Agreed - the sanctimonious assumption that no one at Palace is ever guilty of something so heinous. Wilf goes down way too easily. Not always a dive but definitely going down under minimal contact. And I remember AJ going over pretty specactularly under minimal contact as well.

If anything, benteke is a proven Prem goal scorer where Michy isn't. For that I'd pay 30 mil. I think benteke would be the ideal striker for us

I remember when someone suggested Benteke last season and was laughed off the forum. Shows you how far we have come and he would absolutely suit our team down to the ground. For all that are saying no, what are the better and realistic alternatives?

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. I said it at the time and I'll say it now. Benteke made the most of it but Delaney was a fool for sliding in on his knee when he had no reason to whatsoever.
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

We're not buying a good personality either. He "dived" who gives a f***? Suarez occasionally likes to chow down on other players mid game but I'm fairly certain no one in the world would turn him down.

I think until the Batshuyai bid in excess of £30m was confirmed, no one would realistically think we would be anywhere near this. I think people might have thought we'd stretch to £15m, but £20m+?

Yeah that's my point. I'm hoping the Batshuayi palava shows our intent but my point is why are people so abject to the prospect of benteke? It's not just money but what deal we can actually do and he seems fairly realistic and I'd say definitely worth it

People saying 'no' to Benteke are utterly mental. Who on earth could we get who's better?? This is a team that had Frazier Campbell and Cameron Jerome as regular starters in recent years for Christ's sake. As for the dive... I too was upset by that, but I expect Wilf would have done the same in that situation. Liverpool fans don't hate Benteke for doing that because it was for them. We'd say the same.

Fantastic signing if it comes off, as others have said, would very much suit our style. Still remember the goal he scored at SP a couple of years ago when he punished a rare Dann error, he 'had a lot to do' as they say, but did it supremely well.

I'm dubious about this 'rumour' but obviously i'd be more than happy if he joined us.
Time to move forward together. |
