Cause this is exactly the right moment to do it?

We as a club would have been much better off in long term if we could have managed to actually move on Alli and Eriksen for combined of 160-200 mEUR instead of getting combined 30 mil for them.

With Romero it is the same. Been moody and inconsistent. Not signing a new deal and thinks he is so much better than he ever has been for us.
Big clubs (that are not owned by sugar-daddies) move on the players and reinvest it. Instead of desperately clinging on to them. And so should we. For 60-70 million EUR we could get a player that would be bothered to really turn up for more than 5 or 6 games per season.
 
The palace situation is interesting,

At the minute 3 of their players are being linked away

Wharton to Spurs
Eze to the goons
Mateta to Liverpool..

There’s no way they sell all 3. In fact I’d say they prob only sell one!


IF we came in big swinging dick for Wharton and offered 75/80 they might except and it would fuck the other moves from happening..

A possible danger for Palace though is that, if they sold one of either Wharton or Mateta first with a view to keeping the other and Eze for next season, they'd be screwed if Eze's release clause was subsequently triggered. In that sense, Woolwich—assuming they are Eze's preferred destination—have Palace and any team/s interested in Wharton or Mateta by the balls.

Very easy to do with hindsight, however lets be honest had Eriksen or Dele been sold for big money there would have been pitch forks on the highroad!

I'm not sure about the dynamics with this though. I would think that if CP did sell one of Wharton or Mateta, the the filth tried to play silly buggers by leaving triggering the clause until the last minute, Palace could then possibly revert to the original payment terms and demand the whole sum up front, which I doubt the filth could afford to do.

Parrish is no mug. If the filth try to screw them over, I'm sure he'd slap them right back with that.

You're projecting what you want to happen, not what will happen.

PSG aren't chasing Romero, no-one is so everything else is irrelevant, until an actual solid concrete offer comes in for him all this talk is moot.

We were forced to do that with Bale and Modric. I'm not convinced we were in a better position after that. Wouldn't we have had a better 2016 with those two still around?
 
View from the lane's Forest correspondent says some interesting stuff about the Morgan Gibbs-White situation, worth a listen. As does the ex-Brentford correspondent about Frank and his philosophy of the game/squad/player development
