Yet more paper talk about Palace discussing buying Eze this morning. If it is all true, they do seem to be showing the most firm interest. Reckon if they up their bid to around £15m to £16m cash plus add ons to £20m we may bite. Don't think it would be a bad move for him, likely to get game time and the step up in the Prem with a mid ranking club. If he improves there then possibility of a bigger club next. Got to get a decent % sell on clause in the deal. |  | | |  |

£16m rising to £19.5m with a decent sell-on clause I could live with. |
Even if that is the final figures then I would snap their hand off. If it is £16m in upfront coin and then the add on and sell on potential then I think that is well played by the club. |  |

You know, a QPR with money's a little like the mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it. |
Now, wait just a minute. We're twice as smart as the people of Brentfordville. Just tell us your idea and we'll vote for it. |  | | |

Trouble is try telling an 8 year old that it's economics! |  |

This would be excellent business for the club. Palace will off-load Zaha now. |  | | |

How much will they reinvest? Spent £1m already, possibly the Oxford defender at £1.5m.
Doesn't seem to be too much interest in BOS and Manning. [Post edited 25 Aug 2020 17:47]

Really, really interesting.
This is what they've talked about ever since Les got here, developing players, selling them for big money, and reinvesting. First time for ages there's some serious money potentially available to spend, albeit offset by losses we were already making exacerbated by Covid, let's see what they do with it...
Wonder if they'd have gone for Hugill permanently if this had happened earlier?
Wonder if they'll make Bright and Manning bigger offers?
Huge moment for this management team. |  | | |

Would imagine we were nearing the decision point to add to the squad now with what we had and bank what we got haggling for Eze on deadline day for following windows. Getting the big one finally out the way now gives us some room to act if we see something we really like. | | | |

Yep. Foundations painstakingly laid, this is the official beginning of phase two. | | | |

Adel's back out of favour at Benfica. £12m and £60,000 a week. Spend the change on the Christmas party. | | | |

Or £12m on the Christmas party and the change on Adel. | |

I don't think they'll rush into spending it. I suspect they've had targets lined up for where they want to strengthen the team and will stick with that regardless of who went/goes. We'd arguably be better banking most of it and seeing how we get on before spending in Jan or next summer, especially with Wycombe, Rotherham and -12pts Sheffield Wednesday likely giving us breathing space and reducing the risk of relegation being a serious threat. |  |

Although we've expected it all summer a little tinge of sadness to see the bid accepted.
Well done to the club. Picking him up on a free, coached according to him to a high standard by the likes of ramsay, impey and hall with a productive loan at Wycombe.
Warburton deserves great praise. Much better this season and for a player of his ilk, the way we play is perfect for him. Hodgson won't allow him so much freedom.
Had to accept the bid. If it went past this summer our chance to cash in would be gone. We can point to how eze did when buying other young players with potential.
Wish ebere all the best. Been an absolute pleasure watching him play and develop. |  | | |

Positive that it's getting done early in the window. Had visions of another one of our deadline day trolley dashes six games deep into the season. | | | |

It all depends on how much extra in salary is enough. If we can get BOS under contract for another 3 +years, at a salary that is obviously increased, but no more so than £10k extra per week, I would.
It’s an additional opex of £1.5m (c. £500k p.a.) but you’d hope/think that another season under his belt in the Championship, hopefully performing to a high standard, would mean we’d recoup multiple times that additional salary in additional transfer fee to the £4.7m offered now.
If someone said, sell Eze for £19m but get BOS under contract for another 3 years, as a joint thing, you’d bite their hand off. Sell BOS in 12 months for £10-15m (or promotion with him), and you’re creating the right cycle that encourages good, young players to join and the club progress sustainably.

Brings a small problem to the table in that other clubs who know we have cash will be upping the cost of their players we are after.
We'll see. |  |

I am going to be pessimistic mate about the BOS sale value 12mths based on him being locked in to a longer deal. Unless he outshone what both he and Eze did this season then I think the fact that it became known/rumoured that we agreed to sell him last month to FC Brugge for less than 5m will mean the opening offers are going to start low again. I think we showed our hand with BOS and way south of 10m is going to be the reality unless he scores 30 goals, 20 assists and gets player of the season | |

Flip side might encourage clubs to pay a bit more for Manning/BOS if either/both are determined to go. |  |

And £4m for the cure the following day. | |

But surely what we were prepared to accept for BOS was based on his contract. With a new contract things would be different | | | |
