As for not wanting to go to Everton...us being in London (where he's settled) as well as almost guaranteed starting week in week out would be a big pull.

I don't deny he a good player but 30m for someone with maybe 2 to 3 years at the top level is dreadful business sense and there's no sell on value.

I have never criticised CB and am grateful for his contributions but must say I think I would prefer Giroud, despite the age difference.

If we were to sell Benteke and therefore not sign Sakho many Palace fans will be asking why they bother.

I think fans are missing the point if we quote them 65m, then they will asses options from abroad, who are cheaper and have a similar quality to Benteke. Everton has already spend loads and can't see them shell out 60+m on Benteke plus siggy and demari gray. There's other options that are cheaper that the package they'd have to offer Benteke.

Indeed, but they have just sold Lukaku for a few of £75 Mill rising to £90 Mill so I suspect that their 'Net spend' is hardly anything.

That is correct "Willo".
I have a contact at "Tottenham Hotspurs" who has emailed me to say that Daniel Levy's total "Net Spend" is £14
million on players.

Very good for a team second best in England.

 


Palace 13th 2017/18.

Thank you for the information.

My contact at Tottenham tells me about the "One of us" players that made their squad last season in various competitions ie Harry Winks, Anton Walkes, Kyle Walker-Peters, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josh Onomah etc etc.

By that logic we should sell Benteke before he gets older and looses his resale value?.

Take the profit and invest into a young striker and an older one with bags of experience and quality.

My pick of players wasn't to say they'd be the ones we'd sign but more to illustrate that £60m is a lot of money and options would be available possibly to make us stronger than by keeping him.

Anyway I'm totally pro keeping him. Just pointing out other no so bad options..

One cannot stop other clubs showing an interest in one of your players.
Chelsea have cast eyes in the direction of a few strikers in pre-season.

So far as CB is concerned, I would be surprised if Palace want to, or have any intention of, selling him. Proven 15-20 goals per season Prem strikers don't come cheap, and I would guess that Palace would expect no less than £40m if they did sell him. And they'd have to pay an equivalent amount to get a striker with a comparable record to CB.

However, what we don't know are CB's personal agenda and FdB's football agenda, which are the two factors likely to decide this saga.

I really like Benteke, but, I think there are strikers in Europe that could do the job for a third of what we would want to sell him for. £60m has been suggested and I think that is a fair amount, considering his age and PL experience.
It is all up to FdB, but what we don't want is a Dimitry Payet saga happening here. If Baenteke wants to go, and tbh, if Chelsea do come knocking, I wouldn't blame him, then let's get as much money as possible, through in Zouma as a transfer, not a loan and let's move on.
I like Bakambu from Villareal, if he did leave.


If there was so many option abroad then why are teams struggling to pickup strikers also United wouldn't off gone spend 90mil of Lukaku.

It's hard to find quality strikers that work in the Prem EU football is different style which is why you see many fail here yet are superstars in Spain.

other thing is would they come to Palace even if Benteke went for 60mil that means other clubs would up the prices because they know you have those funds plus desperate Liverpool did this with Benteke.
