I doubt willian will go mons unless some money comes in, hopefully barca are still silly enough to give us even £20 million.

I think our biggest position to fill is CB as Tomori is still young and we could probably cash in on AC and Zouma.

Rudiger is a total package for me, quick, can play, and great at the hustle and bustle but I think he could be great next to a maguire type player. Not sure who is out there though.

Zaha - Deal is done i think the only reason he didn't go to arsenal is that we had already agreed a deal.
----------------------------------------------------

Interesting. Any idea on the price?

I've got no problem with Wilf leaving as we've relied on him for too long and frankly he deserves better than us tbf.

would say around 60 - 70m
I dont know excactly but im guessing it went down like this

Arsenal bid
Chelsea told palace we will bid in jan if you reject all offers and you get to keep him until then

makes sense, no disrespect but i cant see why he would have waited until jan to move

I didnt think arsenal reached palaces price did they mons?

who knows really,I just have this feeling thata deal has already been done just not on paper

Tbf I have heard that been said. Would be a great signing. Especially IF cho does leave

hmm yeahm been banging the drum about CHO and there is alot of hype i just now getting more and more uneasy about him no signing this contract as we head into January where i believe he can start talking to teams

i think hed be daft to let this linger as he walks into the team at present

Do you think he does?

I think its tough with mount,pulisic,pedro,RLC,Barkley and willian(sadly). He will still have to fight for his place.

Zaha - Deal is done i think the only reason he didn't go to arsenal is that we had already agreed a deal. - direct replacement for Willian, would be a brilliant signing for us.
------------------------------------------------------
Very possible. Would fulfill the homegrown quota we're always so concerned about (though the likes of Mount, Abraham, CHO, etc... will make that less of a problem going forward).

Not sure about him though, if we're gunna blow serious cash on a player of his profile (which I wouldn't in the first place) I'd prefer Harvey Barnes. Younger and just starting to show promise - will be worth double his value within 18 months. Plus, will weaken an immediate top 6 rival in the process.

I’d love us to sign Zaha, although it might hinder the progress of Pulisic and/or CHO. Barkley, Mount and RLC all play a different role to Zaha, and they (particularly Mount) have been forced into playing that wide position at times due to injuries etc. He will cost a lot - but I do think he’s worth the money.

Having said that, MTC, I can’t see us making all those changes - particularly in the middle of the season. We may bring in one or two players in January - but I doubt we would get rid of the 4 or 5 first team squad members you are suggesting until next Summer.

I’d look at bringing in Dybala who should still be available in the January transfer window. If not him we should hold onto our money and slash it on Sancho who will most likely be available in the summer.

I’m all for selling Zouma and bringing in a top quality CB. Not sure who that is though.

Who said the ban will be lifted?

If it was up to me I would bring 1 of our former players back in Nathan Ake.

So we're getting excited over a rather obscure source then!

As long as the money isn't spent frivolously on middling players like Ake, Rice, Zaha, etc...

ohh...controversial

Have we actually got anything concrete in writing that says this ban lift is a go-er

I think it's just from the report in The Mirror that the club have informed certain agents that we expect to be in the market in January.

I'm not holding my breath either, if it happens then great if it doesn't we are in the same position.

Yep...and hopefully our youth has settled nicely

Good news. Maybe we can offload the likes of Mount, Abraham, Tomori and get some proper players in.

soccer?lol.
