Leaks all from Palace, they are desperate for a bidding war.

I’m not sure, my assumption would be added on as and when they are met? Maybe a provision is made I’m not sure. Looks like we’ve offered 65m for Guehi, that’s 20m per year to find I really do wonder how we will manage that.

thanks lads, I don’t follow what’s posted on socials so I appreciate the insight. I can only go by based off what’s posted here.

Match thread over reactions aside does anyone actually have any issues with Miggy outside of we need to upgrade him and in order to do so we have to move him on?

Yeah I was perplexed by Silverstone words about Needing the right partners etc. just go to PIF and ask them for a company to give a one year deal whilst you work on those long term deals. I can’t knock the adidas deal, according to reports it’s very much a revenue sharing agreement, it is gutting seeing our rivals sign much bigger deals though especially if your locked in for such a long time. In really anticipating the stadium question being answered as it will tell me all I need to know about our direction.

Can’t wait for this, hoping for a good performance from the boys.

Yeah I don’t blame, he is the best they could hope for. Chris Waugh was panting a picture of Howe being unsettled as well.

For all the nerds the thing which is worrying me is the incoming squad cost ratio rules paired with PL’s heavy handed punishments. in our last accounts or wages to turnover ratio was 80%, the problem we have though is the new rules include amortisation which for us currently stands at 86.8m salaries stand at 198m. Basically as of our last accounts are squad cost calculation is more than 100% or revenue. To comply with these rules in future we need to either increase revenue by 60m or reduce costs or player trade to get to 60m basically squad cost will put a big dent in our ambitions. PS this came to mind due to Guehi deal, if it happens I expect it will cost us 20m per year.

Waugh is on the latest athletic podcast discussing us and for some reason they have Phil Hay on (Leeds United reporter) and he’s absolutely desperate to talk us down, quite shocking like. “Asking if deep down Eddie is desperate to take the England job”

Wish someone would explain to that dipshit we can’t because of clubs like his and the stupid psr rules they back.

He has to be, truly amazing manager.

Tbh I don’t think fans have any bearing on these things, all depends on what the goal of the ownership is.

Absolutely thanks for the concise data too! I’m not even the optimistic kind of fan, I just believe we have the quality to be challenging for the top 5. We’ve lost a third choice winger who never kicked a ball for us and our 7th choice cm. im desperate for signings but i dont see our squad as weaker.

I think we can just look at the form table since Eddie took over, we are bonafide contenders and have been for awhile now. I think our style of play with a less congested fixture schedule will really shine again. im sure we all remember how rocky we were in December and January last season, i dont expect a repeat of that.

Yes, challenging for top 5 is what we will do this season imo. What happened last season was an absolute freak occurrence and then we were still just pipped to Europe because City went on the piss instead of actually trying to win the FA cup. don’t get me wrong I’ll be gutted if we don’t sign anyone else but I Eddie is a magician and if you look at the spine of our team it’s really elite and befitting that.

We will be challenging for top 5 at minimum imo. It we stay injury free will qualify for the CL.

The history of the clubs aren’t particularly relevant imo, it’s more the make up of the owners involved. Ultimately just surviving in the premier league is very profitable. Who really has the ambition and financial clout to challenge the top? Might as well accept our place and ride the gravy train.

We will know soon enough thankfully, for me we simply have to have a new stadium, the location seems to be of upmost importance to the fans hence the current site talk.

Darlo or Gateshead. Capacity will definitely be reduced either way if they decide to build in place from scratch.

Anyone, it doesn’t actually matter it’s temporary. Short term pain and all that.

Astro is an overseas broadcaster.

Iirc Atlanta are due a piece of the pie from any sale as well.

He’s never stood out to me, when I’ve seen him. Again I don’t think he’s bad but I don’t think he’s elite or has the potential to be so. I’m not sure what hype has to do with it mind, I’m one of the first to say I think Guehi is too expensive for us. I see this one of two ways personally from a FFP squad building composition. 1: your going high for a Guehi type (if not better, your basically dislodging Schar and are willing to pay the premium to do so. 2: your happy with Schar for this season and are looking for a player to come in with high ceiling to learn this season and really compete next season (think Tino, think Hall and think Gordon). This is how I think about it.

Fair enough, yes he will improve from average to good. I want Eddie spending time coaching players from good to excellent though. As mentioned, if I’m holding us to our stated ambitions we need to aim higher than Chelsea’s fourth choice right centre back.

You believe he’s good enough to be our starting centre half with the ambitions we have? Fair play if so.
