We aren't even paying small amounts of money for them, forking out 35 fucking millions instead of getting Caicedo over the line.

We have a totally different budget for youth players and first teamers. 

In terms of the impact on any first team signings, what we spend on youth players is about as relevant as what I spent at the bar.

You've just described Fofana as well during his time here, or is the Potter/Lampard excuse made exclusively for him?

Chalobah was class under Tuchel. 

he regressed

Yeah… don’t get me wrong, love having a bunch of up and comers, but this is getting ridiculous. Maybe 5% will work out. And this guy is some kind of sex pest too. 

Those allegations were supposedly regarding his cousin, not him.

Separate budgets.

Hey guys, i know some of you are interested in this topic, so i'll post it here. This is a table i made with salary + amortization cost for our players (comparison between last season and next one). Made some hypothesis on salaries and sales amounts (in yellow), and the salary figures are taken from Capology. This was intended for a french speaking discord initially, so some titles are in french :).

You rate him Tomo? I didn't watch enough of him at Palace tbh.

We let Guehi go for 20m and we don't have a buy-back (!) We have a match bid clause but no one has bid for him and Palace are quoting 50 m. I'd rather look at the market instead - Disasi, Simakan - who are both quoted to be much cheaper. Only reason to go for Guehi is HG quota

Oh look, a goalscoring striker we had on the bench last season ... what a surprise.

I know its only one goal but it looks like the sort of goal Costa would bang in. Not too dissimilar to his one v Arsenal under Jose or City under Conte when Cesc assisted him, very similar sort of run, different finishes but still.

But yeah the lack of opportunities given to this guy last season was embarrassing considering the lack of goals over the season. Couldn’t of done any worse surely

I'm not championing Guehi, but we do reportedly have a 20% sell on fee, so if Palace want £50m for him, it will essentially be a £40m deal once that is factored in.

Pissing about with harvetz up top when this guy is much dangerous.  Shows how hopeless potter and Lampard are. Hope both never find a job again

Nice job! Just goes to show how massive the clearout has been this summer, squad costs are down by a huge amount for both salary and amortisation costs compared to last season.

Would be interesting to see a similar comparison to the 21/22 squad too. The squad last season was a hot mess with almost 35 players so it's only natural the costs have gone down a lot by simply trimming down the numbers but comparing the current player costs to the 21/22 version of our squad would give a better idea on the long term financial sustainability of what we have now.

Gone silent again on Caicedo again-zero updates since the other day when we were told an improved was coming.

Omari has gone to Ipswich on loan, all completed

Gone silent on ALL incoming business. Well actually we might be buying a £30m French striker……that we aren’t even planning to use this season. 🙄🙄🙄

We’ve done an incredible, almost impossible job of getting rid of all our unwanted players but already feel like we’re 2 steps behind all of our rivals in bringing much needed players IN. All of the midfielders our rivals have signed have already been playing multiple preseason matches and have been training for weeks.

Caicedo is the only player we MUST sigh as soon as possible. All other business will be decided after pre season. We have about 10 youngsters on the brink of the first team. Some will stay and some will go. Poch will make these important decisions. I hope we don't go into panic mode in the last two weeks of the window. We have a descent young squad and don't need to buy for the sake of buying.

Really makes it obvious that Sterling has to be held to extremely high standards to make it fair on the others who are on sensible money. If he is not top for goals and assists this year we have to get rid. I do think he deserves another year, but only just.
