Some folk sincerely want us to sign Benteke?

just bizarre. The man is utter cack. Anyone who thinks he's good probably thought bong was a decent player too.

I think if Roy Hodgson could't get the best out of him, not many will. ... He hasn't looked Prem quality for a while now.

You what?

Hodgson the striker coach genius, you mean The one charging Harry Kane with taking corners for England?

The reason for the second part of the quote is down to Hodgson.

As [MENTION=22849]Stato[/MENTION] alludes to, Beaky needs this gamble (extending the contract to sell) to pay off to deflect away from his bungling of the Dibley situation last summer. If he finds someone to pay for Benteke he'll be called a genius by the cockwombles.

how long left on his contract?

Didn’t he sign a new one last summer or something silly?!

Yep, just checked, he did. Until end of this season coming. Can only assume CPFC2010 did it to try and get a few, hence the talk now. They’ll struggle to get much and it’s costing them 130k a week or something stupid like that #palacelogic.

He was a handful second half at Selhurst last season. He might not know where the goal is but holds it up well and is powerful in the air.
I can see Palace giving him away to get him off the payroll, I'm sure his earnings are over £100k per week.

i believe so, yeah.

i hope he stays, the most amusing bit is the disbelief on his face as he fails to slot another

Well that's settled it then. All you need from your target man. Goals are so overrated.

Alan Smith use to do it quite well for Arsenal. I'm not saying sign him for one minute due to his lack of goals but in his own way he is a handful if you play direct to his strength which isn't part of Potter's style.

Fair enough. I'm not sure anyone will be desperate enough to buy him on that basis. If he's that good in the air etc, he might just as well convert to a centre half. Its not as if the wankpuffins are overstocked in that department.

We may not create as much as you wish via the conventional route but we are 8th in the league for shots, considering we were faffing about toward the bottom for shots last year. We have come a long way, we have nothing to moan about.

If you don't shoot you don't score, is one of the most truthful sayings in football.

Can't wait for this forthcoming season.

Would I want benteke? Only if Potter does.

Our shooting, Maupay apart, is woeful. Solly the most infuriating.

Surely he's a great fit for Leeds Biesla would turn him into a 40 goal a season master striker.

This.
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.
This.
WTF some of you need a lie down far to much sun.
And this.
Didn’t he get sent off recently for an unsavoury incident and Zaha was involved too and throwing his eyes at everyone.. I know it doesn’t mean he’s an auto dickhead but still...

Weird thing with him is he’s one of the best strikers in the air in the league - hold up play and flick on wise. Just so weird he’s totally lost confidence in front of goal and has become a laughing stock by all football fans - feel for him a bit tbh.
He as also been caught three times for speeding in a year which led to a 12 month ban.
