On the topic of Olise, remember when we rocked up the Bernabeu with a front three of Gallagher, Kante, and Havertz?

Nkunku - Palmer - Olise 🥶

There's absolutely no chance Sterling would agree to such a move. I feel like it's Saudi or bust where this summer is concerned.  

This is exactly where I'm at with the rumours. What's the point of having talent if they are hardly available? Not to mention how shoddy our medical team seems to be. Both appear to be a recipe for disaster.

At this point, if we decide to pursue more experienced players, they must have a solid track record in terms of fitness.

I'm not entirely convinced it's our medical team, remember we have alot of youth players from alot of different leagues, now the PL experience players we have have pretty much stayed fit, bar James and chili bits that's standard every season, maybe it's not just our medical team, maybe it's a mixture of much higher intensity in training and a much higher intensity league then throw in the fact they are young and not as solid body wise as a middle aged pro, blaming the medical team is an easy assumption to make and I don't think your entirely wrong at all I just wanted to chuck my 2 pence in tbh 🤣

I remember watching a clip recently of someone in sports fitness talking about some of the drills players were told to do that would only make matters worse.

The fact that our injury problems have been a recurring theme for multiple seasons now leads me to believe they are largely to blame, but you make a good point regarding our youthful crop. I'm just hoping injuries won't be the main takeaway next season.

The new medical team brought in by Clearlake have had no major clients in their history. 

Given the amount of set backs you can't help but assume there was some naivety in their implementation of rehabilitation and rushing players back into high intensity training. Nkunku, Carney, Lavia, and Lesly for example.

well, Palace is his level (no slight to Palace, I think they are a very dangerous mid table team atm, who would likely quaify for CL in Ligue 1 or maybe even La Liga or Serie A if they added just a few key players and retained their current big guns)

It would take more than 20 million to convince Palace to take on Sterling's contract.  

 

Sterling should agree to a bit of a pay cut (or extend his contract with Palace for one more year than it is, but on lower PW terms, yet still one where it yields the same total payout as he will get staying here, so reduced to around £240K PW) in exchange for loads of playing time, staying in London, and being a big fish in a fairly little pond (yet still on a decent side).

Palace have no real LWer on their entire side. They never replaced Zaha at all.

Not true.

If Lavia gets healthy next season, doesn't that solve our DM problem? 

I would like a LW so Mudryk is a super sub type player. Also a CB - maybe the bloke on a free that was talked about earlier in here. Get rid of Disasi, and maybe let the CB's we have get a proper go for a whole season. Badi can get another season to work it out.

 

Out - Chilly, Disasi, Ugo

In - LW, CB, LB

Most expensive transfer from South America to Europe ever. Knowing all the best players that came before him this is some burden to carry.

The faith the board are placing in the scouts in order to spend such a ridiculous sum on a teenager must be immense. For this sort of money this kid almost has to be a guaranteed superstar.

Not like we are throwing him to the wolves. He’ll have Palmer and Madueke ahead of him so he can be integrated.

And what happens with Paez, Angelo, and Omari Hutchinson? Feels like we’ve gone WAY overboard signing all these teenaged wingers who will all be around the same age. 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Quite a bit of money for someone with only potential, no experience. Really hope he is as good as they say. Physically he looks extraordinarily lanky, more so than the average 17 yo with his twiggy bones. Let’s hope he does not get eaten alive in PL.

Especially since they are all left footers, preferably coming off the right all four of them lol. Same as Madueke and Palmer. There really seems to strategy behind them other than stockpiling talent. Even with our injury record potentially 6 players for one position is excessive. I assume kendry can be more of a midfielder, Estev more of a striker while angelo and omari can play as no 10 and LW as well. Nonetheless 2 of them will be sold within the next 15 months for sure
