where have you read these "reports" please , unless it was from txiki or peps desk then i wouldn't take too much notice, or do you mean twitter ?Reports this morning that Wirtz, Barella, and Olmo are all not for sale this summer. We have inquired. After Bellingham, Rice, and Paqueta, that would make Eze our 7th choice ;). Common sense will most likely prevail, and we will go into the season with what we have and re-evaluate in January.
Possible throw them a youth team sweetener or two as part of it?70M seems low this late in a window for a player Palace are almost certainly desperate to keep.
yanks wont turn money down no matter where it comes fromIt all depends on Palace being able to find a replacement in the same time before letting him go.
Maybe throw Mcatee on a loan/permanent as a sweetener as well?Palmer (loan) to palace with Olise out? wonder if Roys fancies him.
Is he? I've only ever seen him playing centrally for Palace.Ezé's more a winger from what I've seen. Centrally, he ain't getting a game at City imo, plus we need pace, power, trickery & jeopardy out wide, so we can continue to tactically evolve.
If our interest is concrete & if we sign Doku, it'll be like back to the future with Sterling & Sané.
Makes both signings exciting in my view!Genuinely don't have a solid opinion on this or Doku.
Both seem like they're bigger gambles than the club has taken under Pep. We've made our living buying just below world class players for just below world class prices and turned them world class.
These 2 feel a lot more like they could be incredible revelations under Pep or they could be expensive mistakes. I guess we just won't know for a year or so.
Exciting though! And it helps that I genuinely think we don't *need* either of them. If they both turned out to be like Phillips I think we'd still compete on all fronts.
could give them 50m and a couple of youth players to sweeten the potMaybe throw Mcatee on a loan/permanent as a sweetener as well?
