Originally posted by Bangell None of those look like wise spending. Also, rumours are that Meyer is on anything up to £170,000 p/w. A player who doesn't fit our system and rarely makes the team. That was a BS rumour from the Daily Fail. Several more valid sources reported it at less than half that (£80k) one of which is close to the club & rarely gets it wrong. You could also argue that half the first team do not fit our 'system' in their natural position too. I mean, we've been playing 442 for months with (usually) no actual striker on the pitch.

Unfortunately who is known to be available and cost comes first, regardless of the result, although there is some expectancy of that I guess, unless you’re scouting is thorough and on going. Maybe it will be, or not. COYP

Originally posted by michaelpearce i was only on about his first season 17 goals, wasnt expecting a 14 goal drop,was looking at a more like 7 goal drop There is little doubt that Benteke paid back a portion of that investment in that season's goals. Since then he's been a bit of a passenger in the forward line and I'm hopeful that this was mainly down to carrying that injury and that we will see a better and more productive Benteke from here on. We will see.....what's certain is that if he is now half the player.....that's one hell of an albatross to be carrying fiscally because no one's going to take on a fifty percent version......So he'd sit out his contract.

Yeah, but people were paying out that money during far worse times. It's just true....We haven't had it so good. This is rarefied air for Palace and while we had some luck in the Championship..... it also didn't happen by accident. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.

Here's the info broken down by a nifty website concerning itself with all things football finance. [Link] 2.15 million salary plus around 500k going out to different companies he's director of along with repayment of a 6m loan, 250k interest on the loan. This is back in 2017. I imagine his salary has only gone up.
