30m is far to much, offer 20m and then move on don't waste the whole window chasing one player who is over priced don't pay for Liverpool mistake.

Christ you happy bunch. Yes we're not the most glamorous club no our stadium is old ect. But sometimes in football players want to play week in week out. We signed cabaye who could have gone elsewhere? I'm sure wild could have had a few other offers ? Who knows what will happen. The proposal that Cabaye signing for us, indicates a willingness on the part of other 'quality' players to do the same, is a specious one. Cabaye was very much out-of-favour at PSG and desperately wanted regular, top-division football to get the Euro call up. He knew AP and was well aware that he would be one of the first names on the team sheet at Palace. I do not recall a queue of 'big' clubs vying for his signature at the time, nor since actually.

Well he was wanted by Newcastle who some may consider a bigger club due to stadium And finances. But that was the point some players want to play. And hopefully benteke is one of them willing to sacrifice a few pennies to play every week ?

With the exception of those heading down the divisions, most want exactly the opposite, especially when there's competition for their signature.

I understand from our Flemish relatives that he's been told he needs to play regular 1st team football if he wants to rejuvenate his international career. Could be enough to convince him to 'step down' from the big clubs.
Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five! |

Fair points all round let's just see. My main point was the negative people on here, I know you can't change that but I don't understand digging at the club you love.

I am surprised by this thread. One of the things I respect is that Crystal Palace fans cannot abide cheating or diving, even amongst our own. The most disappointing part of last season (and I mean specifically disappointing by way of incident) was when Benteke dived as if he had been shot. I don't like the debate of whether he was touched by the distant fibres of Delaneys boots of not; that is irrelevant. It was a cheating dive and it broke our hearts for many days afterwards. I personally will not welcome him with welcome arms. We should, as a club, be the pioneers in cleaning up football not rewarding the cheats by the team they cheated against. That is my view.

Agree wholeheartedly with this... I don't like any player that has to cheat to get a penalty or free-kick and don't want to see this kind of player at Palace.
