He's release clause will set you back £80M apparently.Would be an obvious target, if he could had for a reasonable fee. Somewhere near £50-60m could be good business. He would instantly improve us.
Oh. Well, obviously it has to be weighed against the other areas where we need to improve. He might still be worth it.He's release clause will set you back £80M apparently.
After seeing Antony again today? I think you're right.Oh. Well, obviously it has to be weighed against the other areas where we need to improve. He might still be worth it.
He is young, English and proven in EPL. 80m is the going rate.Would be an obvious target, if he could had for a reasonable fee. Somewhere near £50-60m could be good business. He would instantly improve us.
Ended up with Palmer as an alternative though. Not a bad trade-off if you ask me.Another player Chelsea let get away.
He is French.He is young, English and proven in EPL. 80m is the going rate.
He’s English for these purposes. Born in London and spent all his football life in England. Can still also play for England as it stands.He is French.
He is as much Nigerian as he is French, really should be playing for England though, he’s background is no different from Saka, born and raised in London.He is French.
Thiink it's the playing for England, or future England player aspect that brings about the English tax though?He’s English for these purposes. Born in London and spent all his football life in England. Can still also play for England as it stands.
He’s the kind of player Pep buys just so he doesn’t end up at a rival.I think he'll be at City by the end of next summer.
They think he's shite.How do the Palace fans rate him?
The buyout clause was £35 million according to every report I saw. Then he extended his contract.So though I can’t see any info online re what his buyout clause is set at, I’d assume they’ve added 20m on top of that - I reckon somewhere in the £80m region is what someone would expect to pay.
Why couldn’t you have both?Ended up with Palmer as an alternative though. Not a bad trade-off if you ask me.
Because we are famously very frugal with our spending and £35 million is a lot.Why couldn’t you have both?

yes, I meant his new buyout clause. Lots of info that it becomes active next summer, but not what it is. I’d assume it’s set somewhere around the £80m mark. Par price should prob be £50-60m. At the prior £35m clause he was a steal.The buyout clause was £35 million according to every report I saw. Then he extended his contract.
because Boehly preferred engaging in a dick measuring contest with John Henry and spending £170m on two defensive midfielders one of whom has yet to play rather than addressing his glaring deficiencies upfront after nkunku got injured.Why couldn’t you have both?
I swear Chelsea could have sold an 18 year old Messi for a tenner and the fans would find some logic to it.
They are stylistically very similar to be fair and play in the same position. Usually you'd want two players that offer something a bit different competing with eachother. We also have Madueke there who would probably have to leave in some capacity for Olise to join.Why couldn’t you have both?

Be nice to have both, but that may be regarded as greedy.Ended up with Palmer as an alternative though. Not a bad trade-off if you ask me.
I still think we would have gone for Palmer. I know people listed him as a replacement option when Palace used that ridiculous blackmail stunt to stop our move, but it was a similar situation to Lavia: the people that had helped recruit and oversee their careers from an early age were here and pushing for their addition.Ended up with Palmer as an alternative though. Not a bad trade-off if you ask me.
Olise is cheaper and has more potential.Ended up with Palmer as an alternative though. Not a bad trade-off if you ask me.
