Dwight Gayle

[sir albion]

Wow. If that's what they're paying, how much should we be spending (for our main striker)?

Less than that
No way would I pay £15 million for him and clearly we can't compete with many championship clubs nevermind premiership

I think that you are confusing desire and ability. We may not wish to pay that for him but if pushed we could.

Has played with Murray before so there is an understanding already there.

Muzza's sublime chest forward to him for the 3rd goal in the Crystanbul match a case in point.

Is he better and able to score more goals than Hemed, that's the question? I suspect all but Hemed's friends and family would say yes... That said however, I still think we can do better than Gayle also.

Hmmmm I'm sceptical that we will do better than him at the moment. If we don't and fulham sign him, well.... Recruitment have questions to answer

Any incomings at Selhurst, Del? Saw a Gray/Townsend switch rumoured.

Most of the fees mentioned include the add-ons.....so the actual cost over the period of the contract don't seem steep based on possible reward.
These add-ons have worked for us in deals (ie we stay up - Ulloa, Buckley, Bridcutt)

Yes, the club have repeatedly said that the funds are there, but it's more of a case of Tony Bloom not wanting to pay more for a player than he thinks he is worth. That said, with the deadline fast approaching, and with us still being several players light, he may well have to.

Mr Parish is keeping his cards very close to his chest. Hardly any "in the know" info these days. Expecting a couple of decent signings at the last moment, no idea of who. We probably don't have the money for Sakho as well as the 8 players we need to play the FdB way.

Tricky for you I'd say. Obviously the type of signings you would want if FDB is to continue will be very different to those you would go after if you were to abandon the "project." That said, given he seems to abandon it each time you go behind in a game it would seem rather doomed anyway.

 

[Del Fenner]

Precisely.

I hear that Burton is a top away day.

Oh l think we probably have the money for Sakho too, but is he a player that the club want to spend it on?

He should be; he's absolutely bloody brilliant. If it weren't for a falling out with Klopp he'd be starting every week for Liverpool, hence why Leicester and Pulis both want him as well. The only concern is his injury record but it's a risk worth taking; he pretty much guarantees survival if he can play 30 games.

 

[northstandsteve]

Gayle and Jota off to Fulham £20M & £8M , staggering fees

If this is true we have missed a trick here. Jota looks good value.

Hes brilliant the way Allardyce played his football....will it be the case with RDB game plan...who knows.. 30 millin quid... ouch

The transfer fee is almost irrelevant if the player is good enough and not too old, clubs are almost guaranteed to get their money back and in lots of cases an increase in value.

The transfer fees have been ridiculous but it looks as if these are only going one way as there is no sign of the bubble bursting any time soon.

Palace are on the limits of FFP my Palace supporting mates tell me, so fees and wages are definately not irrelevant.

Will Sakho fit the RDB style was more my point, If RDB is willing to change his game plan a bit then ofcourse he is a decent player, ask him to start knocking it around at the back etc not so much....
