Originally posted by Johnny Byrne If he, or Berahino do join the club, neither of them really want to be here. So perhaps CPFC 2010 and AP will find a proven quality striker (or 2) that do want to be at CPFC. Easier said than done though! Very few players actually want to play for clubs they sign for, most of the time it's a career move or loads of money. Benteke, Berahino, Babacar and all the rest you could name don't care who they play for as long as the deal is right. That's modern football, if you're waiting for a player to publicly state he is desperate to play for Palace you will be waiting a long long time. The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years

Still got a bit of momentum this ol thread, very impressed. Will he come/won't he who knows? What I do know is that we won't be seeing a thread like this again for a while. Long live the Benteke thread!

Yeah but not caring where you play is very different from being adamantly opposed to playing somewhere. Betting 30 million pounds on anyone is risky especially for us...I'd rather sign two strikers in the 10-15 million range who are interested in playing here.

The bookies are saying he'll be at Palace [Link] and I agree. Just waiting for 23/07/2016 to arrive when he qualifies for his one year bonus. Then I'll know. [Link]

Benteke needs to move on and actually play games. Liverpool surely have to do a deal on askng price in oder to release funds for further signings themselves. This means we have two weeks max to get this thread over 150!

So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

I'm sure the reality is that until Benteke drops his wage demands, he won't be signing for us anytime soon. As time passes, this maybe more of a reality for us if and when he decides playing is more important than money. If there is some form of loyalty bonus due for him at Liverpool - then this could be significant in him playing for less money too I guess. In the meantime I'll keep returning to this page a number of times a day!!

I feel left out of this thread so thought I would add to it. Benteke was fantastic at Villa but it's too much money and a bigger risk than buying two promising 15M strikers instead which I think we need

why don't we buy rolandinho 36 skillful as hell free agent 2 season better than benteke Wishing our fans would stop f. Ing about and start hoping we can hold on to our best players for a change and keep our squad for more than one season then we might be the PRemiership club we want to be
