Bouanotte been linked for a while. Could sign then let brighton have on loan for a season.
I don't think the release clause matters now.
Nobody is paying it, clearly not.
You don't have to pay the release clause if the selling club is willing to accept a different amount(whether higher or lower)
Palace probably want ut done so they can invest in good time before the window shuts.
What a surprise.
I know, Frank clearly considers Davies as fit for purpose as a left back in 2025 as much as I wish he wouldn't.
He's the gaffer, so it goes.
If we spend to adequate levels and his choices of which players to prioritize and trust causes failure, well, we have entered a new space where the finger of blame can be rationally pointed somewhere other than Levy.
Ha haRichard Arlison I shoulda known
Known what?
Chelsea are absolute nutters in the transfer market. Simons deal agreed apparantley.
They are in the hat for CL next season IMO.

Oh eat shit Darren
Eze's head getting turned to us after Madders' injury probably isn't a coincidence. We are going to put him on center stage in a free creative role in the CL, that would be encumbered in various ways at Woolwich.
But apart from that, you like him?
Forget about Savio, we should be looking at integrating Gil. He could be mustard under Frank.

At this point I'm so sick of transfer news I just wait to see the club announcement. Far too many grifters out there.
El Khannouss passing didn’t look all that against Wednesday tbf, he gave the ball away a couple of times early on, even with a couple of simple passes. Overhit two in behind as well. second half he was a bit better and had 2 good crosses, but nothing I thought oh, clever/good passer, definitely not above Eze in that sense. 1 game granted.
Personally though I don’t buy into these passer or dribbler boxes . Maddison could do both fairly well. good midfielders can, they all need to manipulate the ball in traffic, they need to go past someone if it’s on. That opens up the game more than someone just pinging crossfield passes or hitting a nice looking verticals ball into someone if you’re not really disrupting the shape of a team. I don’t think you need great passers if you have a lot of good technical players that can handle the ball and are really good 1 on 1. that opens up the space for simple passes to become effective.
Offer Johnson, Richi, tel or Wilson to palace
Has he really been any more reliable this summer?
They all get fed what agents want them to say
Yeah, especially because Ornstein is traditionally the Woolwich journalist before he started doing more broad transfer news. And if he's quiet, is it because he expects Woolwich to come in for Eze and so is waiting for that to be the one to break it.
Unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised. I think we will get Sirvio but I would not at all be surprised if we get Orstein dropping an exclusive over the next 48 hours saying Arsenall in advanced talks with Palace and Eze has agreed terms.
I can just see it coming a mile off.
Crazy to me that anyone really thinks any of them are 100% reliable
Sometimes they get good info, sometimes they don’t
Then there’s Ben Jacobs who just chats shit in volume
August 1st from basically every source I've read.
