My money's on Benteke signing on or soon after the 23rd. The silence from both clubs speaks volumes to me, as does the odds by the professionals saying he'll be at Palace by the start of the season. Also, his value goes down the longer he waits, and clubs like Palace are shopping NOW - not necessarily in January, where the bidders will be the bottom strugglers with more risk and pressure. He is probably reading about our current bids for alternatives too which if we secure, makes his deal less likely. It's a waiting game, but I think after next weekend we'll all have a better idea of the situation. Whatever, why should we sweat when we've bought our recent trio and still shopping for more?

He is also I believe back from holiday on Monday? So one way or another things should be a lot clearer by the end of next week. Hope youre right about 23rd

First of all I'd like to welcome page 131. I doubt anyone on here really has much idea what's going on. The options seem to be: a) The deal is more or less done but he's hanging on for his Liverpool bonus and will sign next week; b) He thinks little old Palace are beneath his dignity and is quite happy to wait for something better to come along; c) The player is happy to sign but the clubs can't agree a fee. Personally I very much hope it's ( a). There has been a lot of discussion about whether he's worth it, whatever 'it' may be. The value of a player is only a factor of how keen a club is to buy and how keen a club is to sell. In this case I think it's clear both clubs are keen but are Palace keen enough to pay (say)£32 million or are Liverpool so desperate to offload that they will accept (say) £27 million. As long as our board think this is affordable then I'd like to see the deal done.

Just heard the deal with Palace is off and he's gone to Rotherham, I'll get a link up in a minute.

Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing! "The most arrogant, obnoxious bunch of deluded little sun tanned, loafer wearing mummy's boys I've ever had the misfortune of having to listen to" (Burnley forum) |

Edited by dg1937 (21 Jul 2016 3.17pm) One of the problems is that Pool are overvaluing the player and SP doesnt want to pay over the odds, so the deal is stalled. I am sure there is much behind the scenes discussion going on and hopefully aome kind of deal will emerge, some time after the 23rd!

Now I haven't heard Parish utter a single word regarding Benteke or Liverpool and yet you claim to have the inside scoop; is he a great mate of yours?

My opinion is that the player isnt worth what Pool paid for him and something like the £27m Palace have (reportedly) offered

The deals over. Palace have moved onto over targets and so should as we as fans. Christian Benteke does not see a future at Cpfc, otherwise he would of put a transfer request. Move on let's sign D.Sakho and Slimani or Dzeko

With Liverpool looking at completing a £25m deal for Win what's his name from Newcastle, they will surely want to get some money back in. Queue Benteke sale ?
