The problem with this deal is do we put a relegation clause (if the worst happens). Does benteke receive a pay rise if we were to get into europe? Agent fee? Contract length? Does benteke receive sign on fee ? Is player waiting for other clubs to show interest? This is why this deal will drag on unfortunately Negotiations take time, its a lot of money involved. Wouldn't you want all bases covered.

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five! |

Right after the Stockport match, I always knew we would sign a player like Benteke!
Bring back Brolin |

I disagree, that amount of money should be for a striker that plays regularly and scores around 20 goals, althought a lot of players in the current market are being sold for crazy amounts of money, I do not believe £30 million or above should be paid for a striker that could not get regular first team football and could not score regularly

Benteke is a class act and as has rightly been pointed out still scored goals under a manager who didn't sign him and clearly didn't fancy him at all in a team who play the opposite style to his strengths. A bad season happens for many circumstances besides the fact of the quality of the player - he'd be worth every single penny imo.

I'm not saying that he's not a good player and I know that he was not suited to Liverpool's system. I actually think he would do well for us and the only reason I wouldn't want him at Palace is because of his dive against us last season. However, I just think that £30 million is far too much for him

It is difficult to judge a player's value's in the current market because big clubs are prepared to buy players for more than they are actually worth, but in my opinion, someone like Harry Kane is worth around £30M however I know that if someone like Real Madrid were interested in him, they would be willing to pay stupid amounts
