Summer Transfer Window 2019

[mccole]

Hopefully any loan included a permanent fee attached because missing out on Zouma not having that option would/could lead to an increased fee for any player.

I see you have all whipped yourselves up into a frenzy thinking that we are going to pull off all these amazing deals before the deadline.

The fume on here will be something to behold.

However, I hope though on Friday you all will be able to look back on the window with perspective. We have got rid of a heap of deadwood and recruited some top prospects.

I honestly think the only deal we will do now will be a loan for a CV sadly

Ah, you know who was on the list?

I highly doubt any of the people who we think would be on the list are actually on it. No one on here was saying anything about Zaha and he appears to be #1. The most common shouts on here have been Neres and Lozano and I just don't think we are smart enough to have gotten either right.

For what it's worth no one was shouting about Gbamin, Sidibe or Lossl either. There may have been a few posts about how good Kean was before the rumors started but I don't think anyone thought we could seriously get him at that point. I just don't think anyone knows until it starts to trickle out.

Everton midfielder James McCarthy is currently driving to London after Crystal Palace agreed a fee £3m to sign the 28yo Republic of Ireland international from #EFC. He will undergo a medical and finalise personal terms on Wednesday before completing a move to Selhurst Park #CPFC

£3 million??? Makes u wonder if that means we’ve knocked 5 mil of the Zaha fee

Ceefax and Elton Welsby. Proper nostalgia on the transfer thread tonight

No ones fingers are that fat

£3m seems about right considering his injury record.

The modus operandi was big fees / smaller wages.

Gbamin would fit this. Kean does too, though his fee was actually very reasonable in this market.

Zaha / Doucoure would surely be
Massive fees / Huge wages.

Unless our other targets have worked out more cost effective than anticipated.

Would imagine there are multiple add ons with this Mccarthy deal. He hasn't played in the last 3 years and no team is going to shell out a guaranteed £8m for him

 

[BlueToff]

Surely we wouldn’t be doing business with Palace for McCarthy if they won’t play ball with us for Zaha?

You'd like to think the cheap transfer fee would sweeten any deal.

But then again, we're probably happy to have 60k wages off the books.

They’ve been negotiating for this fella for weeks trying to agree a fee. Would love to swoop in and pinch him at the death just to royally pee them off
