I disagree, that amount of money should be for a striker that plays regularly and scores around 20 goals, althought a lot of players in the current market are being sold for crazy amounts of money, I do not believe £30 million or above should be paid for a striker that could not get regular first team football and could not score regularly So Harry Kane is only worth £30M in the current market?

I think you're forgetting the fact that he consistently scored goals for a pretty awful team who without him had one of the worst seasons in premier league history. Benteke is a class act and as has rightly been pointed out still scored goals under a manager who didn't sign him and clearly didn't fancy him at all in a team who play the opposite style to his strengths. A bad season happens for many circumstances besides the fact of the quality of the player - he'd be worth every single penny imo. I'm not saying that he's not a good player and I know that he was not suited to Liverpool's system. I actually think he would do well for us and the only reason I wouldn't want him at Palace is because of his dive against us last season. However, I just think that £30 million is far too much for him

It is difficult to judge a player's value's in the current market because big clubs are prepared to buy players for more than they are actually worth, but in my opinion, someone like Harry Kane is worth around £30M however I know that if someone like Real Madrid were interested in him, they would be willing to pay stupid amounts

However, I just think that £30 million is far too much for him If we are willing to pay that kinda money for Batshuayi - then Benteke is worth it. I know he kinda flopped last year so you're probably think we should pay £25 million but I don't think it works like that with a player who's proven in the premier league and got no hints about poor refuelling habits etc. We are spending money we have in the bank. This could really make a difference to our attacking edge.

Looks like they tried West Ham but got turned down. No deal is done until the ink is dry. Forget verbal agreements - they don't exist any more in this game for high-stake poker players. When this kind of thing happens I feel I want to tell the player to eff off. Does he want to join Palace or not? Or is he just a mercenary looking to squeeze another mil or two out of the negotiations? When is greed finally satisfied?

Very good points - I think its a bit of a balancing act between aqueezing more money out (yes, pure greed), waiting for a higher status club to enter thenbidding, and signing with Palace knowing he will be first name on the team sheet, and wanting to start preseason.
