Source: Michael Olise was keen to be the highest paid player at #Chelsea, however the Blues are ultimately trying to cut down the wage bill and felt it was out of their range.

[via @NathGissing]

He defo would not have asked to earn more than Sterling and James. I think he would have chosen Bayern even if we did increase our wages to what Bayern were offering. I said before that personally, I feel if he wants to achieve his ambitions and improve to a world class level, he most likely achieves that at Bayern. They need younger attackers, they are the biggest team in Germany and will fight for trophies every season. Kane will be licking his lips, getting on those crosses from Olise. Makes sense. Palace probably offered him a similar amount, as Zaha was on around £200,000 a week and you would say Olise has more importance to Palace than Zaha did when you take in age and general ability. But he wanted out and think football was his primary decision. He should excel over there. It makes sense.

It might be a rough time if these owners are a selling club. Their history with baseball does not really point to that. They bought young players and matured the team. They got really lucky that a couple pitchers caught fire and they moved up fast. I guess we will know in two years if we are a team that got young talent to develop to move up, or if we are on the Brighton plan?

Regardless I will be a Blue. Might be a bitchy Blue, but a Blue none the less.

Don’t get why they wasted 2 summers trying to convince him. Just shows how arrogant and stupid the sporting directors are. If a player says no and signs a new deal at Palace ahead of coming here, why even go back?

Would take the figures around his salary with a pinch of salt. 90% of the time these are vastly inflated.

Next it will be our board didn’t want to pay him an obscene salary so thats why he turned us down. 

I don't see it that way. We can't match Bayern's offer when we are trying to be disciplined about the wage bill but that doesn't mean we don't try to sign a clearly great talent.

Yeah. It will be tough to get top talent line up to sign for a club that can offer nothing more than conference league football. For two seasons in a row. 

Clownlake have seen to that.

Time to retire this theory. Caicedo, Lavia, Nkunku, Mudryk etc signed when there was no European football.

Wouldn't mind him and Guiu for the same price as that Duran or that Atletico striker.

Guiu has a tiny release clause and is a low-risk signing.  But don't need to spend 30m euros on another young striker. There's Broja, Datro Fofana, Deivid, at the club. Few years down the line we will be trying to shift this fellow for 10 million

We're getting a young striker either way rather Beier than clowns like Duran or Samu.

This is the number from BILD. Would make him a high earner at the club, close to Reece James contract

Bayerns wage bill is crazy. They can afford that. 

[Mário César 970]

and olise is good enough for bayern? a jump from palace to bayern could be too much

IDK if bayern is huge taking a risk to signing him, tbh

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Beier looks a great player to be fair. Good returns, not afraid to have a pop outside the box, good movement and positioning.

I'd be pretty happy with Jackson, Beier and Guiu, when looking at who else is available and what they'd cost us.

It's evident at this point that the club's approach is just that. Use Football Manager as their basis and hope to strike gold with one of their many purchases.

Yet they did with Cole palmer.....

What a fall from Osimhen, Sesko, Gyokeres
