Tsunami Posted August 9, 2024 Share Posted August 9, 2024 We can’t be paying a price that endangers say Bruno or Isak next season or possibly Gordon this window in preparation for next season. I’m sure we’re working just as hard to get some players off the book before the window closes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris L Posted August 9, 2024 Share Posted August 9, 2024 Once the transfer window closes. Don’t we have all season to bring in new sponsors? Won’t that help avoid any panic? Same with other revenue we likely increased since previous seasons? Or am I mistaking how it all works still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, though it depends on what the sponsor pays in the current football FY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Magpie Posted August 9, 2024 Share Posted August 9, 2024 North of £50m I don't want him, how much was Botman again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 35m - Botman was also younger, and is still not a full international. Guehi plays regularly for a much better international side, is PL-proven and there will be an ‘English premium’ applied. Don’t see the issue with Palace’s valuation tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to play devils advocate… Botman was a top 5 league winner with champions league experience, at a younger age. Are England really a much better international side than Holland. Guehi has only played regularly at one tournament and got in through injury’s. Botman arguably only missed out on a place in the Euro 24 squad because of injury.

Despite him having around 18 months left on his contract he's just come out of the Euros as arguably the best player in the team that reached the final and were favourites. It's still a lot, but you can totally understand it from Palace's point of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, England are a better international side - there isn’t a metric which would say that they aren’t - and Botman’s form before his season ended was bloody awful. Ligue 1 is not PL-standard.

liammc414 Posted August 9, 2024 Share Posted August 9, 2024 60m for a player of his stature and potential is more than reasonable. I get that people will recoil at the idea of him potentially being our second highest transfer but what are we actually buying here? A potential mainstay in our staring 11 for the next 5-8 years who'll blossom into one of the senior leaders and will be vital in maintaining our no dickheads culture. Some were skeptical about the Gordon and Livramento fees too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably dog whistling me with that comment, but there is no way England have a better collection of center backs than Holland do at the moment. Marc Guehi wouldn’t have been in Germany this summer if his cradle was in Amsterdam or Utrecht. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted August 9, 2024 Share Posted August 9, 2024 Normally I'd say a team doesn't get into the race if they haven't already gotten the go ahead from the player/their agent, but with Chelsea who the fuck knows. They tried to sign Olise last Summer without checking the kid actually wanted the transfer. I can see them getting involved just to try and push up the price we have to pay.
