How embarrassing. According to Chris Bascombe, the clause that caused the most disbelief amongst those involved in the potential deal at Liverpool was a £2.5M clause that would have required that Palace qualify for the Champions League with Benteke scoring 20 league goals and playing in 70% of their fixtures. That was all one clause. Another clause required Palace to remain in the Premier League for the duration of the contract Benteke would have signed with them. Though more achievable, it’s a clause that would have taken at least four or even five seasons to be triggered. Now, then, the question is whether Palace returns with a deal Liverpool can accept. According to The Telegraph, at least, they are expected to try again this week. Liverpool, for their part, have insisted that they would rather keep Benteke on hand as an emergency option for another season than to send him to another Premier League club for a bargain fee.

You sound like you know exactly where negotiations are, then. Do share. Edited by Cucking Funt (17 Aug 2016 8.27pm)

Annoyingly I suspect I will be asleep when the magic number is reached and benteke becomes obliged to sign for whatever price we cite. At least I think that's how it works???

Why would he want to go to Turkey, the place is a right f***ing two and eight these days. I'm assuming he's got a family and kids, doesnt strike me as a good move for the player, both in footballing and personal terms... I know odds aren't based on much but surely if the Besiktas rumour amounted to anything then *somebody* would be offering odds on Benteke going to Besiktas? More punters seem to believe in him going to Holland, America or China than Turkey and Palace is still nine to four on. I call (yet more) bulls***. Edited by chateauferret (17 Aug 2016 8.30pm)

He's sitting at home watching the page count. As soon as it hits 300 the taxi will take him to Selhurst Park.

Is it even legal to have a contract with another club which is based on our league position. i mean if we had to play them final game of the season and if they beat us and we go down or drop down and it stops there add-one being triggered. I mean wow could be a £2.5M match...

How long did YB and MJ deals take. Surely their must be a final offer from us otherwise. We will miss out of other targets. While we're talking to lfc ask about the availability of danny Ings. He would be alot less than benteke also.

There will be so much pressure on cb if he signs to deliver. Are we bigging him up or is he capable of 15 goals a season.
