Palace made a £25m bid for the Liverpool striker at the start of July as boss Alan Pardew tries to add firepower to a side which ended last term as joint-third lowest scorers in the Premier League.Benteke joined Liverpool in a £32.5m move from Aston Villa last summer but started just eight games for the Reds under manager Jurgen Klopp last season. Bentekes agent told Sky Sports News HQ last week there is nothing in reports the striker is set to leave Liverpool, but McKenzie believes a move to Selhurst Park can help the Belgian get his career back on track.Crystal Palace need an out-and-out goalscorer who is fast, sharp and brings something a little bit different. Christian Benteke certainly has those attributes, footballer-turned boxer McKenzie told Sky Sports. Benteke appears to have slipped behind compatriot Divock Origi in the Liverpool pecking order I think he would be a good addition and he needs to rediscover what made him such a valuable player in the first place.A lot of it is down to man-management and Alan Pardew will always be able to get the best out of certain players. Leon McKenzie parades his International Masters title belt at Selhurst Park Pardew could perhaps get Benteke back to where he was before. It would be good move for him and hopefully Palace can get him.Palace have shown their ambition ahead of next season with the acquisitions of England international Andros Townsend, defender James Tomkins and French goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, who joined the club from Marseille. McKenzie made his Crystal Palace debut in the 1995-96 season McKenzie, who began his career at Palace, is not surprised his boyhood club are strengthening, insisting their big-money attempt to secure Bentekes services is a measure of how far the club has progressed in recent seasons.Crystal Palace are an established Premier League team now, he added.There is no yo-yo aspect involved with the club any more. They hold their own and have done so for several years now. That sort of money is now available as a result of staying in the Premier League.

ST. LOUIS -- A.J. Burnett had a special fan watching him pitch for the first time Friday night and he wanted to impress. He did. Burnett scattered seven hits for his first complete game of the year and the Philadelphia Phillies won their season-high fifth in a row, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1. "It the first time in my career my grandmother has seen me pitch," Burnett said. "It was extra special. She came up from Little Rock, Arkansas, with my mom and brother. It was awesome. She saw a good game." "Im giving her the game ball," he said. The Phillies winning streak has come on the road. They have won nine of 11 overall. "Everybody is feeding off one another and its clicking," Burnett said. "Were having fun." St. Louis has dropped three in a row after winning five straight. "Were trying real hard," said Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, who had two hits. "But were facing good pitchers. A.J. threw a good game, kept us off balance." Burnett (5-6) threw 111 pitches to earn his 24th complete game. He struck out three, walked one and hit two batters. "Complete games dont happen very often," Burnett said. "I got quick outs, groundball outs. I threw my changeup a lot. I bet I threw 20-plus tonight. It was one of the days when the hook wasnt there. Normally, we keep pounding the hook trying to get it, but the changeup was effective. That pitch helped more than anything." That was the key, Philadelphia manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He had command of three pitches and he seemed to really pound the zone," Sandberg said. "When we gave him the lead, he really held his stuff. He still had good stuff in the ninth inning. He did a lot of things to help himself win the game." That included his bat. Burnett, who came into the season as a career .110 hitter, contributed an RBI double and scored. The ball bounced on the track in front of the 400-foot mark. "With the infield in, Ive got hit it in the air, right?" Burnett said with a laugh. "I put a pretty good swing on it thought. Thats all I got, though. If that ball doesnt leave, its not going to leave at all." Marlon Byrd homered and John Mayberry Jr. added two hits and scored twice. Jimmy Rollins drove in two runs and extended his hitting streak to 14 games with two hits. Adidas Nmd Pánská.

St. Louis took a 1-0 lead in the third when Matt Carpenter was hit by a pitch with two outs and later scored on a single by Matt Holliday. The Phillies scored twice in the fifth and three more in the sixth. Mayberry, Burnett and Rollins doubled in the fifth. Burnett drove in his first run of the season and Rollins stretched his longest hitting streak since a 14-game run in 2007. "Any way I can help," Burnett said. "Whatever it takes."
