He's already an expensive disaster! Giving him a new contract makes him an even more expensive disaster!

It is suggested here that by extending the contract we have more chance of getting some cash for him in the simmer of 2021.

Can someone explain the maths on this.

Assuming he has maintained same deal then the cost will be in the region of 6,500,000.

So, if a club is prepared to pay 10,000,000 we get a paper income of 3,500,000.

Is it really worth keeping him occupying a squad place in the vague hope of getting in a few million.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

If you offer a contract to a player on less money than his current deal he has the right to a free transfer, obviously that would be different if he agreed to accept it, cant see him accepting that.

I have no idea what his new contract looks like but I did hear that he had far better contract offers from elsewhere yet still chose to sign here.

You would have to assume that it is going to be on reduced guaranteed terms but you just never know with Palace.

A business decision with the club's interests at heart by a shrewd and competent businessman.

Some might take an alternative view and conclude that the lunatics have taken over the asylum !!!!

Lengthy absence counts though. Just need someone to lock Benteke in a coach toilet for a couple of weeks.
