£15m is what they are asking.. Which is reasonable but wages is the issue

In my opinion much better than the other crap we're being linked to. As far as I'm concerned, he can take a pay cut, he's not going to get the wages at any of the clubs who are going to want him.

Agreed, better option than D Grey.

He was exceptional at youth level and has shown glimpses in the men's game, but development has definitely stalled.

There's risk attached as others have said - fairly big wages and no guarantee that he ever does find consistency in the professional game.

The potential upside is massive though - this is a player who was subject to £35m bids from Bayern Munich as an 18 year old, his talent is undeniable, and if he does find a home here and hit some form, we have a player at a level we would never have been able to sign.

If we're talking a £15m fee and £100k in wages... I'd be very tempted.

Same age as Clarke and similar transfer fee; one has never played higher than the Championship and next to no involvement with the national set-up even at youth-level... the other has never played outside the top flight and a fully-fledged England international.

Still reckon he's exactly the sort of player we should be considering. Still young (22), has lost his way but undoubtedly has/had potential and presumably nowhere near as expensive as he once would have been.

Might come here and do nothing, or Roy might sort him out like he has done with Eze and suddenly we have a player on our hands.

Yeah good point.

Lad is from Wandsworth too. He'd be close to home, playing in a settled PL side with some ambition (others may disagree!) and he'd be part of a similar cohort there with the likes of Olise, Marc, Mitchell, Ebz etc.

All round would make some sense but I doubt it.

 

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

100%

At the monies discussed c.£15m and 100k I think it makes sense. Tonnes of natural talent, and we've got demonstrable evidence of helping players improve. Especially Chelsea ones, RLC, Gallagher both having their best seasons with us.

Might sound crazy, but I'd take a gamble on this guy, over Wilf at 200k for 4 years

If we can get him for 15m and an acceptable wage on a five year contract, and he regains his old form, could be worth 80m in two years, i would certainly take the gamble.

Didn't he have some debilitating illness from which he struggled to recover. Didn't same happen to Edouard

I totally agree. We are just what the boy needs to kick start his career away from the glaring light of a top 6 club.

I do wonder if we have seen the best of Wilf, hope I'm wrong regardless of whether he stays with us or not.

Metro has report that AC Milan are now interested.

I would suspect that would be his preferred destination, given their status and that RLC has just gone there.

I saw that as well BUT will he get sufficient game time there? He wants regular football so needs to go to a club that has a shortage in the position(s) he can play. I have no idea if Milan fits that bill. They may simply want to boost their squad so as to have cover for a domestic league and Champions League campaign. IN other words, moving from Chelsea to Milan may be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire for both him and RLC.

Or it is a Chelsea fire sale and they were told they HAD to go; and this destination offered them the best money and European football.

I imagine they would prefer to play 1st XI and will set out their aim to achieve that. However, failing that, rotation/bench is a well paid 2nd best.

Either way, probably a move with more cache than coming to Palace which anyone would consider a lower order than AC Milan, despite the Prem/London/starter issues.

Fingers crossed on this one.

We now need a LW

He's a local boy, used to go to Trinity I think

taylors lovechild Flag 06 Jul 23 10.18am

My concern with Hudson-Odoi is one of attitude. Will he be an Eze and want to prove doubters wrong, or will he a Dele Ali and just want the pay cheque. His application and attitude were previously questioned at Chelsea, so it is a genuine concern. On paper he should be a great signing, but so much of how far a player goes is dependent on their attitude, perhaps even more so than ability (although of course natural ability is important). He hasn't really done much to shout about in recent times so it is all very much an unknown and the fact Chelsea might (supposedly) be willing to go as far as terminating his contract should set some alarm bells ringing.
