Is there no rumours at all atm?

Dont really remember people calling for him to be sold, just not used at LB.
-
The important thing is how they act professionally yeah.

James Trafford: NUFC in talks with Burnley over £30m transfer (Various)

This is one transfer where I don’t mind if it drags out. Hold out for the best deal possible I’d say. -
The owners of Crystal Palace are business men. Selling him for £40-50m now instead of letting him go for free next season is good business. Unless Guehi himself wants to run down the contract Im pretty sure its going to happen.

I remember us all thinking that at the time. He came in and we beat Arsenal and Forest. But there is such a thing called coincidences. Think most of us agreed that it was just that it was after the losses to Everton and Brentford where he also started. I guess its true that we werent always the better side with Tonali instead of Longstaff, but Tonali always looked like the better player. -
Well Eddie said he wanted to take advantage of other clubs being in the position we were last year.
-
I dont think we will either, but I think we could.
-
£30m in pure profit from Longstaff and Willock may be close enough to "fund" that spend for this season atleast. Probably would need a big sale next summer though, especially if we miss out of CL.
-
Yes but our commercial revenue has also increased to counter that. In 23/24 the deficit got reduced to £11m and this season cant be that bad either since we got pure profit from a couple of sales. With extra money from CL next season its hard to understand why we wouldn't be in a good position in regards to PSR.
-
Surely not. We havent invested in 3 transfer windows and next season we are getting rid of the 22/23 season when we had a deficit of £70m.
-
Barnes still has a book value around £25m so not a lot profit to get from him.
-
Surely there are some type of players that are better against it than others though. Im thinking players with tricky feets in small spaces and a killer pass/shot. Messi being a pretty good example
-
Last game against Everton was a pretty good example wasn't it? Other than that I haven't been keeping notes. Just a general memory of us looking kinda clueless against it.

Its not that i dont want a bigger squad and a player who can open up a low block. Its just that there must be better options out there. Him not thriving at City tells me that he is not that great against a low block anyways. He also has a contract of £15m a year. We can all imagine that City will cover a big chunk of this and/or he will accept a lower wage, but nothing suggests that tbh. If we are ever going to compete with the top 6 long term we need to be financially smart in everything we do. That generally means buying younger players with their better days ahead of them. I know that Trippier and Burn were exceptions to this rule and that it turned out to be great business for us. But both were cheap and we were at a different stage. Can't see Graelish sharing their story.
