Really?

Any evidence of this?

Time to move on. We have made a reasonable offer and then even increased it. If Liverpool won't be flexible let them keep him on their wage roll.

Did you laugh at Liverpool when they paid £33 million for him when the TV cash was significantly lower?

This forum is split over a cup of tea made with milk in first or milk in last so this is nothing new.

Surely there are better players available for that amount of money?

 

NEILLO Flag Shoreham-by-Sea 05 Jul 16 1.00pm

To be fair, Liverpool do have history.....Andy Carroll £35m !

But a player is only worth as much as the buying club is prepared to pay.

I think asking them to accept a 10% discount on the price they paid for his perceived ' failure ' at Liverpool is realistic.

Bingo. This is why I'm happy for Palace to splash the cash.

He's a damn good player. Get him in asap before we get gazumpped and in pre-season training to get partnerships formed.

It would make a nice change to have a manager know his best XI for the first game of the season rather than scrabbling about in the last two days of the window.

 

Dubai Eagle Flag 05 Jul 16 1.21pm

For sure its a shed load of money but if that's the way things are then so be it, I am in no way downbeat about the deals being done by the club / management.
Although in my wish list I would have loved to have seen a deal done with Liverpool structured in such a way to somehow include Joe Allen (obviously not for the same price) - oh well maybe I wouldn't like who they would have wanted in return (cash + player) & maybe that's just a wish too far....

1. Benteke is a top class international striker. AV fans will tell you an absolute beast who single handedly kept them up for 3 years
2. 30m is the right price for such a player. He will pay a significant chunk of it back in the number of additional places we will rise up the league table with him
3. He will score 15-20 premier league goals (same as Giroud/Costa/Lukaku/Ighalo/Sanchez last year). This is harder to find than 24c gold mermaid sh1t.

Get it done. Please.
