Calm down mate, I think you've got your pants on sideways..... Originally posted by ParchmoreEagle
Let's get something straight, it's ok for Everton to pay well too much for Bolasie, but it's not ok for us to pay a fair price for Benteke. It's a false economy Parish. Let's say we get Benteke in week 3 with zero wins, how many games will he need to get match ready? Probably another 4 or 5... That's a good part of the season gone by then and we could/should be well in the relegation sh1te. And don't give me this cr@p that Liverpool won't sell - they will sell - would've sold f^cking WEEKS ago. Us Palace fans get the sh1t end of the stick all the time. It's excruciating being a palace fan. The money you think you're saving on the Benteke deal you will lose paying out Pardew when he's sacked and TV money if we go down. Pathetic.

Palace are at 7/4 If we end up losing Benteke WITH Bolasie to Everton and buy bargain basement players like the above link I will be going AWOL this year. Sissoko and Remy won't do 'much' better than the strikers we've had because the strikers we've had never get the ball delivered to them. They'll have to win the ball themselves, beat players themselves, and go and score and THAT'S what Benteke does which is why we need him. Unless, after the, "I have a cunning plan..." mastermind Pardew's secret covert black ops, "operation transition" bit of sublime genius, the team ACTUALLY starts to play football (as opposed to hoofball) and manages somehow to link passes through to the strikers! But FMD I won't hold my breath.

Faith , hope and waiting for a train that's not comming all belong in church.
It's good to keep an opened mind, but not so open that your brains fall out. |

Yes we absolutely do, and Saturdays debacle is evidence of that, we are creating nothing from the middle of the park, our best chance of getting something into the danger area was from Townsend, and he starved of any half decent supply.

The guy has no football brain whatsoever, it's painful watching him play. There are vast array of alternatives out there who are much smarter, cheaper, ad far better. Why Liverpool played £32m for him is completely beyond me. If we were to offer £12m I'd say we were being ripped off. Sorry but he's not the answer. Alan, is that you?
Most certainly not European. |
