If West Ham won't stump up £250,000 a week for Tevez I can't imagine them paying in excess of £48m over the term of the contract for Benteke! Quite right about the quality of the media posters on HOL are believing. And on West Ham's finances. Sullivan or Gold tried to get Liverpool to agree to selling Benteke but LFC covering £40K per week of his wages. In April everybody knew about the new tv money. Until I read a quote from Palace, Liverpool or West Ham, I remain patient, confident and trust Parish to do good deals this Summer. We've already done well this Summer spending £20mil on 3 and selling 1 for £10mil roughly and there's aims to buy 1 or 2 more, although YB moving on.

this is correct, thats the word from journos from Palace/Liverpool side that have contact with club officials (plastered over twitter). Believe West Ham are back in for him now, according to bets theres more of a chance of United sealing the Pogba deal than there is of us signing Benteke (West Ham in from 10/1 to 2/1). Someone knows something.... Or maybe the bookies know that he's going to Palace and just want to fleece a few spammers by getting them to wet their pants with a 2/1 punt. Never underestimate how crafty these bookies can be.
has resisted writing a single post on the Ross McCormack thread !!! |

How much was that debt that sent us into administration and nearly out of business? Looks like chickenfeed now.

Right on the nail there that was Kuqi the wonder signing a club record etc. I think it was 10 years money for a few games he would demand to take a penalty then kick it wide then depart for another club could be Bolton was one? Palace fans checking all day to see if this Belgian guy signs come on guys

Always gonna be difficult a club like us bidding 30m for a player. The player will think if he is worth 30m then he is too good for a club like us so he will wait for bigger clubs to come knocking

True, but odds wouldnt be slashed for no reason. We're still in pole position, i believe a fee is yet to be agreed mind

If this delay is because he still needs convincing then we should walk away. I'd be willing to bet that we've done everything at our end - fee, personal terms etc. So the stumbling block is at their end either the club or the player are stalling. I don't want anyone coming in thinking they've made a mistake before they've even kicked a ball for us.

Liverpool have accepted £15 million from Bournemouth for Jordan Ibe. Didn't see that one coming.

What doesn't stack up for me with the spammers rumour is that they are allegedly selling Valencia to finance a bid for Benteke. Problem here is that the deal for him is for a one year loan with a guaranteed purchase then for £10m. If we are to believe that LFC are holding out on our deal due to wanting 'all or most of the fee up front' then this makes the Valencia 'sale' pointless and irrelevant. I agree with those who think it's more a case of ironing out the tiny details of what is close to a £50m investment fro the club.

If we sign Benteke I will probably start playing Championship Manager again. Ward - Dann - Tomkins - Souaré Jedinak - Cabaye - McArthur Zaha - Benteke - Bolasie Would finish top six with that line-up.
...we must expand...get more pupils...so that the knowledge will spread... |
