Just wait and get a free transfer to someone with a bonus and double the wages. Easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted Sunday at 18:39 Share Posted Sunday at 18:39 Apparently they had to play him in midfield due to injuries. Perfect replacement for Schär confirmed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted Sunday at 18:42 Share Posted Sunday at 18:42 He'll probably get a season ending injury now which will lead to Palace getting relegated and him leaving on a free. 😂 Dobby will be sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted Sunday at 20:22 Share Posted Sunday at 20:22 I wonder if like Lingard, Diego Carlos, Diaby, Maddison and perhaps even Szoboszlai we'll look back at not signing him as a bullet dodged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to recognise what difference we may have had on those players careers had they joined us. Sometimes, it's certain players, at certain clubs, at certain times. For example, if we do sign Guehi, there's a much better chance his career moves on to greater things. If he stays at Palace and they continue to have stinkers, he's going to suffer as a consequence. What's for sure is that Palace are in a much worse negotiating position now. I'm not so sure we will revisit it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted Sunday at 20:56 Share Posted Sunday at 20:56 Him still there in the summer and palace relegated would be funny as fuck. Still think thry have too much about them though. Weird how their manager has dropped of a cliff though, he looked proper naughty coming in, with 2 players or so away from a very strong xi. Olisie is a huge loss. No doubt sbout it.

I'm not so sure we will revisit it I largely agree with you and I think that people can be far too binary about players being good or bad based on how a signing works out. Often it's way more about the atmosphere/setup of the club a player goes into that decides if they are a success, rather than their innate abilities. This was why I left out players like Ekitike, though he's also doing well at Frankfurt Equally I do still feel we've been a tad lucky in some of our near misses.

SUPERTOON Posted Sunday at 21:13 Share Posted Sunday at 21:13 I just think we can do better for the price he would cost. Not a knock on the lad, he’s a very good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted Sunday at 21:19 Share Posted Sunday at 21:19 I’d still take him in January for around £40m or so. Anything higher and I’d be looking elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted Sunday at 21:27 Share Posted Sunday at 21:27 If Krafth is out long term we’ll surely look to bring a CB in in January, I’m just not sure palace will sell given there league position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they arguably have too much 'value' tied up in him in terms of their overall squad. If Riad returns from injury in December it might make sense for them to cash in and strengthen other positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted Tuesday at 18:49 Share Posted Tuesday at 18:49 (edited) Anyone think that we’ll still be interested in him January? My guess is that they would ask for 45m+ or similar? I hope we don’t waste any time on him whatsoever. One player that might be out of our reach (not impossible) depending on the competition. That’s Tomas Araujo. Not seen that many games but from what I’ve seen I really like the look of him. Would probably cost more than 45 from what I’ve read.

Checko Posted Tuesday at 19:38 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:38 Can't imagine Palace wanting to sell him in January if they're still in a relagation battle, certainly not for less that we'd offered in the summer. That said, I'd take our summer offer, divide it by his remaining contract months at the time, and offer an equivalent amount based on shorter contract, just because. So, say 65 million with 22 months of his contract remaining = 2.95 million per month. Near the end of Jan that's 5 months less on the contract so about £15 million less. £50 million offer. If they accept I'd then withdraw it and offer £45 million, then £40 etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olisie is a huge loss. No doubt sbout it. I think the quality of the league is generally really high that losing a key player makes a huge difference. Palmer is basically carrying Chelsea. It's not to say they're shit without him but take him away and suddenly they're probably mid table. See also Rodri at Man City for a higher up the table example. Overwhelming favourites for the league before they lose him for the season. Makes the job Howe did with most of our first XI out last season all the more impressive imo.

andycap Posted Tuesday at 20:02 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:02 Palace aren't in a strong position now, they shouldn't have getting greedy. Stick 30 million in take it or leave it. Or just forget the bugger and go elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still got a while on his contract, Leverkusen look to be challenging for CL places and he's played every minute of every game so far. Would take a monumental offer in January I reckon.

Chris_R Posted Tuesday at 21:04 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:04 We'll have Lascelles and Botman back soon after the window opens, our desperation from the summer has gone and Guehi has a lot less left on his contract. Can't imagine for one minute we go back in for him with any kind of big offer. Add in his deep in form too. If we do make an offer it'll be a hell of a lot less than the last one. Shoe's on the other foot this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
