You can't blame Liverpool for their caution, I'd want the cash up front too. Palace do have a bit of history about not paying their dues.

My understanding is that Liverpool were ok with the clauses until they saw that £2 mill was dependant on Brighton reaching the PL. :)

I'm sure the BBC said they rejected Palace's first offer of £25m so they came back with a second one of £23m.

Poor spelling.
Utterly illogical in scope.

I mean, I know they breed them dumb up there but c'mon, at least try to be funny.

I think, even if you'd just replied with a good old fashioned "Your Mum", it would have been 100% better than that.

You could just imagine Palace qualifying for the CL (yes a wild imagination) and them finding some loophole in the small print and not paying up. Maybe Pulis had a quiet word..

I wonder if it'll eventually come off?

Benteke must be wondering where it all went wrong, if the best (only?) offer he's got is from Palace.

Inevitably, this was not considered realistic on Merseyside and Liverpool want much more upfront for the Belgian to proceed with negotiations.
No shit Sherlock. Did they think they could just sneak this clause through without anyone noticing?

Sadly I guess it will.

Although the thought of the palace fans welcoming the Yanks and their massive investment only for it to be foundations made of sand, would be too fantastic for words.
