I’d imagine the injury to riad has given them pause as well as the lack of replacements.

If Uefa go down that path, as I always like to cite psg lost 600m euro in over 3 years and no ban.

Given how openly rigged this tournament appears to be nowadays I have zero interest in it.

No Miggy hate here, but unfortunately squad places are limited and money needs to be brought in for obvious reasons. In order to go to the next level some players who we like will have to move on.

He’s on double our top earner. He’s out of our price range.

Not saying he doesn’t want to come, I’m sure he does. But he wont suffer by staying another year at palace mind. He then goes next summer for say 40m, doubles his wage at least with a release clause or runs it down and the sky’s the limit he will have suitors all over Europe if he’s free.

Supposedly he does but I’m sure he’d feel the same if one of the sky six called as well. Unless something changes which is earth shaking I’m not sure how we get past the glass ceiling of psr tbh, but that’s discussion for another thread

Why would it be? He either signs a new deal on more money with a release clause or he goes next summer to a club like Liverpool who are currently a step ahead of us.

At less than 1/3 of Guehi too.

Nah, if we don’t get him on it’s on us.

60-70m as per the athletic.

Yes and no, yes it’s important we resolved that urgent and immediate need, it’s also important to understand we’ve lost a player for 15m who id argue is worth more than that and also could be worth more in future. In addition we gained what appears to be a liability who isn’t cheap and will be difficult to shift.

Yeah I put a bit more respect on the Athletic when it comes to these matters than most publications. It kinda went from we surely wouldn’t give them 20m to we fucking did

Listening to the athletic podcast which was recorded on Monday and according to Ornstein he’s not aware of Palace responding to our 60 + 5 offer.

The athletic today in a piece about Anderson stated we paid 20m for vlad, I linked the quote in my original post.

He just keeps repeating players we have on some long list, logical links if anything. I doubt the club is telling them ought other than we wouldn’t mind a centre half.

I think it matters as Vlad isn’t free and we are paying for him but fair enough.

Yeah they are, nothing is been broken by the reporters reporting on us.

Interesting thought but I think the commitment to migrate to squad cost seems pretty set. It’s also important to remember these rules were designed by the clubs themselves, ultimately most of the owners are business people who would love nothing more to reduce cost and increase profit which is what these rules will do.

To be fair, he seems to violate the no dickhead policy which we have and I imagine all support?

IF the fee is the reported 20m we know how it reflects in our books, it’s just the fee divided by the contract length. Of course forest recognise that revenue away too.

I don’t think that’s being ignored at all. Hence my references to other clubs PSR workarounds generally being a more like for like nature. (Academy player for academy player).

Because he’s not free and we are paying his salary and amortising the supposed 20m fee. Because the clubs actions generally merit discussion hence this forums existence?

Yeah it strikes me as a bit of last minute panic we need to pick some off this list of players we don’t know much about let’s go with the guy with the best record on paper. I think we’ve shown a bit of naivety tbh, we clearly knew about our FFP issue so I’m surprised we weren’t more proactive in addressing it.

Of this list only Archer, (buy back clause) Philogene and Clarke are comparable. Of those two they haven’t played much in the premier league. Also, Vlads salary has to be offset compared to Anderson which likely means we are paying slightly more on a weekly basis.
