Except for when he says, “I thought we played well until ............” I wish that was lying, because if he really believes we played well we are in trouble.

I saw the story quoting Benteke’s agent suggesting that Palace were planning on offering another year.

As for Benteke, it doesn't surprise me that the club are contemplating giving him an extension NOT because I want to see him stay (I don't, I wish he'd go to WBA this window). Unfortunately, as I've previously posted, I don't see us taking up the option to buy Batshuayi; I expect Wickham to be shown the door in the summer and if Benteke also went, we would be left with just Ayew and an on loan Mateta (Wilf may or may not stay - who knows? If he keeps scoring at the rate he has - 9 goals in 17 league games, we may well see serious offers coming in). The club aren't likely to fork out the kind of money needed to bring in another striker, especially with the more pressing needs in midfield and defence Ergo, it will be cheaper to give Tekkers a new one year contract (at a much reduced rate one would hope) and have him on the bench.

He added something to his usual sloth, stupidity and lack of pride last night; he was pulling out of challenges as if he was worried about being hurt. He also made a few little false runs as if he wanted to look like he was part of the team, but didn't want to actually receive the ball. I wondered if a move to another club was in the air? But I think that's just clutching at straws. Who would want him? Sounds like we do. Maybe he will get a pay rise. Bloody farcical.

Benteke is a symbol of everything that is wrong at the club; he offers a fine example to any freeloader out there how absolute mediocrity can be rewarded handsomely.

Very disturbing story in the mail that we are set to offer him a new contract. I really cannot believe such insanity. If this is true I’m seriously thinking about slashing my wrists, I can’t take any more of Benteke.

Tekkers was woeful yesterday (set up for Wilf, aside) - back to his old ways

I Know it takes time but the structure and long term plan of the playing side of club seem very uncertain to say the least.Why are we in this situation with so many out of contract players and no youth seemingly not able to make step up .Having been in premiership for those many years we should be by now just adding the odd bit of quality and youth, but after current results we don't know where to start with transfers in or out ?

Can't see him agreeing to reduced salary, so at 120K per week for another 78 weeks it would cost us £9.4 million, we would be better off getting Glen Murray back at least he would score the odd goal from the Bench,if this does happen then SP has really lost the plot!

Should this thread be renamed as "Benteke - unwelcome return to previous form"? Discuss.
