Palace have shown intent to sign him by repeatedly upping their offer. He's obviously not that keen to sign. Feck him, move on. It does look like we've been used to flush out a supposedly 'better' move. My only concern is that they're all off on a junket soon and not much business gets done when they're on the other side of the Atlantic.

Nani signed for valencia whilst never leaving euros. don't think that has an effect. Edited by matthau (07 Jul 2016 9.38am) Edited by matthau (07 Jul 2016 9.39am)

Edited by matthau (07 Jul 2016 9.38am) Which is one deal out of hundreds - it's not impossible for agents to agree a deal without the player present, but to claim an international tournament has no effect is nonsense.

There are a lot of people on here putting a lot of trust into crap they've read in some very sub standard tabloids and websites none of which contain any direct quotes from either of the three parties! If Palace are looking to spend £30m on anyone and then pay them over £6m a year I can understand why it would take a while to be completed! If West Ham won't stump up £250,000 a week for Tevez I can't imagine them paying in excess of £48m over the term of the contract for Benteke! Agree on this front - in reality, we have no idea what stage the deal is at, and what the sticking points are in the negotiations.

i thought personal terms had already been agreed...so he dont need to be here...it was just the pool that were the issue but hayho...will leave it up to all you to decide what the truth is and whats not to believe this is correct, thats the word from journos from Palace/Liverpool side that have contact with club officials (plastered over twitter). Believe West Ham are back in for him now, according to bets theres more of a chance of United sealing the Pogba deal than there is of us signing Benteke (West Ham in from 10/1 to 2/1). Someone knows something....

maybe Benteke being our first choice might tip it our way. West ham wanted Tevez and Bacca so if hammers want Benteke he will be third choice

I thought the boy that went to Chelsea was our first choice? A Palace bid for Michy is more a statement of intent from Marseille than an actual serious bid for the young striker: it “sets the market” for Batshuayi and indicates that if any club bids £32m for him, it’s probably going to be accepted. In exchange, OM is likely to give a bit of a deal to Palace in their pursuit of Mandanda, with the hopes that at the end of the day they’ll come out a little bit ahead. So there’s probably very little chance that Michy Batshuayi will end up at Palace next year, if what Malyon is saying is correct. Pardew, you sneaky little devil.'' Our 'bid' seemed more a case of 'you scratch my back etc..' tbh. Ultimately it worked. Full article...... Anyway, back to Big Ben.
Time to move forward together. |

Quite right about the quality of the media posters on HOL are believing. And on West Ham's finances. Sullivan or Gold tried to get Liverpool to agree to selling Benteke but LFC covering £40K per week of his wages. In April everybody knew about the new tv money. Until I read a quote from Palace, Liverpool or West Ham, I remain patient, confident and trust Parish to do good deals this Summer. We've already done well this Summer spending £20mil on 3 and selling 1 for £10mil roughly and there's aims to buy 1 or 2 more, although YB moving on.

Someone knows something.... Or maybe the bookies know that he's going to Palace and just want to fleece a few spammers by getting them to wet their pants with a 2/1 punt. Never underestimate how crafty these bookies can be.

How much was that debt that sent us into administration and nearly out of business? Looks like chickenfeed now.
