Given the fees that are being touted for various players at the moment, it doesn't seem unreasonable. If we want the player - who has the ability to score 15 goals in the PL without question - and Liverpool know that we are a more desperate buyer currently than they are seller (because other clubs will come in later in the market and we could get gazumped) then I think we have to accept our negotiating position. Even at £30m+ I think it could be the sort of deal that propels the club to the next level. Defensively we were not terrible last season, but we needed a decent goalscorer. Absolutely, if Dwight Gayle is worth £10m to a Championship club then £30m for Benteke is about right.

You've got me. I suppose I'm not used to seeing us spending on this magnitude and arguably in the past it hadn't worked when we did. Benteke is certainly a good player, the kind we need to take us forward. Still, I can't help but worry. I let the board do the worrying, it's their money and if they believe it's affordable then let's go in balls deep. I never thought I'd see Palace bid £15m for a player, let alone £30m however if he has a couple of cracking seasons who's to say we can't make a profit out of this deal?

Liverpool are insisting on £30m cash. No ifs, no buts. Our second offer of£27m + add ons firm rejected. Do we meet their valuation or look elsewhere?? Personally, feel we need to get the deal done as apparently,other sides looking on and may meet the asking price. And with us having done all the heavy lifting for nothing. To me this seems like the one opportunity we're going to get this window to do this sort of deal. If it slips through our fingers, for the sake of £3m, then we're going to be looking at this year's Connor Wickhams (i.e. those prepared to come to Palace that have a half-decent chance of making a mark), and I wonder how much they've gone up in price since we bought him.

Come on Palace this is the big one. We need a striker who is likely to score every other fixture at least. Edited by Slimey Toad (05 Jul 2016 2.57pm) All we need now is someone to stick it on his head or to his feet on a regular basis!

Reports suggest Liverpool are holding out for £30mil upfront, though all parties and confident that an agreement and deal can be settled on.

I think we are in a market that is going to see some rapid inflation because of the extra injection of TV money. Last season, if we had asked 20m for Bolasie we might have ended up with 15m plus add ons. This season I think we would ask it and get it. I think we should stump up for Benteke and make a note to be hard nosed when we come to sell. I think I agree. Whilst I hate how football money has gone even more mental, I think every club is "buying expensive, selling expensive". We're shaping up to do the same, that's how football is going.
