I'd be surprised if we spent £35m on Schuurs even if MG or JA were sold for big money.

I'd have thought we're far more likely to put Richards in as starting CB and then look to bring in someone like Ronnie Edwards for a a much smaller fee than Schuurs.

I think we're just being used by agents to flush out other offers. I'm not sure I've seen anyone reliable link us to him, it's all been Italian outlets and places like Football Insider/HITC.

This has all the hallmarks of agents or Torino, trying to push Liverpools buttons. Palace just don’t need to spend this kind of money , unless they sell one of our two centre backs.
The click bait is all over the place on it, first it’s £30 mill then£35mill now it’s £40 mill Torino, are looking for. And the player likes the Palace terms, but of course he would sooner go to Liverpool. Is anyone surprised?
This could happen but only if we sell ,and Liverpool are not interested enough.

Perr Schuurs looks like it's going pear shaped.

I think you mean €35 m roughly converts to £30 mill, finger problems?
Which is what they say we have offered., after originally the talk was €30 mill was pretty well there. Now though the click bait crowd say Torino actually want €40mill , so even the €35mill offered is stretched again.. cant help feeling something getting pulled.

A lot of their fans seem to dislike him but he would be good for us. Fast - which we could sometimes do with at the back. My criticism would be - what is he best at? I suspect sweeper, but no one really uses them anymore. I would say he's better centrally but probably better than what we have on the right currently (which isn't exactly our strong point). I'd suspect silly wages but whatever fee could be knocked right down, I reckon. I wouldn't want to pay much. I've suspected he can't be fully happy at Liverpool but am just saying that completely off the top of my head.

We have never got a bargain from Liverpool, the opposite in fact. They are too clever for us and we should steer well clear of dealing with them however tempting it looks on paper.

He was good at defending free kicks.

I hate to criticise fellow Palace fans…but I’d suggest anyone considering Gomez as an option hasn’t been watching Liverpool for the past two years. He’s not a prem class defender…let alone a player that helps secure a top 10 position in the league. We’ve had better CBs at the club in Dann and Tomkins.
