Being reported that Arsenal are offering a swap deal to palace for Eze - that would be so typical for us to miss out on any sell on fee!

I'm sure they'd still have to put a cash value on the player being swapped.Originally posted by 3London View PostComment

"QPR are among the clubs eyeing a move for Brazilian defender David Sousa from RWD Molenbeek. It has been exclusively revealed by FLW that there are a number of Championship sides looking at the 23-year-old. It was previously reported by The Athletic that Swansea City had an offer for the player worth €1 million (£850,000) rejected. It is believed that QPR, Derby County, Coventry City and Middlesbrough are all in the race to sign Sousa this summer".

Reports saying we are looking to make Walsh our no1 and move Nardi on!
seems odd but may explain his absence so farComment
-
Yeah, I did wonder why Nardi didn't play in the first game. If Walsh is good enough and there's value in a Nardi sale then it makes sense. That's what we need to do when developing young players. Hopefully Walsh and Kelman have great seasons.Originally posted by 3London View PostComment

I like Walsh I think he'll be fine, but I thought Nardi was excellent, it'll be a shame if he does go, but if it means we make a decent profit then that again shows that our current business model is starting to work out as it should.Originally posted by 3London View PostComment

Nardi is in friendlies squad. That said Walsh needs to be given a half decent run at some point. He will be 50 at this rate before he gets a proper chance!
Santos out on season long loan with suggestion of option to buy.Comment

Nardi form dropped off after a very good start, I would guess the publicity around Walsh taking his place is just a message to shake him up.
Walsh looks slow to react and hesitant to me, the other Keeper Salamon has great agility and I think will eventually be a very good number 1.Comment

It’s gone very quiet……even the click bait sites aren’t linking us with anyone!Comment

I was thinking the same yesterday and was looking for something to get interested in.Originally posted by 3London View Post
But, we've extended Dunne which wouldnt have been cheap, signed some players and brought players back in from loans and back onto our payrolls. Also, Colback & Fox haven't left or been extended which suggests we havent got the funds. I think this all adds up to us having done our budget for next season.
We may get an income boost if some fringe players go out on loan, but that may well be adjusting what we've already spent? The squad looks decent and unless there's some Eze money arriving soon I dont think we'll see any new players arriving. Maybe a late arrival on deadline day....???Comment

Suspect Sheep is largely right. Am expecting few more in if only to pad out squad but will likely be dependent on Eze or perhaps someone else such as Varane being transferred out so we may know what budget we have. Can see couple of loans and couple of cheap permanents in.
Areas for recruitment:
1. LB we have two young players. Would expect someone else in even if say CB who can play LB in case youngsters struggle to be regular starters.
2. Think CM short. Once season underway and suspensions/injuries/loss of form start to take their toll another would be very useful.
3. If say Lloyd leaves on loan (which I think he should for regular game time) then possibly loan in to replace him and provide cover and competition.
4. Not necessarily strictly needed but like many here would like Saito back.
We do seem in pretty good shape overall and in better place than we normally are at this time.Comment

Could actually work out better for us. A cash value still has to stated/agreed BUT the values are usually exaggerated to help with FFP.... Palace could swap Eze for Grealish and agree both players were worth £150million.Originally posted by 3London View Post
In that scenario Palace and City both book notional income of £150 million but the notional spend will be something like £30 million due to the fee being booked over the 5yrs of the player's contract (ie £30mil per year for 5 years).
They both end up £120million to the good for this financial year in terms of the transaction.Comment
