Why would highly regarded Sarr join them? Committing to a career with zero honours and very long PL losing runs.

I disagree, playing Hodgeball as a striker must be the most boring thing, Palarse create no opportunities, I am not one to stick up for a Palarse player, but if you put him in a side where he will at least get a sniff of the ball, you may see a resurgence of form.

Buy a player from Palace?
Can't see it, when was the last time we did this?

Maybe, Palace don't create chances but I don't think we're that club either, as we don't create ample opportunities. We don't play wingers anymore and largely our service to the front men has been pretty stifled. The stat for that would be the "F" column in the league table with only 4 teams scoring less than us. Our current system definitely requires strikers to do more work on their own, and I don't think "working on his own" is one of Benteke's strengths.

Agree with this, but I just wonder if we might see an upturn in form and even a glut of goals in March and April, just before his agent is due to start touting him around
At this moment though, Palace would accept £1000 and a set of kit just to get him off the books

That chart should be up in the training ground dressing room, just before we go out to do shooting drills

Could do a job. Just not sure it’s in football.
Though it would be pretty fun if Tony said "we'll give you £5m plus you'll have to pay half his wage" and then Potter helps him score 15 goals next season.
Tbh he is the type of striker the club needs and I refuse to believe he is as shit as he's been the last few years.

"Crystal Palace have placed an £8m price tag on Belgium striker Christian Benteke, 29, as the Eagles look to raise funds to buy Watford's 22-year-old Senegal forward Ismaila Sarr, rated at £40m."

You could buy 8 houses for Ben White with that and still buy a better striker with the change.
You could buy 8 houses and all 8 stationary brick buildings would be more of a goal threat than Benteke.
Don't know the man, but I get the impression that he might fail the "No dickhead" rule. Could be wrong.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, the meltdown in Croydon would be delicious!
THis . . . . he clearly needs the right kind of management/coaching and a head wobble re salary expectations . . . . If he's cheap and we can opffload a few of our old nags, could do a job.
No I think you'll find he is really that shit.
If any club does buy him then at least all the cows in the local area can sleep soundly, unworried that anyone is going to be assaulting their rear ends with a stringed instrument popularised by inbred folk from the deep South
But it's more likely that he'll stay at Palace, fleecing them for millions and not troubling the scorer's pencil sharpener. Before signing for Bournemouth.
