Quids in for FSG... all that TV money and we're making a profit on transfers this window too?!

I'm still hoping there's one big deal still to come for us with either a LB (preferably) or a centre mid coming in. I'm starting to doubt it though.

Good deal selling Benteke for that money, but he'll come back to haunt us one day. I guarantee it.

In terms of whether he'll be a success at Palace I'm not so sure. They're a quick counter attacking team and a lack of mobility is benteke's problem. Perhaps Pardew plans to change their style and build the side around him. That might take time... something managers rarely get these days.

All the best to him
Surprised but delighted we got that money for him so kudos to transfer team
Would be lovely to see money spent on one last signing but I'm not holding my breath either

Surely this means we still have transfers to make this season?

Glad we've got a good fee for him. He's not a bad player, he just isn't suited to us. I've no doubt he'll score goals for Palace and prove to be valuable to them. Why he was brought in so recently after the Andy Carroll disaster I have no idea but hopefully this is a lessen to whoever the hell does our transfers

Good bit of business if true. Glad the owners stuck to their guns.

Horrific waste of money, glad to see he's gone and we got a decent fee for him. Game on.
