JB is a good idea at little risk. Why not? He'll have his brother to encourage and coach the best out him. His presence at the club will probably get the best out of big bruv too. It is not a conspiracy - it is plain good business that's well worth the little risk - CB's happier and JB gets his big chance. If it comes off it will be great for everyone.

He was supposedly joining our development squad but I notice that he wasn't in the team this week so where is his match practice supposed to come from

the point of the original post is (I think) that the whole signing of Benteke junior is quite bizarre. Firstly, he was recommended by his brother (no kidding!!!) and then how Palace scouts felt that a struggling Belgium 2nd div striker might be good enough for the Prem is even more bizarre. Then not only does he make the bench, but he also plays tops off an unusual set of events. Pardew also says we paid a fee - initially I thought this was a free. We paid £85k to compensate his club for their development of the player who'd come through their academy.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune) |

Reading the media quotes it seems rather an odd situation as Benteke supposedly had his contract cancelled by mutual agreement before we signed him but after we did the club demanded £85,000 towards their development costs

The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years |
