Apparently Liverpool desperate to reduce their wage bill but everything about this deal smells.

Sounds like AP cannot live without Benteke why not have a similar deal as Adebayor had? That would reduce their wage bill and save us buying the plonker sorry footballer.

Apparently a freelance football journalist who works with clubs in the South of England.

Of course we can trust him.

Well he says what I want to hear, so count me in

So mapletree his telling the truth about benteke joining than

No idea

But I didn't expect to hear of a signing today in any case. Lots of shenanigans going on.

Were I a betting man, after the experience with Cabaye, I still wouldn't have a clue.

I hate agents, they lie.

Yup, intimately. Everything about him that a two minute Google search can give and more.

That's why I know he can be trusted.

According to the METRO a bid has been accepted for B eneteke and its just finalising the contract apparently

And this article in the same organ states the diametrical opposite.

Based on agent propaganda / weaselment / bullsh!t.

Forget him and move on, at least we save the club from spending that much money on a flop

It says this:

"Palace were thought to have had a bid accepted for Benteke after improving on their opening £25million offer and were just finalising the final details of the Belgian international’s wages."

Which implies "But that has turned out to be bollocks".

Yup, plenty more available, 6'3'', young, free-scoring international strikers in the English Premier League at the moment. Let's move on, a fortnight is simply too long to wait.

Is nugent still available?

In his good spell with Villa they were not rubbish they played good football and he had good supply of the ball otherwise how would he get those goals.

Palace play 1 forward they don't have number 8 or 10 or attacking number 6 the idea is that the wingers get behind the defence but its old hat teams know how Palace will play.

Palace are complacent and will just carry on like it

You serious, he carried a very poor villa for 2 seasons, created plenty of goals himself, is strong, can use both feet. Regardless if he comes or not, his about the best striker who's available for a club of our size.

We're trying to buy a £30m striker after signing an £11m winger because we're complacent and just want to stay the same?

Right...

 


Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

Warlingham Boy Flag Warlingham 11 Jul 16 10.30pm

This deal is not going to happen as Benteke has a problem with his Achilles' tendon and £31 million is too big a risk.

Could it be he failed a medical?

I know he got the Bacca to West Ham transfer right a few weeks in advance.
