Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Paulie]

A random thought: perhaps we be negotiating with Juve to sign Kean to a long-term contract to loan him to us for 2 years with us only making a contribution to wages and so freeing up £ for Zaha? Just trying to fit today’s random chaos into some kind of logical model...

He only has a year in his contract doesn't he?

Sorry didn't read that properly.

The whole thing doesn't make sense, why would we not include Mccarthy in any offer seeing they supposedly bid for him last week

 

[Billysgingham.]

So all hail the KING.The KING knows nothing,he changes his mind ,like my missus changes her TENNA LADY Piss pads.

Mate come on.

Back to the old days of Bill and his bids. They want £70m we offer £50m, probably £10m upfront and the rest over our first 5 years in BM.

We went 3 transfer windows without spending a penny 2010-2011 on transfers ,our record fee until 2008 fellaini was 5.7m for Barmby...So it’s really nothing like bill and his meagre transfer budgets

 

[marnie]

Mate come on.

She dosen't read this mate.I'm safe. lol

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

Buy Zaha for £80m > never lives up to price tag > Palace buy a replacement for £25m > replacement scores 20+ per season > Buy replacement for £80m
and so on and so forth until the sun dies and all life is obliterated

I seem to remember we sold all our strikers during that time as well.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Seems a lot of people favour the ‘Walsh’ style of player acquisition, offer double what they want and go up from there. Worry about balancing the books afterwards.
It really isn’t a good business technique you know.

To be fair to Walsh, his signings have brought in about 35 mill gross this window.

It’s better for them for McCarthy to not be included. They sell Zaha for slightly cheaper to us, we sell McCarthy for a low fee, they don’t have to pay as big a sell on fee.

Beattie 04/05 = £6 million
Johnson 06/07 = £8.6 million
Yakubu 07/08 = £11.5 million

But I take your point!

 

[billyblue80]

So we get kean, he scores a few then Juve are just gonna buy him back and we're back to square one. We're going to need another striker even if he does come in

If he does well for two years I will take it. Lets face it any boss forward who performs for us for two years is likely being sold anyway.

 

[matty1878]

£52m bid 'rejected' now.

Please Marcel... let's not dwell on this for longer than is strictly necessary. Can't have Crystal f'ing Palace fleecing us again here.

Well they are going to if they want more money and IF he wants to come ( which I doubt )

 

[billyblue80]

I have to say it doesn't strike me as a Brands signing unless he is banking on Zaha kicking on again with us and we sell him for a profit in two years.

If we are bidding he wants to come. That stuff is usually sounded out prior these days.
