But then some folk have been judging Tonali as not sharp enough on under 90 mins of preseason football in our colours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that last year by accruing their costs as onerous contracts. If we manage to get them off the books before the end of their contract then the accrual will reverse so we’d see an in year benefit to net off the accrual.

Rich Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Aye, @toontownman. I always had us getting four players this summer for the reasons you've outlined. I just thought they'd be a left-back, two midfielders, and a winger. I've got our squads looking like this, currently, pending Livramento coming in. You'd imagine Manquillo is off, so that's pretty much just a straight swap in the CL squad, and as you say he doesn't impact the PL squad due to his age: Think Gillespie is guaranteed not to be registered for the CL if the other three keepers all stay fit, with the other place being between Krafth and Ritchie due to Dummett's status as "trained at club". If we do manage to sign a centre-back as well, Krafth and Ritchie might both miss out. Again, unless there are other long-term injuries to worry about. (Green = trained at club, yellow = trained in nation, red = non-home-grown for CL) I still can't get away from us looking a bit light on the wings quality-wise and I'm still not convinced about the left-back slot, but in Eddie we trust and all that.

Chelsea get to develop a player for themselves or slap an extra £25m on him. Palace get a player they otherwise wouldn’t have a chance to. Chelsea don’t strengthen any rivals.

andycap Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Geogaddi said: Don't understand why we don't just pay up the contracts and release them? Gets the wages of the books which helps with FFP. By paying up the contracts you would still be paying the wages that they're owed still. So no benefit at all might aswell send out on loan or give them away so no fee is involved but they can pay the wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which given Palace seem to be a club that develop then sell young players, seems counter productive to their own aims. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ball he's very similar to Schar, but his awareness and intelligence in duels is more like Botman. If we want a player who can immediately come in to offer a similar skill set to Schar he's ideal. Edited August 4, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only think of Atsu, Dubravka and Targett the last 6 years. We signed Willock but don't think that had an option, we just went and signed him.

The reason I mentioned that is because there was that tweet saying loans are something we are looking at the rest of the window, and even from the beginning of the summer that was being mentioned. Think it allows us to defer payment for a year which probably gives us some more wiggle room financially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
