Looks like Slot doesn't rate Wataru Endo, could be a deal to be made there? Would be our best midfielder

This is a bit of an overreaction on here if I'm honest, most Palace fans are saying they'd rather keep him at that price. I'd understand if this was deadline day and ****-all else had been done but there's still a lot of time.

I'd take him for 4m. Not at the cost of any of the other links, and hugely dependent on the contract terms, but 4m is basically nothing these days.

his new agent also represents Nanasi...

We're mentioned again in this article, but I don't think it's anything new. More wanted to comment on how nice we are as a club, even to our detriment. No ruthlessness in forcing players out the door. Ward still shirt #1.

https://www.scoutedftbl.com/best-young-football-players/adam-hlozek/ This report from a few years back compares him to Zlatan in terms of style

Is he checking for lumps?

As much as I'd like it to be true, I can't see us getting both him and Hlozek - especially if So'ton are willing to pay that much more for him.

i think Hlozek would play in the hole and BDCR on the wing.

yeah my only hope for the season at this point is that we don't break derby's record

18m? get the ****ing chequebook out

Am I wrong to think a 9m€ loan fee is extremely high for a year of past his prime Zaha?

Release clauses have to be paid in one lump some, probably not an option with our finances.

This strategy of buying fifteen 20-30m€ players and hoarding them is so much more detestable than spending 100m each on 4 players

No option is a shame but phwoar what a banger of a name. Mr. Goodnight, put them to bed!

we're massive

Only way this makes sense to me is if we're expecting Hermansen to go - and if what Tanner was saying about our finances is true, that might be necessary to make any signings. Could see Liverpool looking to get the heir to Alisson in with time to bed into the team. That said, I don't buy it.

He seems a good lad but I've never really been convinced by him. Hope he kicks on here and maybe we can recoup some of the cash we spent on him.

must be boring as **** to be a chelsea fan, don't even to spend the entire summer stressing if your flagship signing is gonna be Jordan Ayew, just log-on to twitter on the 1st of September to see that you've signed 15 players who you'll never even see play

Would this be the first time a team has bought a player with the same surname as a different player that they had previously sold to the same team?

The more I think about strikers, the more I wonder if Adebayo isn't the best choice that we could realistically get. He's a bit of an obvious pick and I love to be a football hipster, but he's the exact sort of forward we've missed - a knockoff Drogba almost.

Didn't really play for them in fairness; but he didn't really set the world alight at Union Berlin or Burnley. That said, he's very young and clearly talented. Maybe Cooper could get a tune out of him.

I can only imagine we thought we could do better for that price. We'll see how that looks by the end of the window. I wasn't crazy about Sara as a pickup, but he's better than a lot of the other players we could end up with.

My top pick for depth at the 6/8.
