Palace bid £31m for Benteke

[Lord Alfred]

He's shite etc

Overrated imo...

Showing ambition but he won't go there.

Maybe the ambition of the club is to make the fans THINK they're ambitious....

 

[Mallard]

they need to spend 31mil on the ground, its a shit hole

31mil on Benteke and 12mil for Tompkins when their ground is a tip is bewildering

 

[stmoo]

I got a git big spelk in my arse cheek off those wooden seats.

 

[LD19SAFC]

They are showing that they are not content with just fighting relegation and showing some ambition, fair play to them.

Correct answer.

 

[Ale taster]

I would take Benteke like. If thats the going rate then so be it.

I wouldn't and it's way too much for someone with such stinking form - and don't tell me class is permanent, we have Defoe.

 

[Paxton]

Fair play to them, if we were spending that kind of money then I think supporters would be over the moon and excited.

Think he was decent at Villa, but done absolutely nothing at Liverpool.

 

[Mowgli]

How?

Because the higher your turnover the more you are allowed to spend.

How doesn't that benefit man Utd more than us?

 

[KGC83]

They are showing that they are not content with just fighting relegation and showing some ambition, fair play to them.

Just like the ambition the mags showed last season spending nearly £100m? Spending fortunes guarantees absolutely nothing. I thought people might of clicked on by now.

Oh mamma!

It prevents rich sods coming in spending loads and buying the league surely?

 

[Mowgli]

Exactly. It stops clubs like us trying to compete. It's sole purpose is to keep the top clubs at the top.

Look at them talking about big clubs having automatic entry to the champions league. How dare Leicester compete eh

that will never happen.

 

[Botchie]

Won't be long before we see the first £100 million player.

 

[Mowgli]

that will never happen.

Doesn't change the fact that FFP is to keep the top clubs at the top though.

 

[Lord Alfred]

Think he was decent at Villa, but done absolutely nothing at Liverpool.

He also had a poor spell at Villa....14 games without a goal. He's decent enough but a bit like Lukaku, you can't rely on them turning up every game.....unplayable on their day and anonymous for several games at a time.

 

[Mallard]

It prevents Portsmouth, Leeds etc. Puts a focus on looking for talent etc. It has pros and cons

No guarantee that couldn't happen again. FFP is a farce and teams are taking it to the courts and rightly so.

 

[gipetto]

Holy fuck, who owns Palace?

Someone who has far, far less money than Short.

This happened last week
