Did you miss this bit: "The possibility of the Belgian striker leaving Crystal Palace this month, however, has not been ruled out."

Difficult one - this guy has really pi**ed me off the last few weeks, doesn't look interested, work rate poor etc, etc - that clip though shows his undoubted talent, technical ability, strong in the air, great with both feet, strong in possession and hold the front page - taking penalties and scoring them.
Maybe not the sort of player you can count on in a relegation scrap, but hey... if we start winning and confidence begins to rise, we just see the old Benteke back!!

I think the owners will look at the last transfer window and decide not to get in anyone.

Isn't it just money down the drain you wouldn't spend it if it was your own money.

I guess if it balances financially that might be different but its very risky there is no guarantee that the player will perform well.

You forgot to put in one word with his attributes and that word being LAZY, and Big Sam has seen for himself what we all see week in week out. Benteke does not chase balls or do anything that might make him sweat. Liverpool new exactly what they were doing when they sold him to us and AP fell for it.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

Pressures the defender and continues on to the goalkeeper. Scores.

"Benteke is lazy" is just the new "Wilf has no end product"

Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

That is the only time you will see him chase a ball. Normally he will stand there and wait for the ball to come to him and when it does he goes a few yards and gives up and ends up losing the ball. As I said he is lazy and it has been noticed by managers, commentators and even by our own managers and staff. I would think that is the reason he was sold by Liverpool.
