Would hope United are in the running in the future. Different profile to Antony more creative and goes outside and in with good delivery.

I suppose they triggered the very low release clause (reported by many respectable sources) but he rejected them opting for more game time.
More like we were used to get a huge new contract.

Bloody hell, between Hall’s sale, Olise’s U-Turn and James’ hamstring injury, this has been a rough day so far for Chelsea fans :lol:

Purely speculation on my part, but agent leaks to force a new contract? It wouldn't be the first time. Is there a release clause though, that's the question.
There has been rumours since May that Palace were working on a £100k/week contract extension with the release clause going up to £50m. Who knows though. I'm sure the club would've wanted to remove that clause completely.

I'm sure you'll sign a couple of £100m players by the end of the day to make it better. Or at least a few of those 18-year old Brazilians. ;)

Parish is a bit weird. The club hasn't announced it but he wanted to do it from his personal account. Seems to like the attention.

Can't be that bad you've sold a player you can now look forward to buying another player for 100 million plus on a 8 year contract.
Okay okay. Point taken . Leave me alone :lol:

So now that he's staying at Palace for another season, is he still a brilliant player or has he become crap...one for the Chelsea fans that :lol:

Blessing in disguise as good as Olise is. We need another source of goals rather than a creator like this.

Sorry you had to have a day off from signing £50m+ players. I'm sure there will be three or four along tomorrow to make up for it.

Good decision, would've been terrible for his development to join chelsea now. A year later, and they would sign some other winger for 100m and he'd be on the bench.

This doesn’t carry the same punch as the first two nearly identical responses like that did. Sorry. Good effort though :)

New release clause, probably around 50-60 mill. Good deal for Palace.

New release clause contains a sell on clause apparently. So yeah great deal for Palace.

How does that work when you activated his release clause
Player still has to agree to go even if a club triggers a release clause. That’s great leverage in contract negotiations, yes? “Hey, I’ll go to Chelsea if you don’t give me a raise.”

And apparently he’s got that big raise to £100k a week. Smartly played.

imagine he still goes. :lol:
My guess is he goes to City next summer if he fully recovers from his injury. No chance we go back in for him at a MUCH higher price after this saga.

Ah come on, we all know signing him wouldn't stop you guys from signing another player.

Good job Palace. With Olise, Eze and their strong defence they could do well this year. Lerma was a good signing too. Wouldn't rule out getting 10th. Could maybe do with a more reliable striker, but maybe Edouard will show more of his Celtic form this season.

I think it would’ve. What we need is someone clinical and who could rotate not only on the RW but can also play centrally as a striker. Olise wasn't that.

I was confused about this link from the moment it started. I could see what the club were thinking but I was skeptical from the start why we’d buy an injured player when we need goals badly NOW.

Yes but he obviously had an offer from Chelsea - so he rejected you, to stay at Palace.

Okay? Good luck to him. No sleep lost for me.

Then again you probably didn’t need both Caicedo and Lavia, yet you signed them.

I mean, in the last 6 months we’ve lost 5 CM’s. So Lavia absolutely makes sense.

That’s only because you had 17 of them in the first place. Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Ugochukwu, Gallagher, Santos and Chukwuemeka seems a lot, but that’s just me.

From what I’ve read it sounds like he did have a release clause, but one that another club should only know about if they blindly bid.

Seems shenanigans have gone on behind the scenes, Chelsea obtained knowledge of the clause which Palace deem can’t have happened without an illegal approach, and Chelsea backed away knowing they did something. Apparently they’re considering reporting us.

Ugo will 100% be going out on loan and both Gallagher & Carney are naturally #10‘s rather than CM’s.
