I nominate that remark for the best joke of the year award, with our wide men, Benteke would need to be about 10 mts tall, and be able to jump to at least 20 mts, their service is that bad.

With the service Bolasie, and Zaha, provide it does not matter how many top strikers we have they are not going to score too many goals, all strikers need the right service, starve them of that service and they will struggle.

Benteke suffered a very serious injury while at Villa. I dont think he's ever got back to the heights he showed then. He was very special at Villa and if we can get him back to that level it will be fantastic

We all know the qualities that Benteke brings to the game and his goalscoring record.

Regards the "Negatives" he has had a tendency to be caught offside too many times and he can be inconsistent.Sometimes his touch can be poor and at times his lack of interest is apparent.

At mayday having a medical

Nope !

Wow wow wow , benteke to palace , someone pinch me even though I knew this was coming, told two guys on the train on the way home from cup final, think they thought I was drunk lol , but I had heard a strong rumour he was our number one target before cup final, don't matter where from but its true, anyone that thinks Christian benteke isn't worth it will eat lots of humble pie over the season should he sign IMO, he is a world class striker aged 25, do people think Mr parish has lost his marbles and all of a sudden undo all the hard work put in since he took over, it was inevitable sooner rather than later we would have to increase our budget just to compete, we got away with it last year just, SP knows its a decent piece of business much like the other signings, the club have shown their intent to compete this term and they have a plan above all, which is so refreshing, but some choose to stay firmly in the dark ages of championship football and can't wait for us to fail, been supporting the club and going to selhurst for 44 years and never have I been more excited and proud of my team, early business means more time to gel etc, nothing is guaranteed for sure but Christian benteke would be amazing for palace and I think if we add some add on's to our bid and maybe up it by 2 million we will get our man, come on guys , we should be concentrating on doing our bit and getting selhurst rocking and a Wales like mentality that we had before the bad run at the end of the season

willo have a day off mate :P such a troll

Maydie. Isn't it Croydon University Hospital now?

I know they changed the name due to people referring to 'Maydie', but why Croydon UNIVERSITY?

Anyway, I hope he comes out with a good result and no injuries he didn't have when he went in.

COYP

Sorry guys I'm lead to believe it's not genuine . Players don't have medical sat mayday

Hogwash.

I was just repudiating the claim that Benteke was having a medical.Am I NOT permitted to do so ?
