A highly paid 30yo with no re-sale value is not exactly part of the Palace model.

He will end up in Italy is my guess.

On loan for a year with us covering 150k of his wages wouldn't be the worst though. With Eze and Olise supplying him could be very useful.

Never gonna happen though unless he's desperate at the last minute.

I'd take him on loan, definitely. But definitely one where West Ham would end up guzumping us last minute, I feel.

Click bait is currently trying to dismantle our entire team:

Eze to Man City/Chelsea/ Tottenham
Guehi to Tottenham
Olise (still) to Chelsea
Andersen to Newcastle
Doucoure to Liverpool

All of them are reasonably expected to happen according to the “reliable” sources. It really is garbage journalism with each tabloid quoting other tabloids as their reliable source. Disgusting really.

It would cost us 7.8m and a fee, say 10m total, we would have to finish 7th to cover the loan, on last years 11th hmmmm

That has to be the comedy rumour of the window.

Played for Roy at West Brom. I suspect his £340k per week wage may make us think twice

Probably the same journalists that don’t think twice about saying, we are not very good and will struggle to stay up

He still scores for fun. With Eze and Olise supplying him he'd comfortably get 15+ goals, but seriously, he's on 340k per week at Chelsea is wanted by top Serie A teams and is never coming to us.

It's not an impossible scenario. The move to Juv seems to have stalled and i suspect when on loan Inter were only paying a % of his wages.

If we get to the last day of the window and offer a 1 year loan at say 50% of his wages i suspect Chelsea would at least consider it.

They are desperate to sell him, but there are few offers on the table. Even if the Saudis come in for him he may not want to go - he doesn't need the money.

SP likes a loan and has twice paid over £100k a week for Bats. Lukaku is a big step up.

Well we was going to pay wilf 200,000 a week and that works out to 10.4 million a year
So we have got the money there but I think it would have to be a last minute deal

Looks like it's going to deadline day for deals to materialise.
This is fraught with risk e g we think we're getting Henderson and a striker but at the last minute the deals falls through, and there's no time to conclude alternatives or the club then make less considered choices.
I'm all for driving a hard bargain, but that doesn't come without significant risk in particular with our thin squad.

Or here's another way of looking at it. 10m for a season with a striker who has roughly one goal contribution (goals and assists) every second game throughout his career.

Meanwhile we were happy to pay an even higher wage than that for Zaha for 3-4 seasons, who has a goal contribution roughly every 1 in 4 throughout his career.

For the record there's no way that Lukaku comes to us. However, last season in a 'bad' season for Inter he contributed 14 goals and assists in 37 appearances. He could be unreal with the right service.

What is the best way use our loan slots?

Big six academy player, low wages/fee, but:
Plays well, goes back, priced out of our range.
Doesn't play well, send back, now cheap, but don't want.

Experienced veteran, high wage/fee and:
Ready made player, could made a big impact quickly, expensive but not a long term commitment.
Could get injured, Prima Donna more likely to destabilise the dressing room atmosphere, less easy to control or even train and improve.

 


I am not a bot. No, seriously, I'm not.
