Transfers, 2024-25 season

[Toonpack 11106]

Set piece delivery is atrocious, that said, even when the ball is delivered we just don't seem to attack it, if it's not pinged directly onto someone's head nothing happens.

 

Though similar about our defending of corners and set plays, our defenders don't attack the ball. Seems all teams we're facing do. It's like we play some form of zonal scheme.

Why is it being reported we have to sell in January before we buy? Didn't we put in a £65m bid for Guehi in the summer?

[ewerk 32721]

Who’s reporting that?

If Wilson had a good December and was fit through Jan, there'd be a temptation to cash in I reckon. Especially if we were cut adrift of CL by then. 

Cash in with who? He's got 6 months left on his deal, has missed 60% of games since he signed for the club and he's 33 soon. No one is paying more than a nominal fee for him

I think the suggestion was that if he was playing well his contract would be extended to make him worth more than a nominal fee, but I agree that we won't get much for him even on that basis, in which case we are better off letting him run down his contract.  He may be like Viduka etc, in other words, when a contract is in the offing he seems to get and stay fit.

He would probably cost more in wages over 12months than any fee we could bring in for him. I'm struggling to understand how we are so tight with PSR with the shit loads of new sponsors, the big adidas deal, the stack, gigs at the ground, the mega sales of shirts etc.

Nobody is buying Wilson in Jan, even if he does have a good December.  He is a crock and to prove a value he would have to be fit longer than a month to prove worthy of a fee.

The problem with PSR is the three year rolling period. We were hamstrung because we invested big in the early days but the new deals didn't kick in until more recently. I think I read that we should have more flexibility this summer coming with a particularly bad year dropping off the PSR assessment.

I think Douglas said we should have just over £100m available in the summer.  Thats without getting XYZ off the books.  But still £100m doesn't get you a lot tbh does it?  We need a RW / CB / CF.  The first two IMO for the first team not just the 'squad'.

Supporting the gays AND loving Jesus. Palace did us a favour

Jesus was a bit of a catch, to be fair. The man's got good taste. 

[Gemmill 49124]

I mean I assume that's some kind of weird homphobic gesture? I don't suppose he writes I love Jesus on all his other armbands.

Fuck knows. But the FA are probably missing the irony that they don't allow religious or political statements on the mandated rainbow armband. 
 

I missed the safety wink in the original post btw

Seems he was a bit of a cross dresser

Ah, so that's why he was on the cross

[Toonpack 11106]

Probably why they sing he/hims in church
