I'd highly doubt he would go, unless the contract was decent and for a fair few years.

IMO I'd get him gone, this is the last chance to get a transfer fee for him.

In normal circumstances nobody is offering 10-12m for him. In the summer he is in the last year of his contract, so we are in a familiar position of giving him a new contract of letting him go for free.

Maxwell Cornet is doing rather well and the crowd seem to love him.

I don’t blame them, he looks decent.

its costs us 6.249MI/per year in salary to keep him, so agree let him be gone asap!

I think Tekkers is really happy at Palace sitting on his arse for a mere £6 million!


As do the Evening Standard according to the following Beeb entry in today's gossip column:

"Christian Benteke, 31, has no intention of leaving Crystal Palace this January, despite Burnley seeing the Belgium striker as a potential replacement for Chris Wood. (Evening Standard)"

Benteke's continuing presence is your fault and mine. At least as much as anyone else's.

The fact is, and it's been said openly by players everywhere from Gallagher on down, players right now love it at Palace. The fans are behind them, the manager is someone everyone wants to play for, the club is in London where they all want to live, we play the sort of football players want to play, and we're on the up. There's now a palpable sense of respect for and excitement around Palace. If a big four/six team isn't in for you, we're fast becoming THE destination of choice. And that includes you, Newcastle and Everton. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that we may be at the start of a golden age for Palace.

And you think Benteke, who's earned millions over his career so is hardly broke, is going to leave all that for an extra 5% at Burnley? Have you ever f***ing been to Burnley away? Do you think Mrs. Benteke is gonna hit the shops at that "mall" between Manchester Road and Turf Moor? Dream on. We are now a club players don't want to leave unless the destination they're going to is the very top of the game. And that isn't Burnley.

I don't think he could be persuaded to leave. I can't see him wanting to exchange his nice easy gig in South London for a northern moorland town.

Good post, but allow me to be a little pendantic and guess that Mr and Mrs B would be living and shopping nowhere near East Lancashire.

The Extending of Benteke and Wickhams Contracts were unbelievably bad decisions by Parish, on a par with selling Murray And Jedinak,
four absolute howlers

In a technical sense, this may be true, but if you've ever been to Burnley away you'll know the image, on a purely conceptual level, of Mr and Mrs Benteke strolling around the charity shops, Poundland's, and the pasty stands in Burnley's outdoor shopping precinct is nevertheless too delicious not to contemplate. Plus, to my shock, they serve white wine at the food outlets in Turf Moor. This, presumably, is in anticipation of the arrival of a better class of player's wife since it seems unlikely that a glass of Chardonnay would be the preferred half-time tipple of the natives.

America would suit the Benteke's, Miami or LA
