![]() ![]() My first memory of Benteke was him signing for Villa and him thinking Villa was in London. So for the first year he was premium player on premium money the next two years he was premium player on good money. Suddenly there was some more football wage inflation that made the Cabaye deal look value for money. The next year Palace staff cost went up to £111m from £80m. The domestic deal with Sky and BT was increased by 70%. That was very expensive at the time as the massive TV deal was on the horizon. So excluding bonuses Cabaye three seasons at Palace cost £23.3m. His basic wage was massive chunk of the wage bill at that point. That season Palace’s wage bill was £71m including bonuses. Capology estimates before bonus Cabaye were on 85.5k a week (£4.4 m a year). He moved for a club record fee of around £10 million. I remember that cool finish for his goal against Norwich at the start of his first season. A quality midfeilder that helped bring other players into the game. In the world cup a couple of seasons before signing for Palace he started four of France's five matches. We had before that signed lots of good players but not someone with such a profile and was still in his prime. In his first interview, he mentioned that he thought we could break into the top 8. This was for me the first marquee signing of Parish Premier League era. I remember the day that he signed and I was constantly refreshing Twitter. The lack of transfer fee makes it harder to include him and Marseille isn’t the same level as PSG or Liverpool. Steve, I am very close to adding as he was a very high profile player for football hipsters, FIFA, and Football manager players. Definitely a major signing buy not marquee. He was still a player that was developing. I am not going to included Wilf Zaha and Steve Mandanda as marquee signings. Even though Palace’s current strategy of buying younger players with high resale value potential. We have changed the transfer strategy after getting a bloated wage bill and high amortisation. Could argue that this era was finished when Roy was in charge. (16) The costs skyrocketed because the players gained so much leverage and then when the marquee players faded, no one was able to fill the void.Does Benteke leaving mean the end of Parish's Marquee signing era? Back in 2015 Palace signed Cabaye, next year brought in Benteke, then the season after it was Sakho.

(14) Despite being about $45 million over the limit, the club won't lose any marquee players. (13) The list of marquee players filling key special teams spots across the country is impressive. ![]() (12) Equally, the decision to erect a marquee in the car park to cater for some corporate functions has been questioned by events organisers. (11) Many staff came prepared for a lengthy stay in the rain, setting up a marquee tent and bringing with them barbecues, umbrellas and plenty of food. (10) One entered the show next to a mock-up of a theater marquee and exited through a stage door that was part of a new, postscript installation made for the exhibition. (9) The rise of salary caps, luxury taxes and the like in professional sports has forced even comparatively wealthy franchises to lure marquee players with different kinds of incentives. (7) a marquee player (8) Most of the marquee players come from the defensive line and the defensive backfield, not the sexy positions like quarterback, running back, or wide receiver. (6) It's big for the program to have marquee players. (5) The municipality has also cleaned up and painted a storeroom which will become the competition's headquarters, along with a marquee for functions and rest areas. (4) The league had hoped that marquee players would give instant credibility to the fledgling league. ![]() (3) Both coaches will try to avoid having one player guarding the other because it would greatly reduce his team's effectiveness on offense and unnecessarily wear down both marquee players on defense. (1) Why is it that marquee players from European countries are eager to represent their country while getting Canadian players is often an onerous chore? (2) The team have invested too much in this season to trade their marquee player. ![]()
