£2m loan fee, minimum, right ?

[Obvious joke]We'd probably have to give them more than that.[/obvious joke]

PL still being the priority, expect it might be another DM/CM we might target - possibly more of a younger ‘project’ type who we’d still expect to feature.

Even if we couldn’t play him in the Europa League this season.

If we do bring in a 4th player they wouldn't be able to play in the Europa as I assume we will be including Bailey, Doug and Tammy. We can only swap out three players. No issue at all if Guessand leaves loan or otherwise.

Guess it depends who that hypothetical fourth player is. If it's someone really sexy then I guess Bailey is told he's already his his Europa League fun this season.

Yep, someone will miss out if we bring a 4th in. You have to figure Bailey is most at risk because Doug and Tammy are too valuable not to include in the EL set up. We’d all be happy if the third player is a true difference maker.

It's going to be Sterling. I don't know why you're all resisting the opportunity to get used to it.

If Guessand goes to Palace on loan I’d guess we’d bring another loan on from continent, maybe Unai thinks Bailey / Sancho / Alysson are enough to cover right hand side so can use loan option elsewhere in the team?

Guessand deal done, according to Jason Burt of the Helegraph. Option to buy too.

Sterling as a six month gamble I could live with. I imagine he's off to Saudi or the US, though.

If it's Sterling on one leg or Guessand, I'm still choosing Sterling.

Incredible if true.

No doubt the option won’t get exercised. We can’t be that lucky twice.

Fucking hell what a collapse Palace have had.

Eze gone.
Guehi gone.
Manager wants out.
Mateta wants out.
Guessand in on loan.

If it's loan with obligation to buy then the new bloke has done a number on them there.
