I do wonder if some of the values being touted for players in this window bring us back to bidding for Sessegnon. What was expensive earlier in the window look like more reasonable fees now.
Happy to admit that I didn’t consider that angle, but I still think they either want to keep him (so should offer him something now, so he can decide to accept or not) or they are happy to sell at the right price (which everything points towards). If they wait until after the window and he...
I think your suspicions that this isn’t actual ITK would be right. Any of us could have written this (did one of you mad lads do it?!).
The telling thing for me is that the owners will apparently offer him a contract after the window...why wait if they want to keep him? Make him your best...
It was a tenuous link in the local Burnley paper I think (naming us as one of 6 clubs interested). Luckily we don’t have to worry about it now with two ITKs ruling it out ??
We’d all probably take one of the 3 Madrid midfielders being linked with moves away but that’s what makes this unlikely IMO. As soon as one of the 3 leaves they probably won’t let another go, not sure we’ll secure one ahead of other European clubs
It’s been a while since we’ve had any real info on replacement defenders. I really can’t see us letting Rose or Toby go without definitely replacing them. If we’re signing at least 3, I hope it’s 3 plus replacements if either go.
On a separate note, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Rose go to...
In no way, at this time, can not signing Grealish be seen as a failure. If we weren’t all so desperate for a signing this would be a very ‘meh’ moment (to steal Hercs phrase from earlier in the window).
We had ITK from both sides saying it was all but done (didn’t The Journalist say it was as...
Ok so what’s his value? It’s obviousjy subjective but comparing with other transfers, Richarlison, Mahrez, Fabinho Ronaldo even...is Zaha a £50m, £60m, £70m player based on his contract, HG, importance to Palace etc?
I think Palace could name a price anywhere from £50m plus, what do you value...
In a world where Richarlison is £50m, Zaha is probably correctly valued at £75m. I know that £60m plus signings have been ruled out but the market’s evolving and we’re going to have to pay up if we want him. Let’s get it done!
I agree those would be my top
3 generally. BUT they all offer something different, for example Lamela’s defensive work would put him ahead of Moura for certain games. I think all would get plenty of game time, and it would be fantastic to have some real threat from the bench
There’s no way we just gave Son a five year contract if there’s any chance of him having to do military service in that time IMO.
Zaha would be a great addition, hope we progress this deal.
Waiting and not waiting are not mutually exclusive, depending on the source.
As Herc said we’re not waiting for outgoings first...signings like Graelish will be done at the opportune moment (whenever that might be).
We can at the same time also be waiting to see who’s going (Toby, Moose)...
We really need to get over this sort of mindset. We’re not selling our best players...in fact it seems like every elite player we have is signing new contracts.
Yes it’s not great that Toby is going but given that he’s burned bridges and Poch allegedly wants him out this is a completely...
Poch is the biggest and best signing - the one we needed. I love this site, not sure what else I’d wait for now to donate.
£30 in the coffers and I can enjoy the rest of the summer! (y)
Agreed that I don't think it was anyone as underwhelming as Cole/Doyle/Heskey.
I see what you're saying about Pav but what I mean is was it Arshavin and another we were after on deadline day, just Arshavin or just another...this is considering Pav was in the bag and we potentially knew...
God I hope not, where was he linked, in the papers?
Yep agreed it could have been, and we were in for him, but was it Arshavin AND another, or just Arshavin?
