£25m today isn't even close to the £28m we spent on Rom. Rom would have been £40+ in this market.

I know, with inflation and TV money it's not that much, but in relation to the fact we're only going to have a net spend of around £15m probably, that's a lot. Put it this way, Williams is likely to have a big impact, and we hope, will contribute to a few clean sheets, and I would say, save us around 10 - 20 goals with tackles, blocks etc (I know that's a dodgy stat, but you know what I mean) - is Bolasie going to give us 10 assists, 10 goals? win us 3 - 4 matches? That's what I would call £20million worth

It was very weird. He said there was no agreement for Bolasie to leave but the way he was speaking he sounded resigned to losing him, especially suggesting that he needs to find a replacement.

But he went on to say

""Yannick is contracted here. He's a great player and a great person, I love him. We'll treat him with the utmost respect in any situation."

If, as has been widely reported, Crystal Palace have accepted a bid from Everton for Bolasie, it isn't really treating with the utmost respect by by not letting him travel up north after accepting a bid. Treating him with respect would be allowing him to travel up north to complete the move, like Swansea did with Williams, rather than making stay in London and train with the team.

Just because they've accepted a bid mate doesn't mean it's all ironed out just yet. Think the structuring of the deal will be what was being talked about today.

I think that we may well see some progress on this tomorrow (not particularly an announcement) but pretty-much some confirmation it's done, and then it'll be finalised next week.

Don't hold me to that though haha!
 

I can see this deal falling threw,if there is some kind of deal in place ie agreed fee why haven't we insisted he doesn't play Saturday in case of injury,palace fans will have a love in with him at selhurst Saturday and persuade him to stay !!

Despite what I just said, appears he may well play Saturday.

So unless there's major developments I think this will definitely drag on until next week.

BTW, if he does play Saturday, people need to keep their heads from falling off. Stones played for us on Saturday in a relatively meaningless game and two days later he'd signed for City.

£15m net spend? Where did you get that figure?

I know we shouldnt hope that footballers get serious injuries...

But...
 

Wouldn't surprise me if we pull the plug on this one if the board maybe have been able to gauge fans negative reaction towards his signing - if this forum is typical of what most fans think.

If so disgraceful really, people think we can sign carvalho witsel or Mata instead - get real they aren't coming.

Were paying way over the odds for a way overrated player imo if we go through with this.Spend wisely not dumbly.

Maybe Palace are thinking to themselves that they need to get a replacement in before they allow Bolaise to leave, makes perfect sense to me for them to do that.

Also, I don't think the Williams transfer went that smoothly, considering Swansea accepted our bid, then pulled out.
