Are you serious?
Course it's not happening.. bloody hell tbis place is getting silly. This was reported in the sun. The same paper that literally makes shit up.. the same that made up we were willing to sell Zaha because he's going afcon.. it a load of bollocks. Since this sun article.. the journo who is well itk when it comes to Benteke said it's rubbish.. the player is more Than happy at palace.. palace have received no offer and even if one were to come in palace would reject and the player doesn't want to go to China.. this has been reiterated by ed malyon and only of a few mins ago has Been reported in the mail that benteke will reject any approach from China.. so quite frankly this thread is pointless And for those saying sell... **** me.. Last year we couldn't score for shit.. we finally get a top class striker in benteke and despite getting **** all service and feeding of scraps has scored 8 in the league for us with nearly a 1 in 2 record..so seriously what more do you actually want!? Wouldn't surprise me if they are tje ones wanking themselves over Gayle and muzza scoring in the championship... key word there.. championship. Their level. Benteke will score 15 plus this season without doubt... and could push 20.. Gayle muzza etc would never do that at this level. Once we sort our defence out and start playing with confidence he will score shit loads. All this about leading the line. He has won more Ariel duels than any striker in the league.. his hold up play is far better than any striker we have had in years.. problem is lack of support and service. If you can't see that then you are a lost cause |

If you'd told me six years ago we'd be turning down 40,000,000 bids for our players I'd have told you to go and have a lie down.

Are you kidding - the injury to his brother is the reason we are where we are in the league - the guy is a different class to any Palace player, past, present or future.
Did you see the way he disguised a through ball at Boro as an awful shot - no-one even on his wavelength to pick up what he was doing!

Guardiola today gav e the perfect response to so class sports journalists with their inane questions and focus on anything but the technical aspects of the game that are way beyond the majority of them. 50 way of the mark rumours but if just one is right then they big it up for weeks. All so moronic

I'd take it. Nothing I've seen suggests he's up for it enough for what we are going to need.

Apart from scoring more goals in 17 games than any of our strikers have done in a season Since we've been promoted.. and that's his job

But apart from the goals, what has Benteke ever done for us?

To be fair it would have worked a lot better if the other things you list had been included!

I agree with you Monk, the problem isn't so much Benteke himself, but that he's too isolated. Whilst it's true he doesn't chase every possible ball and can therefore appear less interested than some of the nippier strikers we've had, I think in the current system we're playing, the guy's probably trying to save energy for the best opportunities. He's a big bloke and unlikely to be able run around like AJ for 90 mins. Watching his efforts re Man Utd and Arsenal, their defenders swarmed him. One would jump with him whilst another one, or maybe two, would lurk nearby to grab his knock down. It's like hyenas round a buffalo! |

He was on 4 bookings for the last few games which could have led to a suspension had he picked up a 5th yellow card.
Now he starts the New Year with a clean slate and I would expect him to be more like himself being a constant thorn in the side for defenders especially in winning aerial challenges at which he is the master and offering a huge threat with his heading ability. |

I think anything above £70 million we should take it.

That would be a lot of money.... But having money and the risk of no recognised striker in our position would be certain relegation. Which would clearly cost us significantly more.
