Personal sponsorship, name on shirt, telly ads etc. I can see why it would be a biggy.

Whether we get him or not - there is little doubting CPFC's commitment and growth in testicles this season about getting serious in the PL. This a real move forward from the last 2 PL preseasons and I suspect our USA affiliation may have something to do with it. I am ecstatic about this change in mindset! We were lucky IMO not to have got relegated every season constantly punching above our weight, but now this is what I wanted to see, a move away from the decades old 2nd/3rd division mindset. Hope there's an alternate if we decide not to get Benteke - but great to see them raising their bid as you simply have to pay the money to play with the big boys. Fantastic. [Link]

If this signing goes through it will be massive for us. Moments like this I'm so glad I have a season ticket In a nutshell. Quality costs money the dignified don't even enter in the game

Really dont feel comfortable about this guy,Liverpool dont want him,dont see a mad rush from other clubs,yet he is haggling,you would think he would jump at the chance of Premiership football playing regularly in a Palace side,If he doent want it tell him we are not interested,and look elsewhere,possibly a some what cheaper option,If he doesnt want Palace ,we dont want him!!!

Why would anybody then still allow another club to talk to its player ? Makes no sense at all.

Because once we've agreed personal terms with said player we're more likely to come back with an improved offer! Shows how keen we are to sign player

Reading between the lines, it seems to me that Palace and Liverpool have agreed the final fee which has allowed Palace to speak to the player. Whilst that is happening the two clubs are negotiating the structure of the fee payments.

I recon this will get done soon. Surely we wouldn't have sold gayle and left ourselves with only 2 strikers on the books if we didn't have a couple of pretty solid targets and we had certain assurances that we could acquire replacements. Once we get benteke in we need to get some other strikers remember!

This might come as a bit of a surprise but believe it or not the PL isn't everything particularly to foreign players. Another surprise might be the fact we are not exactly a magnate for top players. Hopefully that is changing as we sell the dream to various new signings Where else would you suggest we look for a proven PL goal scorer capable of scoring 20 goals a season? the dignified don't even enter in the game

Originally posted by Jimenez What like selling Murray last year you mean? We sold Murray because it was a business decision and we had 1 too many. And Murray wanted to play. Murray, Wickham, Campbell, Bamford, Chamakh. The problem behind it was Gayle refusing to go to a small Champ club and Bamford being a waste of space. If Gayle left we would've kept Murray but still wouldn't have bought another forward. Unfortunately you can't always get them out when you want. We've now moved nearly all on who won't be picked. Just Campbell left to move on now. Either he gets loaned out or takes a wage cut to play elsewhere, or goes next Summer. COYP
