Good question. That's what I'm wondering as well, while leaning towards the possibility that they'll try to cash in on Eze.
Palace already took a hit last summer when they had to sell Olise for his release clause. They could've definitely gotten more than that.
It's now certain that they're going to take an even bigger hit on Guehi, it's a matter of how big it's going to be.
With these two precedents in mind, it's natural to assume that they can't afford to go through the same thing for the third time with Eze next summer.
On the other hand, with European football on the horizon, they also can't afford to field a weakened team. The best case scenario for them would be to use Eze money to address a few needs of the squad near the end of the window, but it's easier said than done .
News to me
I thought our whole recruitment team were visually impaired
What he didn’t specify is that the payment terms were in 70 million annual increments
….Is almost exactly the kind of thing that would never pass the lips of Mr Levy
We paid 65 for Solanke
Really don't care how long City drag this out as long as it gets done.
Savinho to Spurs and Rodrygo to City seems to be written.
I agree; why would City want €60m? Why would an English club that deals in sterling, ask another club that also deals in sterling to pay for a player in euros? That would just increase the exchange rate risk and presumably incur hefty transaction fees. Maybe someone who knows about trading will tell me why it’s a good idea …
Agreed. I was quietly confident this would get done but much less so now... assuming we really have had a £60m bid rejected, Maybe they'll deal at £65m, but I can imagine us taking some time to explore other targets if that's the case, especially if we're looking for a defender as well.
its worth paying big money for. Hes a top player. Come on levy get this one done.
Yeah I think we will walk away if they don't accept the next offer
Is MGW really the new barometer for every link now?
Even the most pessimistic fan has to realize it was the anomaly. Did it happen to us? Sure of course it did. But it's far from the norm.
Makes no difference to me the price tbh.
Sounds promising that we are serious though
