Exactly, stop titting about with ludicrous offers and pay the price thats asked or at least something approaching that.

Or go elsewhere.

This along with the fiasco on Saturday is making us look like a bunch of f***ing idiots.

"It's not the bullet that's got my name on it that concerns me; it's all them other ones flyin' around marked 'To Whom It May Concern.'"

Yes, but don't City want something like £30M for him too? Good luck with that one.

"Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."
Mark Twain.

We have reached the stage now where we either go back with £30 mil upfront .. Or go elsewhere ... Simple as that now, by all account Beteke wants to join us, so we need to suck it up and pay (and get used to paying high for quality if we want to advance the club) or go elsewhere (but where ? Bony would be the same cost, Remy would be £20 mil in this market, Saido won't be leaving until Brom get a replacement)

It beginning to become a bit of a circus, and at this rate we will end up becoming a laughing stock like arsenal are at the moment.

If we are going back in with another bid hopefully it will be as quick as bolasie to Everton , bid - refused new bid - accepted , medical personal terms agreed and signed within a week , come on palace learn from others man !!

At least the interesting offers we're making for Benteke as described in the press are improving the page count.

Perhaps we can offer the exclusive use of a nearly new Nissan Micra to Jurgen Klopp's mother-in-law to seal the deal.
