You think we only have money for one significant signing?

Actually agree about the Euros, he wasn't that good. But I've seen Palace games where he's looked streets ahead of their level. 

 

We will see how much he ends up costing. 

Expand  

 

He was solid at the euros. It's was tripps playing out of position and not left foots next to him which was the issue. Not throwing tripps under the bus either, he did really well but there was no balance at all inviting pressure in that area. Some right hospital passes played in front of him as well by players who should have been protecting him. 

 

Be a different story both of those players over on the right.

[Sibierski]

I assume Palace have leaked to Orny in hope that someone like Man Utd come in for a bid to drive up the price, as they’re in fear of just one club making a play.

[Bunk Moreland]

Brexit Eddie strikes again, going after another English player. Disgusting. Thought Mitchell was meant to stop this malarky

 

 

 

[madras]

I'm still not used to us being  seriously in for players like this.

Fingers crossed it cones off.

[GEFAFWISP]

I wonder if we'll ever buy someone not from an English club again.

Not sure it will be quite that high.

 

At a guess, I'd say in the £50 - £60 million range.

 

Really rate him as a defender though, and so if we have to, and are able to go a bit higher, totally comfortable with that too.

 

Will be tied into the kind of deal we are going to do with the right winger.

Expand  

Yeah lets see, but I agree think its worth going high here. Great player.

They're after de ligt aren't they?

[The College Dropout]

I’ll be honest- he loses too many headers for me to be a big fan. 
 

Talented player. But would prefer someone better in the air.

I guess everyone's opinion will differ, but I thought he was probably England's best player at the Euro's - he was faultless.

Expand  

 

Certainly England's best defender, and it was talked about loads at the time.

 

Had a great tournament.

Yeah, I'm not saying he was bad or anything. And my expectations for him were high.

I’ll be honest I’ve never been impressed with against us or in the Euros. Yes at the right amount maybe (£35-45m) but not seeing £60-70m player albeit I’ve not seen loads of him.

Expand  

To be fair pretty much everyone looked shit for England in the euros , I know they got to the final but that was down to the draw and scraping through against lesser teams.

I suppose mine were quite low. Especially as he was rusty in the friendlies coming into it. Thought he'd be a problem for us.

Yep, which may have led to the leak. As if it’s one club less, if there’s another out there, they’ll want them to come to the negotiating party.

Of course none of us really know what the plan is and how much money we have to spend - but my overriding point was if we're buying one player this summer that walks into the team, I'd want it to be a right winger.

 

If we get that right winger, it's all gravy! 

 

I just can't see with all the finances laid out how we're feasibly going to spend up to around the 70-100m mark this summer (Guehi + a top level right winger) without incurring some serious issues for PSR over the next few accounting periods

He was better than Stones in the euros tbf. Didn’t think either were convincing.  
 

Undoubtedly a good player. 
 

Jusg never been sold on him personally. 

[54]

Wew. Thought he was meant to be heading to Liverpool. Would be a hell of a coup if this happened.

Easy to look back through the England threads on here or even Google it.

 

Guehi was the one getting all the plaudits.

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

He's been class since his Swansea loan. Get him signed.

For whatever he’ll cost - I think we could do better.
