Originally posted by Sayer Keep him we’ve got no one better at holding up the ball , and are we going to get better? If so who? And can we afford them? That's open to debate. He suffers from the Palace 'pass it quick syndrome' His laying-off is not that good either. Given the right service as a big No.9 he ought to be an asset for Burnley so, if we keep Mateta and possibly buy Nketia, we should let him go (but I feel he won't get the wages he is 'earning' at Palace, and as he lacks ambition we will be stuck with him)

I thought PV was saying just the other day ,our young players need that bit of experience among them.. that doesn’t fit with Benteke, out Nketia, in. £ 12 mill would be good money for him. But it will cost all of that just to get a risk in. having seen a bit of Nketia, IMHO, he would have Ito improve, to improve on Benteke. This would look like better business for Burnley than us. He will get the crosses up there.

I’m not convinced he’s still on £120k/wk. I heard on his new contract it dropped to £69k/wk. Anything around £10m has got to be taken. Otherwise he will be out of contact and worthless. Overall he is not a bad player and should suit Burnley. He is undoubtedly one of the best headers out there. He can jump so high. He’ll get the crosses there.

I can see no way he will go to Burnley. He won’t want to move at this stage of his career for a relegation fight. We still need him and even if they offer what we want Benteke will not want to go. In addition we still need him in the absence of forward signings so the club won’t be upset if he refused to go. But what do I know it is just what I think and he will probably be gone by next week.

COYP Sadly I make you right, plus part of the attraction for some foreign players is living in or around London and I doubt burnley will get anywhere near matching what we pay him to make the move up north worthwhile

Any depletion in the quantity and quality of the squad will affect our league position. We have built it up steadily and can field a quality team whereas before it was often a struggle. I can't see any benefit in a move for CB to a possible relegation rival.

Burnley have four games in hand and could go on a run. They have done it before. CB adds a lot to the team ask RH ad PV.

Why would CB want to move to Burnley? And I don’t think PV would want to sell him anyway. Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978
