Supposedly CPFC want a midfielder to replace injured Doucoure.
CB Richards has replaced him and results not good.
Wonder if we will try and "do a Bayern" to CP but also offer a loan back til end of season. We could get by on PEH, Skipp, Sarr and GLC covering Biss, Bentancur and Madds. even if PEH goes I don't think we'd be too light there, it's really next season with probable European competition to contend with when a player like Wharton would see serious minutes. For the rest of this season would be best for the player to stay with Blackburn where he is already settled and playing well and bring him in for a full pre-season with the first team, seems Palace want him for the now though.
 

Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Hertha Berlin teenager Boris Lum, with Bayern Munich also tracking the midfielder.

The 16-year-old has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in Germany, with Lum training on numerous occasions with the Hertha first-team and catching the eye of scouts and coaches.

Lauded by Tagesspiegel as an ‘extremely talented’ midfielder, Lum is close to making his professional debut with Hertha, yet Tottenham might now beat the German side to the punch.

According to Bild, the north London side are interested in Lum, though Tottenham already face some stern competition for the teenager’s signature, with Bayern, Ajax and Bayer Leverkusen all in the mix.

With RB Salzburg also interested in signing Lum, the battle to recruit the 16-year-old could be an epic one in the coming months, especially if Tottenham continue to push for the teenager.

Yet with so many top European clubs with proven development track records interested in Lum, this could be one war that Tottenham might have to concede defeat in already.

Whilst the Premier League is an appealing destination for any player, Tottenham should realise by now that signing Lum will be no easy task.

With Bayern, Ajax and Salzburg interested in the midfielder, the Hertha wonderkid already has three outstanding options that could help unlock Lum’s potential to the absolute fullest.

Moreover, with Tottenham in a transitional phase, Lum might realise that it could be years before he makes his professional debut for the north London side.

As a result, the teenager might be better off either staying with Hertha or making a move to an Ajax or Salzburg, where his development could accelerate at an incredible rate.
With all the references to Anus flying around we're now being linked to someone who's name is an anagram of Loris Bum.....

I really dislike seeing talented youngsters go to Palace.
If for nothing else because you can more or less guarantee they’ll charge an insane price for them the following season, to the point where only a handful of clubs that can afford them.

It’s good for the players because they are going to get PL game time , and Palace deserve to get rewarded for the risk they are prepared to take on these young players.
 
For PSR it is the Balancesheet accounts that matter. Yes most clubs unless run by a sugar daddy run on cash flow but with PSR you have to be careful when it comes to the amortisation of transfers. The fact is Chelsea can only afford the Billion Pounds Spent because of Amortisation over 8 seasons on Transfers and the fact that Abrhamovic ensured that part of the sale value was money set aside in Escrow. If the Premier League did what they should of done this season and ruled that transfers can only be amortised over 5 years because that was the standard practice of all clubs but Chelsea in the PL it would have fucked Chelsea and probably crashed the Transfer Market because they would have needed to get what they could for Gallagher and Colwill.

I coulda sworn this actually happened..... Obv they can't rightfully backdate a rule-change tho.
