Let's get September done, see where we are with transfers and the first few results, then it'll be decision time. If we don't have some decent points in the bag after some of these supposedly 'easier' games then Pardew will be under pressure. Very frustrating window so far, and Saturday was not good.

Which apparently makes £23M + £7M for a very average striker totally unacceptable rofl.

The world's gone mad.

The £7M would never materialise or be payable.

Says who?

All I've seen is speculation from supporter sites for the same fans that were bemoaning spending exactly same amount of money when he had 2 average seasons as opposed to now 3.

Whilst we desperately need a striker I don't want to see my club fleeced. Time to look elsewhere IMO.

Says me.

You going to qualify for europe, win FA cup and Benteke score more than 20 goals? Those will be the sort of terms of the add ons, and they won't happen. Good luck in your striker search. You're going to need it.

Ahh, so I'll take that as a "No, we don't know the full details of the offer and are just speculating" as per just about every transfer made in recent memory.

The idea of a 'Money back guarantee' for a flop just doesn't fly. We're not an Argos.

The extra cash relied on Palace reaching the Champions League in a season which also saw Benteke play 70 per cent of their matches and scored at least 20 goals.

I think he will do very well for you. He just wasn't a good fit for us at the moment.

He's a model pro too.

tumbleweed ....waiting for a couple of strikers, please. Anytime. Zzzzzz.
Benteke and Remy... lick

Have to say Palace are looking strong...! Benteke and Remy will score goals, Townsend and Tomkins are very good signings and still the possibly of signing Jack Wilshire!!! Pardew is putting together what looks like a very strong 1st team.
