PALACE BID £31.5M FOR BATSHUAYI He's among the most coveted names of European strikers, but it looks like Crystal Palace are determined on winning the battle to sign Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi, according toSky sources. Palace have made a bid of €38m and nearly two and a half times more than the £12.8m they paid for Yohan Cabaye, their previous transfer record. Batshuayi was linked heavily with moves to Newcastle and Stoke last January and he has since reportedly been the subject of interest this summer from Tottenham. They could have had a PL proven goal scorer in Benteke for that price!
yes it would. It won't happen quick due to euros so if it happens every other club will have stood back.
Belgium striker to Palace is unlikely.. but in accepting 31m Marseilles have told everyone else, this is the figure that will get the job done.. Think this lads likely destination is Spurs or maybe Dortmund if they lose the likes of Obama-Yang!
Mane.. I like the player.. think he's what we need, powerful, pacey winger with a proven track record in scoring and assisting.. Southampton media reporting a 30m+ deal, local media say its 25+5... It is expensive but when you consider Leicester want to pay 30m for Troy Deany, could turn out to be a bit of a bargain!
If he's as good as Suarez for us the discipline is secondary, if he's a dirty horrible bastard like Diouf he'll be on his way with the help of the supporters as well as the manager. We bought Suarez from Ajax knowing his on field antics but Mane seems a pussy cat by comparison.
