Don’t think Bayern want to sell him yet.

Thought Olise was nailed on to go to Bayern?

Either way he isn't coming here

[SUPERTOON]

Delay in the Olise deal apparently, Palace want the full fee upfront, Bayern can’t afford to do that.

I thought it was done deal

We'll give them £45m + Emil Krafth

 

Seems to be the way of the window.

We aren't getting Olise but we are serious about a RW.

Well we're selling all of them so we won't really have a choice.

That was the PSR window, save that for next June.

Miggy is about to turn 30, and is on £60,000 a week with us.

 

Could probably negotiate at least £100,000 a week to go out there.

 

Would be really good financially for him as he goes into his 30s now.

 

Do a few years and maybe return to Paraguay for a swansong.

 

A few people talk about this like it's some sort of purgatory to be going to Saudi, but at worst it's an option he wouldn't have otherwise. Which other clubs are interested in paying him any sort of big money?

A great point. He'd either been earning less money or sitting as our 3rd choice without the Saudi option.

Rather have 60k a week and not go to Saudi than 200k and work there.

I read somewhere that Palace had a really elaborate thing setup.

 

Apparently the clause being agreed to/met only then granted permission to speak to Olise, with other additional fees then coming into place afterwards that made the deal more expensive.

Well that's the point. It's only an option, he can always not go and carry on earning 60k to sit on the bench. I don't think anyone else is going to come in and pay him 200k.

What for 3 years and set yourself up for life? Then live wherever you like.

Yeah, it's a great late career opportunity to make some serious money, and then head on back home after.

 

I also imagine he'll get some fanfare coming from Newcastle, as I imagine we get a lot of publicity over there.

200k a week tax free or getting hassled by fans at a club that doesn't want you on 60k - tough choice.

Everyone on social media is a wannabe influencer now. That Magpiemedia account even has the classic "DM for enquiries". Bro got 4k followers, what kind of enquiries is he expecting?

You never know like maybe ashworth tried to get Wilson, Trippier, and miggy out the door in January but Edwardo put a block on them going. Could be why he didn't get along with Eddie. Just an opinion probably wrong like.

Well if we're playing fantasy hypotheticals maybe Eddie was OK with selling them, but devious Dan was already working for Man Utd and blocked their sale knowing the clag it would put us in, whilst he was tending to his garden

There’s definitely been some bad blood. If that is what has gone down, then in hindsight you can see why Ashworth would want to do that. None of those 3 offered anything for the rest of the season and we’ve had to sell two young prospects as a result of not shifting them.

I think 60K a week is probably enough to do that, but I get what you are saying.

And he's have made at least 2 or 3mill just on signing for us.
