Re: Jørgen Strand Larsen- Opening bid rejected/ Palace considering offer

Post by CUSSIE01 »

If Crystal Palace get £35/40m for Mateta and pay £50m for Larsen it’s only costing them £10/£15m. Even if we sell Piroe it’ll still cost us £35m +. Not worth it imo. If we do well & stay up we’ll have better options in the summer and players wanting to come to us and not a last option.
Let’s hope Larsen turns out to be a flop & Palace get relegated, DCL keeps banging the goals in and if Piroe finally gets a chance he proves everyone wrong 🙏🏻

January madness, as soon as Mateta requested to leave we were never getting Larsen.

Shouldn't we be on the phone to Palace ... Mateta is worth more than JSL

A loan signing would be good.

Evan Ferguson would be a shrewd signing.

Embarrassing comments.

Paraag was at the Everton game, so maybe.....

I'm amazed we haven't even considered Troy Parrott and he wouldn't cost 50m either, scored a hat-trick against Ajax recently also, but I'm honestly glad we didn't get Larsen as that would have been way to costly and risky

Hasn't woken up yet.

Soon he will spring into action as poor Adam Underwood tries to explain that he isn't the tea boy to Jorge Mendes and is actually in charge now

He's at Roma on loan.

I sense a Joel Piroe redemption story here.

So, we've missed out again on another quality player, as we did in the summer with Muniz and Paixao and all the players Sunderland swooped in for.

Useless recruitment team, their capability is up to the level of Sean Longstaff.

The recruitment team needs replaced.

Genuine question... would you have been happy shelling out £50m for him? Wouldnt be our first choice striker either...

life of a newly promoted team, not really our recruitment team's fault unless we want to pay well over the odds for players

50 million for strand larsen is an insane amount of money for him - glad we're sticking well clear

should have had backup options though - as I've said multiple times, all those around us are strengthening and will start picking up more points. Our shortsightedness may cost us again

Do we need a contingency? If DCL gets injured I am comfortable with Nmecha playing his role. Similarly happy with a 2 man combination out of DCL, Nmecha, Piroe, Okafor or Buanonotte.

Maybe next season we need to improve but what we have had this season has been good enough.
