Fan reaction shows Benteke deal is perfect for both Liverpool and Crystal Palace

The *other* summer transfer saga is close to an end.

Paul Pogba's Manchester United move is old news now, and attention has turned to Christian Benteke. The Belgian striker has been linked with a move away from Liverpool all summer, and now it seems Crystal Palace have met the Anfield club's asking price. https://twitter.com/TonyBarretTimes/status/766333303167344641 https://twitter.com/eaamalyon/status/766337974619480064 Benteke was left out of Jurgen Klopp's squad for the 4-3 Premier League win away at Arsenal, and has looked likely to leave ever since the German took over from Brendan Rodgers last autumn. However, while things haven't quite worked out for him on Merseyside, Benteke remains a very able footballer. The phrase 'good for all parties' is thrown around a lot, but it's often untrue. In this case, however, it seems like everyone genuinely will gain something from the deal.

So for every comment like this from a Liverpool fan...

There's one from a Palace supporter like this

 

Liverpool fans are happy to have recouped the fee they paid Aston Villa for the frontman last summer.

But Palace aren't worried about having overpaid.

The Reds can put the money to good use

And as for Alan Pardew's side? They ought to be able to make up for the loss of Dwight Gayle...and then some.

See - a great deal for all concerned. And that includes the player himself.
