He's much improved from his Boro loan days, however, £35m is madness.

£15m with add on seems more realistic.

I think 35 is too much but I guess we could get close to that with add ons that favour us - like a certain amount after 20 goals, or finishing in a European place etc. However, West Ham will buy him is my guess.

Agree,£35m is out of our reach for a Club that seeks bargain basement signings and 'frees'.

Ligue 1 (On loan from Arsenal) and USA striker. Sounds like a bit of bollocks. I mean sure, we'd want him but we're never parting with £35m, especially to Arsenal.
Thought I'd post it anyway.

Not unless it's full of conditions based on his performance e.g. goals scored.

Quite right too. Mad money for one half decent season in a league of not the greatest competitiveness.

 

MrRobbo Flag Chaldon 03 Jul 23 1.54pm

Good, 35 mill is silly money. Cant imagine anyone paying that.


 

Putitout Flag Oxford 03 Jul 23 2.07pm

If true 35 mill, they really don’t want to sell. Palace wouldn’t pay that for a player six times more experienced than this fella. If we are talking potential 35 mill goes way beyond that.
Another bit of Palace need a striker fantasy for me, most clubs in Europe wouldn’t bite at that price.

Arsenal are no world beaters let’s be honest and this guy isn’t even on their radar….yet they think he is worth £35 million ….based on what exactly? He is worth half that at most and even then you are over paying

Arsenal trying to recoup some of the money that they are having to lay out for Rice ?

I know he has just had a good season but tbh he was nothing more than OK while on loan here at Boro.

Again he is one of those who I rank as having a reputation greater than their ability because they have come from a `big` team. (Welbeck, Sturridge, Abrahams).

Could be part of a bargaining process? Maybe buy fir 25m?

I don't think so. My take is that Arsenal were miffed that Balogun won't go on another loan. They have purportedly told him to go and find another club and have set an artificially high price knowing that no club in their right mind would pay it but if a club was mug enough to do so then fine they can have him. If no club bites then Balogun will be left either not getting any 1st team game time at Arsenal or having to climb down and accept another loan move.

Lol, 50m would get you the pick of most strikers in world football.

Just seen a click bait headline that Palace are looking at this £50m striker.

LOL do they mean like I look at the Ferrari's in the showroom through the window and sigh "if only?"

Nobody will pay 50m, as good as i think he is, 30m tops

Knock a nought off the end and we might be able to walk in.

It’s not happening and we all know it. We haven’t got that sort of money. How about a cheeky season long loan for Smith-Rowe. He’s down the pecking order and we still don’t know about Wilf
