When West Ham were interested in March, they wanted £40k of his weekly wages covered in the deal. £80k is the general ceiling for the middle cluster of Prem clubs. How many you have will roughly determine where you are in the table over time. Cabaye is our highest earner on £80k. I don't know who or how many are on parity deals. If Benteke was nearing the end of his contract after failing at Liverpool there is no way he'd get £120k, let alone a pay rise. Agent talk probably

We need to get this over the line soon.
Yes, I am an agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial |

Flipping pay rise before he gets here, that's trying it on isn't it ?
How you get out of that, the player is holding out for higher wages, I don't know. I am confident Parrish will do the best deal possible. Bottom line is, we need a young proven Premiership goal scorer, they don't come cheap.

Isn't Carrol and Benteke similar players? Just like Wickham and Benteke. I don't think we should do this deal for anything more than £25 mill. Even then I'd have my reservations and feel the money would be far better spent on a midfielder/midfielders

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet. |

I think tomorrow we will have a good indication which way this deal is going. maybe a medical has been done which none of us know about.

Hi Painter, I too was under the impression that personal terms had been agreed, that's why I got brassed off to read the later piece in the mail saying he wanted a pay rise to come to palace: danger has that link, back about 15 posts, sorry I am doing this on my phone so it may be a bit more or a bit less than 15 posts, just look for danger and you will see it Edited by Painter (03 Jul 2016 1.33pm)

I have a funny feeling hes waiting on a "bigger" club to come in .. doesn't currently look that way and palace is probably his best option for first team Premier League Football. This Might take until the end of the week to conclude.

Only problem is if we pull this one off we may get a tad confident that we will finish top half and that just ain't normal as a lifelong palace fan lol

So rumours that Benteke has been such a blinding success in Liverpool he wants us to increase his wages from the current £140k a week. IF that is the case hopefully that's the end of this potential move. We don't need money deluded idiots like that. He should be thankful that somebody still wants him not trying to blackmail them. All very odd...reported we have agreed personal terms....but don't you need Liverpool to agree price before you talk to their player ?Then after reportedly agreeing terms he decides wants more money. Strange smell about this one .... he is not that good... time to move on to next target. Proven Premiership goal scorers in their mid 20s are a rare breed, so therefore can really name there price. We have gone for second best and older fading goal scorers before. None have turned out well, if you want success, you need to go for the best you can get. A number will chose so called glamour teams, so it is very difficult to get the right man. Every credit to Parrish for trying to get deals down early.
