No angle at all. Your own words. You can have a pathetic preseason and do just as well in the league. That’s what you said.

I've actually already turned down a few huge Saudi offers myself. The amount of money they offered was crazy but no amount of money they throw at me will get me to so sign for any of their clubs
I rather stay without any club for now.

Should be compared to our direct rivals.
People worried about Saudi joining Uefa should probably be more worried about English teams joining the Saudi league at this rate
Because Liverpool had a horrendous season by their standards. To repeat that same season again would be hugely disappointing for them. Klopp would probably leave.
Proving last season wasn’t a fluke would be hugely shit for them.
The Saudi League is to bring about a European Super League, their reasoning will be it's the only way to stop the 'best' players from leaving Europe.
Contrast the hostile reaction to a LIV Golf to UEFA and big clubs silence over the Saudi 'threat'.
Bring it on I day, we have a European Super League anyway with the CL and same clubs in it and competing for it.

Of course, goes without saying.
But its usually not easy to sell above market value unless buyer is desperate.
Eze would be a 'nice to have' but not essential for Spurs, and Eze's market value is less than £50m, probably anywhere between £40m and £50m and at that level they make money (in fact doubling their money), even with a 20% sell on clause. So its a decent deal for Palace to do if they want to
That's all we are saying.
According to reports today in Italy, Saudi Arabia are going to start lobbying UEFA to get a "wildcard" spot in the CL when the new format starts in 2024.
We need Hull back in the premier league
Let's hope they get in and draw a team from Israel.
Yeah, the ESL is the endgame here. Saudi are aiming to host the WC in 2030 and need European support.
Football is so fucking broken, the money (and influence this wields) has attracted parasites and scumbags
Yeah it’s ridiculous to be honest, it’s called inflation and whether we like it or not attending football matches live is not a basic human need like say housing which has also risen massively in the same time period.
Complaining about a 20% rise from one season to the next is legitimate, complaining about how much prices have gone up in 41 years is quite frankly stupid
Or Pompey and Stoke - some mad fuck team that sees Eric Dier as a £20m player
I fully agree with you - it would be disappointing given where they’ve been.
I also agree that you can have a « pathetic » transfer window and still maintain your league performance. There’s a lot more to performance l than the transfer window.
Given the market and sell-on clause; I'd say the OG price-tag of 55m is entirely expected (Worth it? That's subjective depending on interested clubs needs.)...........
......If I'm Palace, I don't think it's worth it to sell for 40m. Even if it's his final year next year, so long as he remains fit and in form his pricetag won't drop much below that next summer and, once again, 20% of any drop off isn't even their money anyway.
As I said in my OG post....... Even at the inflated 70m pricetag; IF we're keen enough, there's ways to bring that price down in kind.
Reflects poorly on us in terms of us not being able to see the obvious, if there was a chance of Eze this summer then the horse has already well and truly bolted with Zaha going, Olise looking like going for below his market value, and us now having very publicly received a large fee.
There is no way that a club that operates in the way we do is going to prize him away right now, it is such a pointless enquiry I think it makes us look stupid.
Can’t wait for the Super league and hopefully we’re not in it, Spurs, West Ham, Villa and Everton fighting for the English title every season, sounds okay to me
Mid window?Mid-window net spend tallies.....?
You MUST be bored..... Watch the England Womens semi final or something.
Are you still thinking we should wait and see if our TW is as ambitious as our worst rivals?
We both know how this window ends….
Eze rumours are the tell tale sign. Public links to a player that we all know we aren’t ever seriously trying to sign.
The timing is just so convenient…
No real rumbles of interest or enquiries until it’s obvious he’s going to be a no go…
