Liverpool are now in a position where it would be hard to hang on to him and don't think there could be another suitor so advanced as the mighty Eagles. Liverpool will want to tie this up once they have done all they can in the negotiations. I do reckon this will happen and by the end of the week. Still, wadda I know? Yours faithfully Nigey boy

I think we should be patient this may run for a while yet.

Christian Bale as Dieter Dengler from Rescue Dawn, anyone? The topic is Christian's with their surname beginning with B. The game is declaring the most unlikely Christian 'B' to where the number 9 at Palace next season.

Has he scored 49 goals in 100 for another Prem club that was actually very sh1t during most of that time but now could be available once player has gotten used to the fact he doesn't fit and isn't wanted by a word famous club. No, Gayle hasn't. He will do well in a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 type formation in the champ. Hey, you asked.

Let's be honest, there is only a handful of teams playing outside of the prem that can afford to spend £30m on a player and why would any of them want Benteke? I must admit I'm not really sold on the idea of Benteke for £30m on £130k a week. I think this kind of deal shows how poor our scouting system is, that we can't find a cheaper plan than this.

Benteke may be waiting for a DATE. Not a bird, a calendar date. I am guessing that he gets a huge loyalty bonus at ONE YEAR'S service and that he didn't realise this until his agent told him. The date maybe in a few days...I dunno...someone needs to look up the date he signed for the reds, and my bet is that he will be at Palace the day after that. This makes sense as to all the positive rumours and Liverpool's hurry to get him to us (knowing he'd lose his loyalty bonus). This also makes sense of his agent's recent public statement that Benteke fully intends to see out his agreed 5 year contract. Parchmore Eagle the legend. Thank me all of you please and chill out.

And BTW, who wants to pay 120k a week to someone who is on holiday and can't even be with the preseason camp? Nahhhh....f^ck-it...let him stay at Liverpool and let him train with them for 120k a week until the season starts. Then let him enjoy the Liverpool bench and see if we can't pick him up for 25million either in August or January. And don't forget, every 4 weeks of 120k is just 20k shy of 1 million. Nahhh...pity...but we want to keep our financial strength. Someone like a Defoe or a Charlie Austin or both! And we'll still be pushing for Europe...so...F-OFF Liverpool. [Link]

The Daily Mail this morning carries an interesting article on the Benteke transfer. report indicates that Palace and wet spam are just not willing to met the asking price that Liverpool are demanding. South London & Proud Sometimes I really wonder if family are really worth it. Because it doesn’t matter how time and affection you give It’s never enough

He will sign for someone. I suppose the agent advising that he will stay is because Liverpool are potentially pricing Benteke out of a deal.

The deal seems dead in the water because Liverpool demand full reimbursement of their outlay,which no club in their right mind, including ourselves, are willing to pay. Time to move on as I am sure SP and the board are doing so.
