All we’ve done is pay him a higher signing on fee. He would’ve been snapped up if he was asking 80k We def given him quite a few mill up front Yeah that’s what I think. But the other £90k is £90k x 52 x 4 years = £18.7 mil. I doubt we’ve given him that much. Maybe there’s no release clause or a relatively low one so he can move to the top 6 pretty soon.

As much as I hope it’s not true, I get the feeling it probably is. How else would we land such a young talent above all those champions league teams on a “free” who were by all accounts put off by his wage demands. it’s starting to all add up now, although I still believe it’s good business there are several risks.
As for this financial difficulties nonsense, that BSer from Brighton seems to have put the bloody wind up everyone. Steve Parish may have his faults, but financial dork he ain't, so can we forget some Seagull's opinion about our impending third administration, because our three owners could buy and sell The Lizard 10 times over.

This lad has earned himself a reputation as a money-grabber, holding his club to ransom after deliberately running down his contract. His club suspended him for the final two games of their season after he complained of "bullying" by Schalke. I think it is reasonable to assume we are paying mental money to secure Max's services, considering clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal have been scared off by his demands. This is what he had to say about his old Sporting Director : "I just didn't want to be at Schalke anymore and work under Mr. Heidel. That's why [I didn't extend my contract]. Lately it just feels like bullying to me." Or Arsenal and Liverpool were never interested and it’s papertalk. Perhaps he was being bullied? Or perhaps we are paying a fortune for him and he’s a troublemaker. Reality is we don’t know and probably won’t ever know but to me it seems an excellent signing and if a top journalist that undoubtably knows more than all of us combined reckons its around 80k a week, that’s as close the the truth we’ll ever get. Young German international at 80k a week sounds like good business to me.

If Meyer is indeed worth 35M overall, that's still way less than Sakho and Benteke (fee+wages). And that 35M is over 5 years if he hits all his performance targets. He might end up costing us less than Schlupp (which I consider to be our most average player) but might have a much higher impact.

If someone big comes in for him in 3 years time, we'll make more than that 35million back on him so can only be a good deal for us in the long term.

Yes, I think that's what Parish is counting on too. His contribution on the pitch will help us become more established and the money we'll eventually get for him will allow to improve the squad in 2-3 years' time. Of course, it will be catastrophic (financially) if we go down and we can't sell him as we'll need to pay his wages and even half of his wage (if he goes on loan the host club pays half) would burden us. But hopefully that won't happen

Not so. I remember 2 weeks of house hunting or getting his family over while we were badly struggling. Luka Milivojevic didn't join until deadline day, 31 January 2017, the day we also played Bournemouth and he wasn't in the squad for the Sunderland game on 4 February; neither of which would be entirely unexpected. However he played 90 minutes in the next game against Stoke on 11 January, the first game he would have been reasonably expected to play in.

Instead of taking note of that Brighton muppet I’ve been reading some knowledgeable and intelligent posts on the BBS and we do have financial concerns regarding rules. Our wage bill being the 8th highest is a dead giveaway for a start. And our wage bill is 78% of revenue. The highest in the Prem, and that’s before signing Sakho and raising Zaha’s wage last summer and further business. A bigger and more comprehensive picture will be presented by the Swiss Ramble online when it’s published because they’re sure to do one. It will make interesting reading and Parish will be worth his salt if this season, the season I feared, is a successful one and a Zaha sale later on or not we don’t get relegated.

Hope I am not jumping the gun as we have not completed deal but If what I read is right Palace paying £170000 per week for someone who did not score any goals or assists last season and who it appears has been turned down by a number of big European clubs over his wage demands. At 22 to run your contract down is pretty unusual. Not sure what sort of message this sends to Wilf who cant agree a new contract supposedly considerably less than that quoted for Meyer. I appreciate Meyer is on a free but this represents £35m over next 4 years. Seeing his name in palace talk made me think we finally announced him, keep it to the dedicated thread in transfer talk until the point he is our player please.
