The problem we've got is that we're not linked with anybody else at all. If we were linked with another half decent striker people would be saying "move on" and "f*** liverpools unrealistic demands" but because we aren't linked with anybody else people are desperate for us to pay £32m which seems insane.

I'd rather we looked elsewhere. But dunno where the else is

Liverpool want to get back what they paid for Benteke: Palace aren’t prepared to pay that. Result: Benteke won’t be coming to Palace. Let’s move on now and forget this farce.

I’d be surprised if Benteke joined Everton though – that would be like West Ham having Bolasie. Imagine the melt-down on here if that had happened. Still, I suppose if Everton are prepared to match Pool’s valuation.....

Anyway, I no longer care who has him.

I agree with you! I was just pointing out that although the initial money is lower the deal could be seen as better.

This club of mine constantly tests my loyalty but I as do many other fans never falter or crumble My loyalty to the Palace will never waver My unadulterated passion for a club I’ve grown up supporting wont die, and my desire to keep coming back and take the blows won’t succumb to negativity

We go to £27 or £28 million plus add on's that could be the deal clincher.

Liverpool want him off the books before the window shuts,we should go back with a higher bid,we have the cash.

c'mon Parish lets do this.

FFS if you want Benteke, then pay f**king money.

This is like one of those brits abroad who haggle with the locals to get 10p off.

Again totally agree
