No, we have some money to spend as has been reported. We’ve bid 60m for Olise and 65 for Guehi. Personally I think Tonali has made them think twice about buying from the continent as they don’t have the levels of due diligence to feel like it’s a sure thing.

Just be something with me as this feels like a hilarious conclusion. on the other side of the coin; we don’t appear to have any evidence of us even speaking with them since our last offer which wasn’t replied to. hopefully we’re for other irons in the fire because if not, the board have taken the piss out of the fans to be very frank who’ve been milked all summer.

100% and we’ve only got ourselves to blame. The price they quoted was a fuck off price to begin with yet we kept barking up the palace tree. (Embarrassed twice in one summer by palace is indeed hilarious).

Just waiting for us to loan one of the bomb squad now and go back for him in Jan.

Save that last ask for deadline day

Unless we have a replacement which I doubt we do I’d expect Eddie to veto that anyway.

Jokes aside I wouldn’t get pissed off, I do think they have a plan and as usual we want to do stuff on our terms. I’m sure the feeling from inside the club is Palace are asking for a lot and we’ve been very generous with our valuation.

Currently hunting for the old Lee Charley guide to “we tried “

The rate the transfer window thread going to be spicy that’s all I know

Still here I believe, part of our very own bomb squad.

Not sure Chelsea will play ball without some form of long term obligation.

Actually yeah, I reckon we get someone from Chelsea on loan with an obligation and go back for Guehi in January. We don’t take DCL though.

I’m with you here. We go back for Guehi in January is the conclusion I’ve come to.

Come next summer I imagine this is what he will cost aye. I reckon palace will ask 60m in January mind if they are safe.

Liverpool are definitely a team with the capacity to come in and take him, no FFP issues and they will definitely have a need for a centre half in the near future.

I think so too, but I don’t think his drops much or at all come January, when the window opens at the end of the season that’s when I expect his valuation to drop to between 40-50m.

I see a world where we get Guehi in January and get Chalobah or axel on loan with an obligation for next summer.

Hypothetical question for everyone. if in 12 months time our right centre back options are Diasasi or Chalobah and Guehi how’s everyone feeling about it ?

1 per club and 2 from PL clubs in total. Not that I expect us to loan more than one player. (Could see us doing a mutual favour for Chelsea with Chalobsh or Disaster. )

We’d need to shift 3 left backs and accommodate his huge wage. Probably not happening.

It actually might be mind. Since our takeover we tend to take a long term view of things I imagine we’d have a relatively free run at him in January and palace would also have the benefit of being pretty secure in the league by then and will also have a very clear picture of his intentions with regards to signing a new contract.

The silence does make me wonder if this is essentially left on ice until January mind.

The pl clubs choose not to close this, they had the chance and declined, it’s on the teams.

I’m sure we are looking at other targets and getting stuff sorted in parallel. You’d expect to hear something today though.
