Basically means he’s as good as signed

There’s nothing to suggest that any other club has made a legitimate financial offer to Crystal Palace…maybe it’ll get done after the weekend..

Trust in Eddie and all that, but that's a comedy set of transfers so far

Pivas is an unknown, but I'm convinced he's the next Lee/Batty/Beardsley

Osula would be getting people in a tizz if he was signed from Osasuna rather than Sheffield

Kelly is a decent PL utility defender, who would elicit more excitement if he came with a fee.

Ruddy  must surely be some coaching/PSR/Homegrown fiddle

Vlachodimos was a thank you for them buying Wood and Shelvey and a PSR fiddle

Hall is fucking mint

Quality over quantity, for the first 11 at least 😂, so Guehi, hopefully, and whoever we get for RW are all we really need to worry about for this window.

Bit of both, surely?

 

We were crying out for depth last season. Hopefully all the players we're signing for the U21s and players like Kelly, Osula and Pivas should be providing depth.

 

Buuuut we need to buy upgrades for Almiron and Lascelles. Either pushing them down the pecking order, or out of the conversation entirely. We also need to offload Dubravka, Targett, Lewis.

Well Guehi will hopefully replace Lascelles in time. He can play both sides of defence and is right footed, so it will be him and Botman as first choice, and obviously it seems to be the plan to replace Almiron if we can move some assets out. The rest it's the old story of high wages and little interest, so they'll be difficult to shift.

Honestly @LongTimeAdmirer you need to stop deleting your posts. I'm gonna have to start quote posting you EVERY TIME because you simply cannot be trusted to uphold the Toontastic Code of Conduct.

Ok, now that you've got me all hot and bothered, what's your point?

 

[Gemmill 49696]

It was @LongTimeAdmirer, she posted a very teacherly critique of your post and has now deleted It.

I'd be delighted if we could offload this lot for anything like their 'Market Value' on Transfermarkt.co.uk;

 

Almiron - €20m

Ashby - €1.2m

Dubravka - €1m

Fraser - €3m

Hayden - €1.8m

Lascelles - €7m

Lewis - €3.5m

Targett - €10m

Total €47.5m

Yeah Mitchell should get a nobel prize if he manages that. 

[The Fish 11313]

I still think we could get £10-15m+ for Almiron, double that from a Saudi club.

Lascelles should still command a good fee (£5-7.5m)

But the rest will be nominal and mostly beneficial in terms of relieving some of the wage bill.

Alternatively we've signed:

- a kid no one has heard of

- a striker no one has heard of with no goals last season

- a geriatric keeper

- a keeper who can't get a game ahead of Mats Sels 

- a player we already had

- a CB on a free who's perma crocked

If you want to view the window  (before it's closed) so negatively, then by all means knock yourself out. I'll just be up here on my high horse, looking down on you with 2 parts amusement and 1 part disdain.

Maybe we've signed a deal with Disney and Eddie is building a squad of loveable losers for next year's feelgood hit of the summer.

It's like Ted Lasso except it's Eddie for Eddie Howe and Noose because the Saudis like executing people, marra
