Winter transfer window

[Riever]

I think we might be willing to accept something like that in the summer, but not now. I think it would take closer to £40m for us to consider selling now.

I think Jobe will be lining up for us next month - whether we still own his registration is open to debate. Both Tottenham and Arsenal would see him as somebody for the future (i.e. regular first team in 12-18 months) and so a 6 month loan back for him to continue to develop would work for them. It might also negate the need for a January Premium cost as well.

The hints seem to be that we have made a promise that he can go if the right offer for all parties is made in which case the rumours about Le Fee make sense and represent good forward planning from the club.

I see that Cardiff have recalled Roko Simic. Was excited about the prospect of signing him in the summer so I'm interested to see how he does at Cardiff. His loan at Kortrijk was poor.

Found the whole thing utterly bizarre. Seemed too good for Cardiff and they loaned him to a lower level where he did nothing. Hopefully for them he's as good as the hype and can turn their season around.

All these reports seem to concur that we are willing to accept a deal around £20m so I really hope that they're just going off eachother rather than any intelligence.

That was the number reported in the summer before the new contract I’m thinking one went off that and the rest have blindly followed suit

Lot of noise around Jobe last few days... Hope thats all it is.. The lad is integral to us this season

Unless its a ridiculous offer, he won't be going anywhere in January

Showed a lot of potential and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited

however there’s clearly something off the fact he got let go so easily. To Cardiff who were desperate for a forward and loaned him out

 

[Rade Prica]

I hope we just say no and keep everyone here till the Summer and see how we are if not in prem then loads will leave and I wouldn't blame them

One thing that is certain is that we will not be held to ransom. A huge piece of work in recent years has been the contracts for these players. We sell on our terms and nobody else’s.
These players are enjoying their football and will see themselves the progress they’ve made here in a short space of time. The club has a fantastic reputation these days. Current league position also helps a great deal.

Was fun while it lasted


The latest proposals for him came from Real Betis and Sunderland.

However, as reported by La Repubblica, Le Fée remains unconvinced by these two destinations.

The player would much rather prefer a return to France where Lille have emerged as a possible destination.

Best business we can do this window is keep our best players. I would happily sign nobody if it meant this squad were kept in tact. We are on a roll with them and Regis, and both are improving. We will be better second half of the season with them. Lets not upset the good thing we have.

Yeh there's always a chance that both him or Rigg ask us to accept an offer and we seem likely to be the type of club to take that into account to an extent at least.

I'm actually more worried about Rigg being one to have his head turned than Jobe. Jobe has a really sensible team around him who will know he's on the right trajectory. I've got no reason to think Rigg doesn't have that, but we can't be sure. Of course the fact he signed a pro deal with us and not elsewhere indicates that despite the rumours of his family allegiances he is being well advised.

I think we can to be honest, he's had at least two opportunities to leave the club with us being powerless to stop him - the most recent being this summer when signing his first pro deal - and with multiple big clubs showing interest and putting (more lucrative) offers on the table for him. He and his family/team prioritised his development, playing time and loyalty and gratitude to the club above all else.

Yes but as I've said in a subsequent post, both players have improved dramatically since and both are arguably ready to start games now for teams like Palace when they weren't ready in the summer.

That can work two ways - either they see the benefit of staying to improve that trajectory or they now feel ready to make such a move. We don't know for sure which way they choose if a big offer comes in that the club are happy to accept. Hopefully, and it feels more likely, they both would want to continue.

Anyway now with Le Fee out my mind, let's obsess over the Orlando Pirates centre-mid and Harvey Vale

Aye, sorry, I should have read on before responding. Does still suggest we can assume with reasonable certainty that he is getting sensible advice though which was the point I was responding to.

Yep absolutely

 

[Maccasafc]

I say no deal is over until that players has signed with someone

I'd say it shows the quality of player we're targeting.

Getting them to come is different though
