But with Palace looking at other options, is a bid on the cheap for Benteke a bad idea?
With him being a target to allow Gerry, Kev and Diamond to run off him..
Sure we can Tekkers him for£20m
Said this before....

No chance of getting him for £20m.
You could try for Borini at that price

Do you think Lukaku going is pretty much guaranteed then?
I'm not sure Benteke works hard enough for a Koeman style team. This is also why Klopp doesn't fancy him.

If you think Benteke isn't a hard worker then I'm not sure how Lukaku makes you think he puts a shift in?
Not sure if he is on the way out, but my personal opinion looking at us yesterday is that a cut price deal for Tekkers is a good option. Koeman likes the big man up top

What makes you think that he would be available for a reduced fee?

I'd take him over Kone, but I'd be disappointed if he was our main striker.

Why not?
Carroll left for less than he cost, Sure Koeman will Tekkers him off your hands

There is no way we'd get him for £20m as Palace already came in for £32m and are Liverpool desperate to sell him? Is he desperate to leave?
I think Liverpool hold all the cards, personally I don't think he's worth £20m anyway, I would only bid upto a max. of £15m, although yes he is better than Kone, but is so next door's dog!

The only bargain so far this season has been Wanyama, every team is paying way over the odds. The Benteke who played for Villa is worth £30m, the one playing for Liverpool is probably worth the same due to the inflated market.

I think our signing from Villa could turn out inspired.
Taking him for less than he signed for when he went to Villa???!!! Early days but with a few more games he could be a steal
