Agree, it could be a risk too far.. As much as I'd like him in our side, we cannot afford this to balls up, we are not a city , Utd or a Chelsea who can take a big financial loss on the chin and move on. If we do end up signing him and it fails were knackered. Don't think we're ready to risk this kind of outlay just yet . Scares me too. And he'll no doubt be on somewhere near the £140k he was on at Liverpool. Noone else think this is crazy? The guy will get as much in one day for kicking a ball as most people get in a year. My £470 season ticket (or whatever it is), which I am struggling to justify, will pay for him for about half an hour. It's now got to the point where the TV money is so much that the clubs could let everyone in for free every week and it would not affect their income that much. At some point the whole thing will implode.

Couldn't we get that Islam Slimany fellow for less than 30mil. Benteke is good but not 30 Million good i reckon. If we do sign him i hope he proves skeptics likeme wrong for the sake of CPFC.

I believe we are bidding at levels others wouldn't go to so that players don't get to talk to those other clubs. In any straight contest where a player can choose Palace or a decent PL club, where terms for the player are equal, we won't win. We'd basically come off 2nd v everyone except Bournemouth, Watford and be 50/50 v Swansea or WBA. Go well beyond the bidding of your Evertons and WHUs and they don't get to talk to the player. Ultimately that will make future acquisitions cheaper because we'll be seen as a better bet than we were. Short term it costs. But I'm convinced Bolasie is gonna go, sadly.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |
