At £30 mill I think Benteke is a little over priced. Bony could be better value.

Usually, the buying club negotiates down from the asking price. £30m is a bit less that Liverpool paid for him and it could be that Palace could negotiate down from that to...? Maybe £25m? Kinda the going rate for a top striker, especially since he is still only mid 20's and suits Palace's playing style.

Palace would still need to sign another striker tho, someone playing behind the main striker...someone like - Bony?!

Either both have good qualities and benteke is younger but would cost more. And more likely to use us as a step to bigger team if he plays well. On the down side bony is older and may have one of those age reducing African passports. Secretly could be 42. If you can get benteke for less than 25 mill yes if not bony at somewhere between 15 and 20 million would be great.

Benteke.
Having two 'Wilfs' in the side may get confusing.

Time to move forward together.

with our injuries list we need both

Definitely will need another striker in the squad, regardless of if we get Benteke or not (I hope we do!)

Wickham, Benteke, Campbell is our striking options, with Bolasie, Zaha, Townsend and hopefully Kaikai to compete on the wings.

Campbell will likely leave. So we'll need a third striker up top.
