All right, Benteke scored in his 2 of his Selhurst Park appearances, but for 30 mill? A big no from me - that is not the Palace style even if the silly TV-money makes it possible. Sakho from Hammers or the central american Arsenal striker. So what is the 'Palace style'? Staggering into the PL, once a decade, via the playoffs, then going straight back down, after one disappointing season? This is our forth consecutive season and we've moved on from our previous style, although if we don't compete with our signings, we'll be rapidly returning to it. Sakho managed just five goals (in 20 appearances) last season and it's no surprise that you couldn't recall Joel Campbell's name as he's only managed three in two seasons (although I don't think he's primarily a forward, is he?). And those two would cost us north of £20m; that's 'a big no from me'!

Fact is that Benteke is exactly they type of forward who'd fit into our style. If we get him (which as the days go on I sadly doubt) along with a playmaker then this window will be one of the best, if not the best, we've ever conquered.

But I also think we need two striker additions. If Sakho from West Ham is available too I'd be looking at that if I were Pardew. A choice of 1 of 3 or 2 of 3 (if going 442), of Benteke, Sakho and Wickham is actually pretty decent.

These negotiations take time, and I'm sure all the stuff about us having an agreement with benteke before agreeing a fee is materialised by the papers. We are probably still negotiating. I expect this to happen before the end of the month.

Not signing today or over the weekend. Relax and be patient. Assume not signing next week either as everybody will be in USA.

Praise to Palace defenders over the last few seasons who have kept the goal average reasonable and get forward as well. Nobody seems to criticise the midfield but I cannot work out what they are doing - who is doing what? Cue Tony Pulis. Dont think you can criticise one forward Adebayor or Benteke Wickham its a solitary life trying to get on the end of aimless crosses. Oh for a modern Freedman and Morrison duo the Bournemouth manager said we had no partnerships astute of him. Style well its all a bit biff bang wallop plenty of effort what can you say it works sometimes. Actually think Haangeland Mariappa Adebayor will be missed also think Van Persie offers quality but not being considered. Signing a big name for huge money makes a statement thats what we are told and other top players will join us the logic of the bankrupt.

A lot of people on Twitter saying that it is pretty much a done deal to palace. I think this will happen Monday.
