Christian Benteke (Chelsea/Crystal Palace/Sunderland)

I'd rather spoon my eyes out. Also, as others have said, we have Mane who actually does stuff on the pitch.

True though. But Bolasie is hardly the worst wide player in the league.

for 28 f**king million !!

Bolasie.. 28mil.. Everton.. yes, all in the same sentence!!

Bonkers. He's strong and fast but not sure he's 28mill quality.  Things really have gone up a notch this summer

True though. But Bolasie is hardly the worst wide player in the league.

Not saying he's the worst in the league but he's worth nothing like the money that is being paid for him whilst Benteke actually scores goals. They're worth nowhere near the same and Bolasie wouldn't add a great deal to our team at all.

Expecting Big Ben to be a Palace player by next matchday a Bolasie is currently having his medical at the Bitters

Was thinking the same thing, they'll be back in for him in the next couple of days i'll bet

If we don't sell him then I won't have any problems. Obviously he won't get much game time but he isn't a distraction at the club like Balotelli is. I'd love to see him go somewhere though for the sake of his own career.

Benteke is good striker, i do not see why Klopp do not develop him

Benteke is the opposite of what Klopp looks for in a striker.

Because he isn't what Klopp wants in his team. There are a lot of good players around that aren't what Klopp is looking for.

Would really be surprised if they are in for Benteke. Could see him being loaned to West Brom, or back to Villa (might not be willing to go to a Championship side) or a team of that stature.

If we do sell, can't expect recoup even half of the cost we paid for him, but keeping him even on the wage book is throwing bad money after bad money.

But we can probably sell him for around 10 million. He seemed to maintain a decent attitude in the face of adversity (his comments while away with Belgium were not really that bad), so it's not as if nobody would want him. But we just blew it with the price we paid, and getting something close to that for a resale is not realistic.

Benteke can get 20+  goals in a season   ,  if  he is in a team which plays to his strength

I believe we will get   more  than 25million

just hope we don't sell him on the last day and not give Jürgen the chance to use the money that will look very bad for FSG.

Apparently, Palace are looking to spend their cash from Bolasie on Sissoko. That's 2 £30m players they are targeting..

£25m rejected - I know, let's offer less guaranteed.

Get a grip of yourself Palace! They offered 31m for Batshuayi and they've just been given another £25m, do they really think we'd accept 23m up front?

I'm sure Clint Dempsey would still be available.

Just take a 8 mil loss and sell it, rather than him getting injured and we end up selling him for 10 mil pounds.

Playing hard ball and holding out for the £32.5m BR paid for him, somebody is 100% certain that Palace want him.

It's not only want, it's need. They badly need a striker and they have very limited options.

Has the smack of "what are they smoking over there". Pearce showing just what a mouth piece of the club he is, great for first hand information but also going to struggle getting that hand out of his arse.

£23m plus a possible £7m add on, How much wages is he on a year??....re we going to keep him until either he leaves on a free or we get less than £10m for him??.... FFS, sell him already and re- invest the money on a LB
