also if he doesnt want to come to us, jog on then mate to turkey...to show the total crap that comes up / how the premiership has gone mad, apparently jose fonte is wanted by man u!

Sometimes I set out for Ludlow
Sometimes I end up in Chepstow

This.

Buy Litecoin.

Surely no club can compete with Man U for this title?

Maybe it is time for Palace to play Liverpool at their own game. We need anumber of signings while Benteke would be great his purchase at this sort of price will be at the expense of at least one other purchase. Lets put an offer in for Slimani at £23 million, or £13 million for Bony and £6 million plus Jedi for Ayew. £6 million for Burke,£2 million for Dack.

Liverpool will then have to think about their position Sell and lose his costs or loan and keep part of them.

I also think that a few bodies rather than 1 marquee signing is what is required

I don't suppose for a minute that Benteke is the only iron in our fire. I would guess (and that's all we can do) that the board would buy him at the right price but not at the asking price. No matter how many times LFC say they won't accept less than they paid for him, they will accept less or keep him or loan him out.. It's their negotiating position. I suspect that some of the contributors here haven't played poker.
I'm confident we'll have alternative options on the go. I'd like to think that the reason we won't splash all our cash up front on Benteke is that we have another major signing in our sights. The story I liked was Sissoko from Newcastle plus (if the Benteke bid fails) Remy from Chelsea. AP knows them both from his time at Newcastke. Rafa has indicated he half expects Sissoko to go.
Time will tell.

They won't give a s***. We either pay what they want or it ain't gonna go through. We don't hold any cards in this deal, we're just standing there with our pants down and the Scousers laughing at our little willie. If we don't pay up they'll either do a deal elsewhere, or a loan deal, or wait until January. That's all there is to it, and Parish can blow as much steam out of arse as he likes, but it ain't gonna change a thing.
