squad of players who wear that Palace shirt with pride and passion.

He's a bit sh1t for £28mill if we are being honest but he is the best we have at the moment.

If we can get someone just as average as him and for half the price then yes of course sell for £30million.

He can head a ball. Whoopy-doo.

This comment makes me question your knowledge of the game.

How much is each goal worth in the PL these days. I'm confident he'll have paid us back come the end of the season.

have to pull you up on that comment to be fair...i agree with you £27m is a massive sum for a player, but not when you think...

ross mccormack to villa £12m
scott hogan brentford want £15m
benik afobe to bournmouth £11m
sunderland want £10m+ for defoe who is 34 years old
andy carroll cost whu £17m

bentekkers has got 1 in 2 ratio in just over 100 PL games and those guys havnt rven touched the PL.

we wont get better goalscorer for the money unless we hit an absolute fluke like AJ again.

Why would we want to sell the best striker we have had in years. I feel he gets a rough deal. Yes, the guy does not work as hard as he could, but he is isolated a lot of the time. He hasn't peaked and he has scored AS MANY GOALS AS SO FAR THAN OUR TOP GOALSCORER LAST SEASON.

Fans make you laugh! Everyone wants a proven premier league goal scorer, you buy one and then people moan because he doesn't run around alot.

Perhaps we should spend the proceeds on one of these sucesses;
Michy Batshuayi 33.15m
Memphis Depay 28.9m
Wilfried Bony 27.46m
Islam Slimani 25m
Simone Zaza 25m
Roberto Soldado 25m
