id also read somewhere that Benteke is due a loyalty payment on 23/07 and that is what the hold up was....

i dont care how much is involved if hes waiting for money do we want him playing for us??!!!

Slightly naïve. They ALL want to bleed out as much money as they can. Yes that means our own players too.
Short career blah blah, we've all heard it all before.
Trust me, if waiting for a loyalty bonus from Liverpool is all that's holding this up Palace would snap him up by the 24th in a heartbeat. I doubt that's the only factor. Liverpool want more money, we don't want to pay more, Benteke undecided about his next move (plus rumours he wants a pay rise to sign) again something I doubt Palace will be comfortable with.

Waiting for a couple of extra weeks for a bonus? Surely we'd all do that?

Benteke is still not back from holiday and we are still in for him (supposedly) - according to Dom Fifield, guardian journo who first broke the news

 


Dont let Cabaye go

Liverpool have signed the geezer from Newcastle (not even going to try and spell his name), I predict this gets the ball rolling for benteke's departure #optimism

LP waiting until the bitter end - they can sell him again in winter window for roughly the same price. we're desperate - they know it. if not us, some club will be in utter shambles in december and will throw whatever money they need to stay up. imagine bournemouth in the relegation zone in december (not far fetched). maxim writes the check with no issue to bring in CB. what are a few millions pounds to him? and if they go down, he loses buckets.

LP know that Palace (which seems to have been the only club to have shown a serious interest) is losing interest and looking elsewhere and making bids for other players (Berahino) Benteke knows he has little chance of getting game time, and that after 23rd July he will get his bonus. So I think its possible (hit and hope I know) that we'll see a lot of movement towards a deal with Palace this coming week

Have always felt that the complete lack of comment by either club or manager means that it still might be possible. Perhaps I'm just naively optimistic but I still feel as though this one might suddenly be announced one afternoon.

 


We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Liverpool may also need the money from a CB deal in order to buy, ever thought of that. Silence is golden in this case!

If the theory regarding his loyalty payment being due today is true,then we should see some activity in the next few days.

Apparently, he has not travelled with the Liverpool squad, so anything is possible.

Players who were at the Euros got extra holidays .....it's nothing more than that.

Mind you somebody did say they saw him house hunting in Warlingham and rumours that he is meeting David Nugent in Sainsburys car park next week. My cousins sisters friend knows Bentekes dads brother who used to look after his pet Parrot and the Parrots pet food is now coming from a shop in Purley ! Make of that what you will. Apparently the parrot is also fairly wealthy and has been heavily backing the transfer at the bookies which could explain the odds.

the Sainsburys car park comment was not really funny the first time (about ten years ago now?) So boring
