I hope we don't get him. It will enforce the narrative we had right after the take over that we were a rich club that would spend like Chelsea. Paying £70M could force some sales of some great players too.  We should have focused on RW and offered cash for Madueke weeks ago. He would make use better than Guehi for 24/25.  After Madueke we would have looked into a younger replacement for Schar that could take a year to get comfortable.  My guess is that we have made a final offer that is way over any reasonable value and Palace can take it or leave it.  We are trying to build like Chelsea and Man U a couple of years ago. That didn't work out for them.

The problem with these scenarios is they assume other clubs and players will go along with it.

 

Madueke appears to be in Chelsea’s plans, there’s no indication Chelsea would sell or that the player would agree to come. Same with Chiesa chat, would he have agreed to join a team not in the CL? Perhaps not.

Surely we won’t buy him if it’s going to force us to sell people. 

 

This is also literally the only signing that fits the narrative you mention there. Before now we've signed young or undervalued players almost exclusively.
