I like and respect Dier for all of his years of service. But this was too funny not to share.

This account always used to be a joke but was surprisingly reliable this window.
Poch needs to calm down with the Chelsea love-in.
If you interpret the whole thing as Poch doing an Andy-Kaufman-style performance piece while deliberately sabotaging Chelsea as a whole, it all becomes more palatable (and actually makes more sense).
He might be making £100k pw tops at Palace with his new contract, so zero need to double it.
And I'd expect him to have a release clause in his new contract (otherwise his agent has tied him to Palace for life) and no point in agreeing a big release clause as he's similarly stuck for life (he's 25 now)
On behalf of EVERYONE at TFC thankyou Mr Levy for the transfers you have done.

This is how quickly you can turn the direction of a club around when the Owner, Director, Scouting department and Manager are all working together..
TBH, smacks of Zaha to me. Happy to be a handsomely paid big fish in a little pond. He had the opportunity to have leverage to get a transfer, either this window or next, and handed it in by signing a new longterm deal.
Palace have got a track record of slapping on the golden handcuffs. Contract was only extended to 2027 so I'd be surprised if there was a no release clause. Way more expensive than Gallagher now (not that I want him).
On the books he is worth 9m. Surely someone is daft enough to take him
Yeah that’s the issue.
I could see 30 maybe even 35 but they’ll want 50.
UNLESS they’re really fucked!
Depends on the release clause - in his shoes I'd have insisted on say £50m or even £45m to 'stabilise' his value at his pre-contract value (contract had 18 months left when he signed new one) so as to say to Palace 'I'm not forcing you to sell now but you are not stopping me from leaving at a fair price - and you only paid < £20m for me, so £45m or so is a fair price'
Going, it’s gone. Bayern win 11 in a row.
More fool him if he's signed without an affordable release clause
Stuck at Palace for life (25 now so contract to 2027 takes him to 29 ish), no european football etc.
Man United of the 90s. The only big domestic club that sweep up all their rivals best players.
I've said it before, but had Chavs and Shitty not won the lotto, I firmly believe United would still be that team.
Why would a player be so altruistic? More often than not, good players available on low fees get larger signing bonuses on their new contracts. Conversely, any minimum buyout could provide a potential stumbling block. Perhaps City likes him, but not £50M, so he ends up at Spam who are the only club that meets his fee.
This concept that players "owe" anything to their existing clubs is bizarre to me, and, thankfully, increasingly out of fashion. They have a contract to play football for a club, that's all they owe to a club.
I'd have Eze if he'd come, but I still think he's more likely than not the new Zaha.
I have always, ALWAYS said I will praise Daniel Levy and the powers that be when it is merited.I think it's time for an apology, once again you doubted the great man but as per usual, King Levy has pulled through yet again!
You all called threw your go karts out the stadium, you all wet your beds, smashed your keyboards like cats
Attended your online protests in your masses BUT you didn't BELIEVE
Trust in the man, the myth, the legend - Daniel Philip Levy!
Can we please have an apology to the great man, the man who is responsible for the club we are today, the man who is
And all you lot can get it to

No need to reply to me, just fill the form out and submit it to me, you will remain anonymous, thank you.
Unfortunately, it has not been warranted very much in recent times, but of course, I am delighted we have managed to get a signing in an absolute priority position done relatively early in the window.
I know your post is somewhat tongue in cheek, but let’s not get too over excited or start mutually climaxing over Levy just yet.
It’s a 25 million signing in a position that we simply HAD to get a player in. There was virtually no wriggle room.
Let’s hope he proves to be a good player for us and he’s ready for the game this weekend.
