Palace reject £8M Chelsea offer for Bostock


tribalfooball.com - December 17, 2007

Crystal Palace have rejected offers of up to £6 million for 15 year-old superkid John Bostock.

Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal have all made firm bids for the midfielder. Chelsea have been the most persistent - after failing with a deal that could rise to £8m, they have asked Palace to name their price, says the Sunday Mirror.

Chairman Simon Jordan is adamant he wants to keep Bostock and continues to resist tempting offers to sell. But he accepts there is only so long he can keep the three Premier League clubs at bay.


This is mad! I want Bostock to stay, I love watching him play and I want to see him improve with the club but this kind of money is stupid.

Must push up the transfer value of Tiny if the big clubs want to pay £8M for Bostock.

Why are Chelsea wanting to pay 8 million for superglue?

It only costs a couple of quid in the shops...

Why? Because we have a school kid who is valued at 8 million while your team is only worth 2 bob. What was it Mullery once said.

If Sidwell and SWP struggle to get in the Chelsea side what chance has this lad of ever getting a break? Signing for Arsenal or Chelsea will mean 3 or 4 seasons of seat-warming for this lad.

take the 8 mill

no question

Got to go up the Arse, surely. Any kid with a brain [granted, he's Palace] would want to play for Wenger. The man is a genius, when it comes to developing young players.

 

[SNOOBS]

A player can't have a pro contract till hes 16 - he's not actually signed permanently - Anyone can train him - hes free?

In FM you just have to pay compensation which I'm sure would be a lot cheaper than £8 million then why don't Chelsea do this? I'm sure its the same IRL
