Don't get me wrong, I know we're too conservative when it comes to the transfer market, but £50m is too much for someone who might be rubbish. Spending that much on a player that doesn't work could ruin us for next season, make us sell at a loss or sell players we would rather keep, to balance rhe books.

And for what? The aim this season is to stay up and our squad is already up to that. Better to shop in the summer, and learn from last summer I say. Palace are spiralling and if they pay £50m, panic buying.

Absolutely DG!
Nearly fell off my chair when I saw that price tag.

Makes you wonder what Palace will ask, and get for Mateta who is on a different level to Strand Larsen.

What price for DCL given the season he's having? Not that we'd now sell of course:)

Absolutely lads, this whole saga bemuses me really. I was staggered we offered what we did for a player who let's face it ain't ripping up teams. We don't desperately need a statement signing just cover then spend that dosh in the summer.

It now seems the deal is stalling but I hope we just walk away because £40 million plus and his wage demands ain't worth it.

I have a gut feel that this one is going through. Either that or its wind. And then the wind is telling me that he will prove his worth and be a success.

Not with you on either count bright. Don’t think it will happen and if it does not sure he will prove his worth. Happy to be completely wrong. Well, not happy. But you get what I mean.
