It remains a mystery why his contract was extended, he's done nothing since and we don't need the cover. It was a poor decision to extend, but I can see why SP/DF did it. But in fairness, he was the starting striker across the back half of that season. Scored a couple of goals and looked like he was getting his mojo back. Like all of us, hoping he might get back to Villa Benteke. And the fact that its not easy to replace a striker.

Also, when compared to the rest of our strike force last season, his minutes per goal is only bettered by Zaha and if you exclude Zaha's penalties and focus just on goals in open play/other set pieces, it is the best. Finally, if we look at central strikers in the other PL teams (excluding the Big Six because we don't have their kind of money to splash out on strikers) the only three central strikers that would interest me from the the rest are Vardy (who won't go on much longer), Watkins who is too expensive, and Toney who we were stupid not to pick up when we had the chance when he was playing for Peterborough. Edited by doombear (10 Jun 2022 1.42pm) Okay, that's fair enough. Happy to agree to disagree.

Firstly, these websites often only update when they know a new number - a lot of Palace players were on older versions before renewals because the new ££ wasn't published (Macca, Luka and VG spring to mind - may have been updated now). If he was offered less he could have left on a free - yes. But, we were in covid so wages were falling, he is settled in London, his last 5 years have been awful and he is now the wrong side of 30. IMHO essentially he wasn't offered a better alternative. Agents ensure you get a signing on fee for contract renewals so the need to move is reduced and has been for many years now. I strongly suspect his wage is still very healthy, but i also think there is a greater element linked to games played and goals scored. Maybe £80k a week and £40k linked to appearances and goals. Based on last season he probably got nearer £90k to £100k per week.

Whether Benteke is on 120 / 100 / 80 / 50 or 30 or 5k a week, that sum is still far too much for a player who has done nothing for four seasons, excepting a late run last season when, surprise surprise, his contract was due to expire. And at the end of the season under a manager who was leaving and games were winding down. Edited by southnorwoodhill (13 Jun 2022 10.23am)
