Paully Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Two weeks since the first bid and we haven't walked away - it's 100% happening! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 13 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Howe alluded to something like this in a recent interview. That at elite level the pool of players you look at is pretty small. Gordon said if NUFC could sign any player he would pick him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Puppets Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Assuming the info I’ve been told is accurate (about the financial incentive to get this done prior to the season starting), it wouldn’t surprise me if this has an ultimatum attached to it and we hear that it’s been accepted today.

Funnily, I was just looking up your earlier posts as I remembered you saying this earlier.

Nucasol Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 On 13/08/2024 at 11:33, Shadow Puppets said: Just a reminder of what I was told last week... that there is apparently some incentive for us to get this deal done prior to the season starting at a lower price than after the season starts. Something to do with Chelsea's clause. Don't know (or really care) about the specifics, but my educated guess is that they're pulling out all the stops to get this signed and sealed before kick off. The player is certainly expecting it to happen this week. Bumping this☝️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got anything more specific about this clause/incentive? Best guess is that the sell-on percentage owed to Chelsea is lower prior to the season starting.

So, assuming you're right, if this happens it's going to happen fast Yeah… I don’t know the full details of what that incentive is… but it’s something to do with Chelsea. I don’t know whether we have to have it completely signed sealed and delivered today or whether we just need to stop him starting the season at Palace for it to take effect. We’ll see I guess. My ultimatum theory could also tie in with Parish’s comments the other day about not “being given a decision to make” yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) I put him in my FF team on the basis he moves and becomes part of an elite 22/23 style NUFC defence so he better get it done. He’s a bit less than 65m at only 4.5m on that! Edited August 16 by WilliamPS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novocastrian Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 29 minutes ago, Pixelphish said: Or he's identified by everyone who matters at the club as THE one. That’s a lot of pressure on all the key decision makers, if he struggles to adapt or if he becomes just an average PL CB questions will be asked about the price tag and the knock on effect to the wider budget. Personally I would have walked away at £50m + £5m. Proof will be in the pudding I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
