Summer Transfer Window 2019

[COYBL25]

One Cuco, too

Let’s not push our luck too far

So if we value Mcarthy at 8-10m and Tosun at say 12-15m that makes it 70 plus?

 

[hktoffee]

These guys

McCarthy £8m, Tosun £17m + £55m = £80m

Deal done.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Has Kirkbride nipped it in the bud yet?

If not, his standards are slipping. It's been 15 minutes almost.

 

[billyblue80]

Dunno mate. Folk say that we dont bid big without some nod from the player/agent that its worth while to do so. Just dont see why Zaha would encourage a move here when he could most likely be Chelsea bound next summer.

Maybe he just wants out thiss summer and will accept us as there is no other choice it's still a step up for him, he could always move again in a few years.

Job lot. All of our dead wood to Palace

If only it were that simple. Can you imagine their contracts guru if we exchanged 6 players. He/She would lose their mind!

 

[james2805]

Can see it being accepted and Tosun refusing to go or failing to agree a contract Palace side. Doesn't seem to actually want to leave IMO

 

[Barnfred 55]

If they still refuse to do business now, I'd threaten them to throw Mirallas in also.

I wonder if anybody has asked McCarthy and Tosun about this first?

Knowing our luck Palace will say Yes OK, and then Tosun says Crystal who?

This time next week were all gonna be sat in our bills flicking our bean when we have announced zaha kean some CDM and zouma

 

[Tin-Tin]

Why are we bidding then?We wouldn't make a public bid without some encouragement.

Agree, he's not 20 now and only has about 5-6 years left in his career. Try and make the most of it and go home at 33 to enjoy the rest of your life.

True. Lets face it, football transfers make little sense to normal people.

£55m plus those two is effectively just £55m in my eyes, because we’d probably only end up loaning them out anyway. Only this way we lose their full wages for good too. If there’s any truth in it I’d somehow end up being happier about this deal than I would if they’d accepted the first bid.

 

[MACCA75]

Throw in Niasse, Besic, Bolasie. And they can have Goodison soon as well. And the 1995 Charity Shield.

 

[brieverton]

It's not the fee for Zaha I find perplexing it's how we are meant to find the cash for at least three, if not four others that Silva has said as recently as the weekend that we need.

I don't doubt something is going on, but this "second bid" to me seems to be signalling to other clubs that yes, we do have money, but we"ll take it elsewhere unless you deal.

We can use Zaha for other purposes just as much as Palace can use us in their game.

McCarthy £8m, Tosun £17m + £55m = £80m

Deal done.

Ive seen reports that we value Tosun at 20m and McCarthy at 10m.

So this, if true, which I doubt, would certainly match Zahas 80m.

Wages wise we would break even, we would even make an "accounting" profit on the book prices.

I see no negative in this deal, other than the fact its complete rubbish.
