Don't get me wrong, I really want a striker in - but Benteke is too much ££ unless we get the add-ons agreed - plus he's not set the world alight the last couple of seasons, so not my first choice. I'm hoping that in the background, SP is negotiating elsewhere and Benteke is one of our targets rather than the only one.

Quite. In the last few years this site has become numpty heaven. It seems particularly bad over the summer.

There are obvious reasons for this. Trouble is, many of the sillier angry posts are coming from those who have been posting on here for many years. The knee keeps jerking.

We don't have a brand new state of the art stadium. JERK. SP is pocketing all the profits.

We haven't bought the entire Real Madrid playing staff. JERK. Our entire management is incompetent.

We dared to stick an entirely normal add on clause on a deal that the Echo scoffed at. JERK. We are a laughing stock in the football world.

We lose our first home game albeit with only half the first team. JERK. Slaughter the first born!


No one is expecting "a brand new state of the art stadium"; almost all would settle for an update on where we are with the plans for the main stand. Neither has anyone expressed any wish to sign "the entire Real Madrid playing staff"; again almost all would settle for a half-decent striker and replacements for the players we've sold for very good money. Stipulating a £2.5m payment for qualification to the Champions League is not "an entirely normal add on clause", it's complete insanity. And it really wasn't about the first game, it was about the continuation of the same rubbish we've been served up for the whole of 2016; there isn't a football supporter in the land that wouldn't be concerned about two wins in 22 in the PL. I think I could make more appropriate use of the word 'jerk'.

We sorted that out at 200 pages - now we just need the clubs to agree a fee!

Liverpool don't need the money, so they aren't really bothered if they sell or not to us or anyone.

This is the whole issue with football now, the super rich clubs can just stockpile players.

Benteke isnt bothered he is still getting paid if he plays or not.

Having a pop at Parish and Pardew, shows a total lack of understanding of the crazy economics of football now.

Or he gets kidnapped and is forced to listen to 'Glad All Over' x 1000 times until he surrenders as a gibbering wreck and agrees to sign along the dotted line....(Start up the van and get your balaclavas on, Parish & Brighty....)

Can't believe this thread is still running.
If he signs, he signs, if he don't, he don't.
If he does then we'll probably hear it first on Sky Sports News so what's the point of continuous speculation.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

But that's the whole point ..."crazy economics". We've just sold Bolassie for ridiculous money but don't expect to meet the asking price for a bloke we've been after for weeks.

exactly,

I have an image of the boardroom at Palace 5 mins after Bolasie goes - all rubbing hands together and pats on the back, "£400k in and £25 mill out, what a result!"
Then 5 minutes lates moaning that £30 mill for Benteke is madness and "they're trying to mug us off".

If that's not the case, they need to do something to change what it looks like from our side of the fence....
