Hopefully get a ticket to the away end and watch him score the winner, been a long time since we got 3 points there 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season I watched quite a bit of u23s and he was always on the left. OK, I'd just seen his interview for Grimsby where he says he's a Right back who can also play CH, that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There doesn't appear to be details on his stronger foot online so I'm just making assumptions based on where we I thought we played him last season. I'm now doubting myself and thinking maybe he did play RB as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Seb Revan is a left-back and has played in central defence on a few occasions, as far as I'm aware he's never played right-back if he's said that that's his position it will have been a slip of the tongue. Others can play there but he's actually the only specialist left-back in the whole of the academy, that we've let him go makes me wonder more if there's any truth to the Thierry Small rumours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Semi-relevant as they're players that have been suggested in here previous, but Palace are trucking along quite nicely this window in terms of freshening things up. Olise, Guehi and have just announced Andersen as well as being in for midfielders apparently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how it works for them. I could see them having a pretty good season, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Viera pushes out a lot of the old guard and they end up going down with some half decent players that don't have time to blend like we did. On more points though as their squad is way better than ours was at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those players would get into our starting 11 right now, may turn out to be great for palace but we're buying at a level or 2 above that. I'd expect we're going after top proven players and those signings take time, particularly with a lot of top players still on holiday til next week.

WallisFrizz Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Anyone have any idea how much we can realistically spend this summer ffp wise if we keep Grealish? Say we’ve spent 33 on Buendia and hopefully, fingers crossed, 35 on Bailey. I’m hoping for a new midfielder of similar quality but not many clubs seem to be spending that much so not sure if we need to go cheaper or make do.

Was i correct in reading that we probably have another 30m ish to spend Czarn? (i assume thats 30m cash - so we could do 30m cash + 10m (for example) over X years, as its not counted in this yrs FFP etc?)

WallisFrizz Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Thank you @MaVilla I’ve just found that thread. I just found this which I think answers my question. I think (s)he’s basically saying we can afford Bailey on top of Buendia and Young and still possibly a further £20 mil player but only if we sell one or two squad players. Not quite as good news as I wanted but actually shows that we’re not just ‘spending the Grealish money’ we do appear to be spending within our means, but unfortunately aren’t going to be splashing the cash wildly if we manage to keep JG. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, numbers aren’t my strong point! That still leaves us about £10m spare (without any more outgoings and no major revenue increase), which basically allows you £30m player on £80k wage (£30m amortised over 5 years = £6m plus £4m wages), Bailey for example. However if you look closely, our 17/18 season will drop off from the calculations next year, and as it was a particulary bad year, it gives us another £10m or so to play with this summer. Selling Hourihane for example for £5m, frees up another £7m (£5m profit on the sale as he has hardly any value left on our books and £2m wages). That allows you a £20m player on £60k wage. So overall, it's not looking too bad, assuming we didn't go over last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So overall, it's not looking too bad, assuming we didn't go over last year. cool, so basically, with zero player sales, we can: 1) Afford 30m for a player (Bailey or similar), with an available salary of circa 80k. 2) We will then have roughly 10m to spare? 3) Any players sales can be added to the total(s) 4) so if we maxed out expenditure this summer, without any sales, we can expect to spend no more than 73m ish (33m - Buendia, 30m - Bailey (or similar), 10m - other) ? Is that a fair assessment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
