So how did he pass a medical 12 months ago?

Possibly wasn't as bad when he had that medical? Just a thought.

According to agent , the player is not close to leaving and wants to stay. I'm not sure if this is an old article.

Agent says doesn't want to leave.

Typical.

The agent saying "Hey, he is still available if you want him, just pay more money"

Agents, simply doing whats best for them rather than their clients.

Sky are not usually unreliable. It could be taken from an out of date interview but I doubt Sky would post it up as a main headline on their website if that were the case.
Leave the offer on the table but stop wating time and move on to other targets in the meantime. Or risk ending up starting the season with just Connor....who'll no doubt get injured in the first game!

If the bin dippers sign gotze when exactly is benteke going to get game time , oh probably league cup 3rd round

 
pompeyeagle Flag Relocated to Shropshire 11 Jul 16 5.47pm

I personally hope he doesn't come now. I've had enough hearing about it. I think if he genuinely wanted to play for us it would have been done and dusted by now but he's obviously holding out for a bigger club to come in for him. Berahino would probably be a better option anyway.

 
Woolsy Flag Essex 11 Jul 16 5.58pm

I love & hate transfer silly season. I really hope this doesn't collapse as I think he would be perfect for our style of play. As much as I like Berahino (who we've also be linked to) I don't think he would suit our style, unless used in 4-4-2 system.
Fingers still crossed for Benteke! Really don't want to end up with another desperate loan signing like Adebayor or Sanogo!

 
Hansy Flag 11 Jul 16 6.00pm

His agent would rather him stay at Liverpool and earn nothing, or sign a deal at Palace for alot of money.

I am sure I know what his agent wants. The delay could be that Benteke is on Holiday.

 
matthau Flag South Croydon 11 Jul 16 6.04pm

exactly, the agent gets nothing if he stays or a windfall if he signs for palace.


all theyre doing is negotiating his image rights or something like that.

Or maybe he's actually a good agent who genuinely represents his player and we are all in denial?

Sorry, the pessimist in me

Mstrobez Flag 11 Jul 16 6.11pm

What if he actually just doesn't want to come to palace, I mean could anyone actually blame him? Struggled under klopp but easy to forget he left a villa side in a very similair position to us. Just played an FA cup final but that aside let's not forget we had the worst record in the league second half of last season. Would surely seem like a huge step back, maybe he wants to see if a West Ham/Southampton/Everton come knocking? As much as we think we are, we are not as big as these clubs yet, still a long way to go.

B eneteke odds to join palace are 1/4 stay at Liverpool is now 6/1 from 16/1 reckon this ain't going to happen myself reckon its going to fall though its now taken almost a month but what do I know

His agent smells like someone desperate for 'a big club' to come in.

In May he's 'ignored', in June he 'may have to leave', in July he's 'one year into a 5 year contract.'

I'm sure if Chelsea came in, his client would suddenly be feeling ignored by Klopp again.

Simon Jordan had the right attitude towards agents.

Not wanting to come is fair enough, but wouldn't he have just said that weeks ago?

It seems a scenario he's reluctant to, but open to persuasion for the right deal. It's whether or not we're willing to pay whatever that is.

 
The eagle's Flag 11 Jul 16 6.24pm

reckon we should move on now
