2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[MikeH72]

But they barely lose any money they always recoup

They buy lots of players for way, way over their value. They also appoint a lot of wrong managers.

 

[BlueToff]

Why we let him go I will never know….

cause we were skint

and Arteta hung around the fax machine making sure the contract went through in time...

 

[MikeH72]

Kepa is the big one. Not much lost on Warner at all. Lukaku good year in Italy solid transfer next year after the loan.

And yet they’ve all be absolutely crap for Chelsea

 

[PhilRegan]

They've literally loaned back Lukaku to Inter this summer and just sold Werner for £20m less than they signed him for ffs

Lukaku will always demand a big fee. If you work the werner transfer out its not a bad re coup of the coarse of the contract really.

They've lost £20m on Werner

They will lose at least £40m on Lukaku, not including his wages... and that's been conservative

None of them are bad players, and neither is Gordon, but they've just spent £62m on Cucurella 2 years after signing Chilwell for huge money too

Separate points but yes I guess they do.

Compelling argument

of
course

 

[PhilRegan]

Yes but they will command a lot of money back for them something we can't do.

 

[Librarian]

The moneyball nerds think they can replace our two best players from last season by adding up the goals and assists off Wikipedia.

Sorry Jonah’s, it’s not baseball, it’s a fully interactive team game

They haven't, no club shells out the full amount of money straight away, not a bad recoup really.

That's academic as we don't know any of that yet.

Cucurella remains to be seen I agree quite high. I guess that's what clubs do when they want to challenge.

 

[ToffeeTim]

They spent a world-record fee on Kepa, £47m on Werner and £97.5m on Lukaku

I don't think Gordon's a bad player at all, but £50m is a mad offer if it comes.

Financial "Fair" Play

No consequences for them of poor recruitment. Just chuck a few more darts at the board.

Farce.

 

[davek]

For once I think I maybe agree with you haha.

I dont buy that story from the Mirror. And I've seen this play before from the club

If we do get 50m then its a big fee though. I'm very sad he might leave and replacing him worries me a lot, but I see both sides of the argument.... if the fee increases.

It's a lie.

Of course they don’t shell it out straight away but they will still have to pay it to Leipzig over the course of the contract or when the contract was terminated mate. It doesn’t just disappear

That Diaz goal: Sky going mad on it. But those Palace players had half a dozen chances to get a challenge in on him but backed off.
