Only spanner is if there is something possible with Neymar and Hazard stays - which would cause Chelsea to hesitate.
And Martial goes to PSG???

"Okay, here's what we've got: the Rand corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires ..."

Perhaps Levy is/was trying to reach an agreement with a United regarding Zaha’s sell on fee... and would they consider dropping their 25% if we sell Toby at a lower ‘undisclosed’ price?

Zaha to the Chavs, Will.I.an to Utd and Martial to us.

Too much overthinking going on here ....


All deals are on until the fat lady sings, no one can really know what DL is up to , all chairman have a list of targets and they try and get the one they can for the best price they can... we can all have our own opinions but that's all they are .

But please lets stop all this DL has failed us....ffs just look at where we are right now as a club on and off the pitch and stop being absurd.

Mate the entire concept of this forum is to take all the ITK with a pinch of salt. No one is calling anyone a liar, but we’re not supposed to blindly believe all the ITK either.

You have to think that some of the ITK finds its way here fully intentionally from within the club and in that scenario it could at times be propaganda

At times It most definitely is.

What is more worrying is we have been told by a few ITKs Alli and Eriksen have signed new contracts but that info has not been confirmed by the club. That for me can only mean the announcements are being held back because there may be no good news to share on transfers.

Or to find its way to a club we are negotiating with. It’s exactly what I would do if I were Spurs and we have games of blink going on. It’s all the standard tactics of negotiation for any competent business which conducts transactions: Be willing to walk away to get movement on the other side, leak interest in an alternative purchase, etc.

Or they may not have signed new contracts yet. Salt.

Palace are about to blow £24M on Danny Ings.

Acting as if they’ve got money to burn...

Yeah, imagine spending money you don't have and then Spurs (for example) threaten to pull out of talks and say they aren't interested. Panic stations.

If Ings is followed by Antonio then I cannot see how they have not budgeted for the sale of Zaha. Very reminiscent of our spree prior to Bale (which was constantly 'on and off' if people recall). This is perhaps, the gamble Levy is taking... Palace will need to balance the books as it is and this may help rationalise the figure they want.
