I can see how long term it could hurt us - every club will call our bluff.  But we’ll see. 

Imagine spending weeks/months negotiating a deal only to pay the asking price days before the deadline.

How close to the deal is your source ?

Close to the player.

Cos he's still playing in the wrong shirt

Perhaps.  I’m also aware that it would cost him money to do that, too.

It's made Eales and Mitchell look like a right bag of spoons so far. I'm not bothered by Guehi, I'd have walked as soon as Palace started pissing about and asking for anything over £50m, while Parish talked his bollocks publicly. If we don't already have alternatives lined up to go for prior to deadline day then we've been no better than we used to under Ashley as far as transfers are concerned for this window... bit embarrassing really for the Saudis and their project imo.

 

 

 

 

The price has already gone way beyond what I think he's worth

 

Even if the deal ends up happening I'm not sure he'll ever reach a level to make it a really successful signing

 

Ultimately at this stage for it to just be an acceptable window we need a CB, for it to be a good window we need both a CB and RW

Do all contracts have loyalty bonuses in them?

[TRon]

Given how disjointed our football has looked since the halcyon days of CL qualification, I can understand the need to shore up the defence. We might be able to work out our problems getting the ball from back to front, but at least if we aren't conceding that still gives us a good shot of winning games despite not performing particularly well.

I’d always read that they were pretty much standard clauses.  If not, apologies to Guehi

He is missing out by not moving. If he’s on a 65m fee his wage is going to be big. By staying at CP he probably misses out on millions and millions.

The back line has looked shaky for some time and that nervousness impacts all of our play - completely agree

Was on open question really. They’re actually quite rare at lower levels but I guess it’s a bit different the higher up you go.

9%, unless they put in a transfer request.

 

(This needs to go in this ridiculous modern era).

Yep, likely true enough

For EVERY player at every club? Where’s that from?

Likely one of the reasons we want him so bad...

If Palace have told him we have bid, he's going to report it.

 

Pretty sure we did the same with Minteh and Romano, and have tried doing the same with Ben Jacobs and Miggy.

When he drops a story about advanced negotiations it usually means it’s mostly done. He’s had a mare all summer when it comes to us. He’s released a story without checking on the other side how far it was along. The answer was not far at all if he’s done his work.

 

It’s about credibility. We fucking hound Romano for that one faux pas on Joao Pedro.. yet Ornstein has had several over the course of 2 months.

Might be an idea though - he loses some loyalty bonus, we agree a contract and then that we'll pay his lost loyalty bonus on top of that.

 

Palace save some money from loyalty bonus recoup.

 

The extra money Palace get isn't a transfer fee so Chelsea don't get their cut.

 

Would seem a sensible way of getting Palace a tiny bit more cash at the expense of Chelsea. Probably a pretty tiny amount relatively speaking but still... fuck you Chelsea.

Didn’t Ornstein break the story - and then the usual lot followed in behind pretending that they knew something?

I don't think we have the funds needed to outgun our rivals going forward anyway. We can just about put together a first 11 which can give the cartel clubs a good scrap, but once we get down to the subs it starts to go downhill quite fast.

[Heron]

Gone to Liverpool £60m plus add ons.

 

 

Un-fucking-believable.

Aye, that’s what having half the turnover will do - our first choice XI is a match for all except the top three for me.  But our back-ups … yeah, not so much.  Some of them would struggle to get run outs for bottom six sides.

 

Keeping as many as possible fit and available is key this season.
