So much fake news about this one it’s difficult to establish what the truth is. There’s a handful of genuine ITK on twitter + the local journos such as Dom Fiffield. If these lot comment there’s generally some truth to it.

Blimey Aston Villa will have Sarr, Ings, Watkins, Buendia, Bailley, Coutinho, Young, Trezeguet, El Ghazi and Traore all battling for the 3 spots up front! All they need is a decent manager and they may win a few games with all of those! If they sign Sarr does that mean that Watkins or Ings can go?
One more point |

According to the rumours Palace were trying to increase the buy out clause without giving Olise any compensation. If true, why would anyone agree to that? My concern with Olise is the ankle injury. First tackle yesterday he was down holding it. Not sure he is fully fit

Certainly in private, and perhaps on HOL, I asserted that we were not going to pay a sum of £25Mill + for a player who mainly operates on the right when we already have Olise,Ayew and Ebiowei who fill that role. Edited by Willo (21 Aug 2022 6.11pm)

Starting to look like what we have is what we’ll end up with. No sure Sarr was the answer but we seem to be worse off than last year with strikers.

I would have thought we're definitely looking for a striker but that's not Sarr unless the plan was to change his position and play him through the middle. Out wide, he's a nice player but hardly fills a position of need. I'd also imagine that if he was a priority for us, we'd match Villa's offer but that seems not to have happened suggesting we're keeping our powder dry for other moves (Connor, CF).
Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God. |

The word was we are not replacing Benteke like for like. Instead would be looking at a wide player. Assuming this is why we are pursuing Sarr. It was said we would be revisiting old targets.. which again rings true here. Plan I believe is to play Wilf more through the middle this season but would require another winger joining, who would be a starter.

Seems Sarr has rejected Villa - failed to agree terms/not turned up for a medical. We also wanted to bring in 2 of their players in exchange as well. Newcastle were linked to him earlier in the day!

At the moment Watkins is marginally more welcome at Selhurst Park than Alan Mullery - no doubt if we signed him & he started to score goals we would eventually overlook his past being a "paper hat" issues. Originally posted by Qwijibo
