Yeah they can ask what they want for him and hold out for what they paid for him and they can throw money into his bank account this season for doing nothing because Klopp doesn't rate him. Expecting to get all their money back is their right but also plain stupid. If we did offer anything we are rumoured to - 25m or more - then it's moronic not to take the money and run. I like Liverpool and always have but this Benteke sale/no sale business is mindblowingly idiotic.

Klopp strikes me as a bit of a pig headed twunt.

We'll sell Yannick Bolasie and Liverpool will increase the fee.

Well Everton have offered £18m for Bolasie and been told to f*** off.

Perhaps the truest word spoken in all these pages of posts. Perhaps he should sign Schweinsteiger? They'd be very happy together.

They'll sell eventually, maybe not to us but to someone. If they have no plans to use him, it makes no sense them hanging onto him for the sake of a few million when he'll cost them that in wages. He must have cost them a million since the entire saga started. It's all just a big game of chicken at the moment.

Exactly, he's costing them £1m per month in wages alone.

I think they would take 25m but Benteke wants his contract or part of it paid off so thats the sticking point

I keep seeing this written on this board, but where has anyone got evidence of this? Seems a bit odd it would be public knowledge and more something that has been created by fans on boards like these?

Think it is more the case that even at a cut of the price Liverpool paid for him, say 25m from the 32.5m which is a fair price drop given the amount of games he played last season. That is no longer the price in this market, strikers are hard to come by. Strikers with premier league experience are even harder to come by. Combining that with the new player valuations 32.5m is probably about right. Come deadline day, any of the clubs in the bottom ten of the table still looking for a striker will put an offer in and Liverpool know that. Wouldn't surprise me if he went for over what they are looking for when clubs get desperate.

It's all in Liverpools hands there not short in cash and have no rush to sell. Really buying clubs should have sorted this weeks ago to make the most of pre-season and taken the risk. But that is just my two cents worth as it is another quiet day on the Palace transfer front &#128512;

 


Another exciting pre-season .......

Why haven't we made another bid though?
I don't understand what,we waiting for. We currently have one fit striker going into the first game of the season. Whether it's pardew or the board, someone must take blame for this predicament.Every press conference, AP sends Km to do the interviews.Normally Parish would make a comment during the summer(like we hopeful of bringING 3 more).The lack of imformation is frustrating.

I prefer it when Parish doesnt talk about transfer to be honest. Especially to the media (I dont mind when he talks on Hol Radio) But A few times Parish has mentioned players and deals and then nothing has happened, and lots of palace fans get on his back. Best to stay out of the way and say nothing until the deal is completed.

They dont have to sell, so they can hold out for what they feel is the right value for the player, that coupled with the face everyone needs a decent striker and the stupid amounts of cash sloshing about now.

But that will cost them £6/7 M pa.
If they don't need him better to ditch him now.

The sticking point does seem to be Liverpool's asking price, with no sign at all of LP budging on that.

Add that to our having "backed out of negotiations" and it's very definitely time to move on as we're never going to sign a player we're not bidding for.

Time to prepare for an underwhelming signing towards the end of the window and a hastily arranged, but ultimately useless, loan signing on the evening of 31st August.

Looks increasingly likely there will be a frenzy of activity as soon as someone blinks. It makes good sense to get in the players you want and need while they're still available rather than take what's left on the shelf.

I'd still be happier with Slimani and Bony for <30m. Both up for sale, both prices that seem fair. OK total wages may be more for both but would give us more options and probably more goals.

Will they take Kai Kai clean swap? Can only ask.

I'm sure that I read that about 200 pages back.
