Originally posted by Midlands Eagle It is seriously silly but don't forget that in the case of a club like Manchester United the money from Sky is only a fraction of their total income and if Lukaku can score enough goals to get his club into the Champions League and also to do well in the competition his huge fee would still be cost effective. Likewise a large fee for Benteke to sit on the bench for Chelsea could also be cost effective for them but we have to hope that the thought of playing regularly for us would outweigh the prospect of playing occasionally for a more high profile club like Chelsea Benteke is a footballing mercenary. He'll go where the monies better and he gets a cut of the action. What Palace can do about it is anybodies guess. But thats modern football, not much to do about skillfully biulding a team. The Sky money has changed nothing in terms of sporting ability, only making the cost more as more money is chasing the same few Edited by adrian b (07 Jul 2017 8.26am)

I can't see us letting him go for less that £35-40 million but who could we get in to replace him? It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Finding a replacement premiership standard CF who can play 40 matches a season without breaking down is a very rare commodity indeed. How much would it cost you now £40m and who's available? Benteke does untold damage to lots of opposition players who go near him anyway! Its also wrong to typecast him as "being a footballing mercenary and wanting to go where the money is better". I am sure he is perfectly happy at Palace, getting plenty of game-time (more than he would at some other clubs) and service. This is a nothing story!

Originally posted by Frickin Saweet for £40m they can have him. FDB could work wonders with that sort of cash Really, how's our recruitment drive going so far. We can't afford to sell Benteke unless a astronomical bid is made 60m. The squad depth is weak as it is. I hope we see a new arrival by next week. When do the players leave for the Asia cup.

I just have a feeling Everton will come in for Benteke once Lukaku has been sold.
