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

Would you like someone to fix your full stop key?

Good post nice and postive, you can change the future you can't change the passed.

I think if we go to say £27 mil with the rest in add on's Liverpool will accept.

Give them what they want and get him now!!

Liverpool are stupid to let him go. They shall regret it...

I know I know how s*** Wiki is. But just seen this. Look what club he plays for.

I remember when Villa beat us 0-1 at Selhurst couple of years ago, Benteke ran from the half way line and scored with a cool finish.

I liken Benteke to a young Drogba.

It's not unreasonable for Liverpool to make a loss on Benteke in my opinion. If they paid £32 million, as has been reported, and our valuation is £25 million, we should not offer more just to insure Liverpool against any loss. It's just the cost you bear for a signing not working out - and we have had one or two of those.
