Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Mister E]

I'd feel happier if Baker had gone during this window - he's a clanger waiting to happen every game.
I understand that we need cover for injuries but Baker?

Wish we had offered the Cleverley money to Palace for Puncheon.

[London Villan]

Looking at it a bit more it makes the last couple of years even more mad when you look at the starting line up on Sunday being made up of players that were here before the manager.

Guzan
Hutton
Delph
Gabby
Wiemann
CNZ

With Bent and Young Jack too...

80k week for tc,  fucking hell

[Mister E]

Pat Murphy just saying that TC23 is after £80k a week; hence the stand-off.

Jesus Christ, I would imagine our offer would be so much lower than that there wouldn't be any requirement to talk further.

Murphy reckoned that Vila were prepared to go to £60k ...

Not keen on Puncheon,
But I think it stems from seeing him in a club one night when he played for MK Dons,
he was an absolute dickhead

He probably isn't the only footballer with these traits mind

Sure I saw he was on 40k according to Red Cafe

Is the Canales one dead then?

Dead in the water

I back the club on this.

Cleverley is nowhere near an 80k player, imo Delph is a superior midfielder than him. Now given Delph's contract is running out, you'd imagine he would be wanting parity if Cleverley was on that...and hence our wage bill starts to spiral out of contract yet again.

Cleverley would be another Sidwell, I'm happy he's not coming.

[Phil from the upper holte]

T C can get Fucked

[taylorsworkrate]

If it is true that we were prepared to offer such an average player as Cleverley 60k a week, and we end up signing no one today, then that will be a farce.

[Mister E]

R5L have just talked up TC23 - intelligent and dynamic player, according to the pundits.
Given that Palace have paid £7m for McArthur, the fee is acceptable it's all about the wages, I guess.
I think he and Delph either side of Westwood and / Sanchez looks good to me.


PS - Delph and one or two others would need to be on parity, wages-wise.

Natalie has arrived 😈

He would appear to have a bit of an ego.
