Fenham Mag Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Is it £2m plus his wages? How do loans work these days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Can't see why we would pay more for a player who is in worse form, a bit older and clearly not in a good headspace there. Surely his return should be at a discount to whatever they paid for him? Does he have a release clause in his contract with Palace like he did with us?

Bimpy474 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 SSN on right now saying we're happy to pay £13m to buy him back if promoted, but it is indeed Palace asking for a £2m loan fee that's holding it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSN didn't say that outright but that's how it just sounded to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'd pay the loan fee only if it's taken off the purchase price if we buy him. £2m for a couple of months is silly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Aye let's pua hardball them for the sake of £2m. Aye it's stupid given the amount of money in the game just pay it. I actually think they got him for an artificially low price due the release clause so don't blame them for wanting more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i suppose our argument would when they bought him off us we didn't want to sell, and now only 5 months later don't want him and expect us to pay more for a player they don't want.

He had a release clause which is the only reason they got him for the price they did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Everyone has to negotiate, I don't care about £2m but at the same time it's stupid to want the club to do whatever anyone else asks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankles Bennett Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 They want £2m loan fee and £13m on top of that to buy. Let him stay at Palace. There's no guarantee he will be able to replicate his form of last year anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The thought of Townsend and Ritchie on the wings man Rotate them both on each wing during the game as Rafa currently does with Atsu/Ritchie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no guarantee he will be able to replicate his form of last year anyway. Given that he's playing against lower league teams in a system he was doing well in 6 months ago I think he will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I think Palace will compromise. We'll probably still get promoted regardless if it doesn't go through, they'll have an unhappy player on their hands instead of potentially £13m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 If Palace want to be dicks then let them. Just keep it in mind the next time they want to loan a player from us (if they ever do). We need another winger and all things considered £15m for Townsend is great business for us at the minute. Fucking about to try and get him for £13-14m just seems like another uneccisary risk given he's our only target (the other risk being that he's our only target to begin with). If it was the start of summer I'd understand us not stumping up the cash straight away but we need to get the deal done or go into the final half of the season with Gouffran still on the wing.

Theregulars Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I mean yeh if this means a total £15m they can fuck off. Giving them a full rebate is more than enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bloody cheap with the madness going on right now. Personally i think anything for any player over £5m is nuts, the way the world is anyhoo.
