Rudi Hedman Flag Caterham 12 Jul 16 10.35am Send a Private Message to Rudi Hedman Add Rudi Hedman as a friend

I don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere in this thread but a few weeks ago a Villa fan told me that Beneteke's agent, Kismet Eris, is a really sh1tty person to deal with and a reptation for being one of the worst around.

I cannot believe Benteke or LFC (Klopp to be precise) will be happy with Benteke staying at Liverpool. He has no chance of playing and Klopp will ostracise more to get the message across.

He'll be leaving Liverpool and I think it will be in this window. Question is where to?

If the CB deal is off at the moment (we don't know if it is off), we need to advance with other targets and if CB is on again, it's on again. If not, there's nothing much we can do.

Guys, this saga is a nightmare. Firstly SP will have all the angles covered as he loves Palace as much as we do. If Benteke does sign then it will be right for the club that I am sure of. If he doesn't come then AP & SP will get in a good alternative of that I am also sure. So lets keep everything crossed and hope for the correct outcome in 2010 I trust!!

There are better strikers around available for less money I'm sure. Our scouts need to get working harder.

Have we actually made a bid? Haven't heard a dicky bird from both clubs, it's just media frenzy from so called ITK journos

What price can you put on a 20 goal a season striker.
If we do sign him we are definitely paying over the odds by a good 6 or 7m.

I would have thought him & his agent are just waiting as long as long as they can incase another offer comes in.

You claim that we will be paying "over the odds" and that the correct figure should be £24m or £25m but how do you arrive at that figure?

I have no objection to the player and his agent keeping us waiting to see if any better offers come along as long as we are doing the same and seeing if we can come up with a "better" alternative too

Yea I'd say 24 or 25m.
He's had a poor season at a big club. His value should have dropped but Liverpool know we're desperate for a goalscorer & are playing hardball.
I think SP knows exactly what he's doing.
He won't mind paying over the odds for somone like Benteke.

You also have to take into account the market increase with the new TV deal kicking in. What you'd have paid £20m for last season is £30m this year as a general example.

 


This club of mine constantly tests my loyalty but I as do many other fans never falter or crumble My loyalty to the Palace will never waver My unadulterated passion for a club I’ve grown up supporting wont die, and my desire to keep coming back and take the blows won’t succumb to negativity

His value will have dropped due to 'failing' at LFC and now out of favour and unlikely to be selected. But his value goes back up again because all transfers have increased. Bolasie (top end valuation), Gayle, everyone.

At first it was a shock but if you look at it from that angle, which Parish probably has, it's to be expected.

Canterbury Palace Flag Whitstable 12 Jul 16 11.34am Send a Private Message to Canterbury Palace Add Canterbury Palace as a friend

I'm slightly staggered at the level of impatience exhibited here and that, staggeringly, people seem to be suggesting that we have better options available!

It would appear that the efficient manner in which we secured the first three signings has backfired slightly in that people are now not willing to wait a couple of weeks for this one, potentially the largest in our history.

As the Football365 article above points out, not only is his goalscoring record in the Premier League exemplary but he would suit our style perfectly. It is grossly unfair to sum him up on last season when he is one of the 5 highest scoring players in the league over a 4 season period.

There are plenty of ongoing transfer sagas that have been rumbling on for far longer than this one and I would suggest that if there is still a genuine chance of signing him, we should go all out as he could well be worth 15-20 goals a season to us.

 


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