I think tomorrow we will have a good indication which way this deal is going. maybe a medical has been done which none of us know about.

Originally posted by Painter Where is it quoted, he wants a pay rise? I have read, he has agreed personal terms, but Liverpool rejected our £25m bid and want nearer £30m. How you get out of that, the player is holding out for higher wages, I don't know. I am confident Parrish will do the best deal possible. Bottom line is, we need a young proven Premiership goal scorer, they don't come cheap. Hi Painter, I too was under the impression that personal terms had been agreed, that's why I got brassed off to read the later piece in the mail saying he wanted a pay rise to come to palace: danger has that link, back about 15 posts, sorry I am doing this on my phone so it may be a bit more or a bit less than 15 posts, just look for danger and you will see it cheers Edited by Painter (03 Jul 2016 1.33pm)

I have a funny feeling hes waiting on a "bigger" club to come in .. doesn't currently look that way and palace is probably his best option for first team Premier League Football. This Might take until the end of the week to conclude.

Only problem is if we pull this one off we may get a tad confident that we will finish top half and that just ain't normal as a lifelong palace fan lol

Reading the Liverpool papers it seems that they think we will meet the £30M valuation as we bid over that for the Belgian bloke who has just joined Chelsea . They also refer to Benteke or at least his agent asking Liverpool for a pay rise if he is to stay as a bench warmer . He is reported Liverpools top earner at £140K a week . Its all of course rumour time with the agent trying to get the best deal for his man but it looks like we are in pole position if we want to pay the full asking

We should just pay the extra £5m they want for him and get the deal done and dusted early doors. If personal terms have been agreed it should be a pretty swift deal. The longer it drags on, teams like West Ham will pinch him from us and we'll be chasing 3rd,4th choice targets again. We've identified Benteke so lets get it done.

So rumours that Benteke has been such a blinding success in Liverpool he wants us to increase his wages from the current £140k a week. IF that is the case hopefully that's the end of this potential move. We don't need money deluded idiots like that. He should be thankful that somebody still wants him not trying to blackmail them. All very odd...reported we have agreed personal terms....but don't you need Liverpool to agree price before you talk to their player ?Then after reportedly agreeing terms he decides wants more money. Strange smell about this one .... he is not that good... time to move on to next target.

His agent had a track record of playing these kind of games, week in, week out, when he was at Villa. It destabilized the player in the end and created bad relationships between the club, the player and the fans. Detroit area Since 1998 and still a Season Ticket Holder

We have gone for second best and older fading goal scorers before. None have turned out well, if you want success, you need to go for the best you can get. A number will chose so called glamour teams, so it is very difficult to get the right man. Every credit to Parrish for trying to get deals down early.
