Apparently PSG have a 40% sell on for Eduoard, no wonder Celtic want over £30m for him

Probably because of the fee and our no 1 target was Eze and he's taken up a good chunk of our available funds.

Villa were also after Abraham (apparently) and for obvious reasons given his loan spell with them but Abraham (again apparently) wants to fight for his Chelsea place, but as I've posted elsewhere he's looking no. 3 in the pecking order behind Werner and Giroud.

Probably in the minority here - but Watkins scored a load of goals in a very confident and all attack minded team, not sure what his conversation per opportunity is but having watched a fair bit of him on tv he misses plenty of chances he ought to finish too.
I don’t think he’d be as successful in a Palace - shirt unless we plan to play a much more on the front Foot. (Would love to see that).

He’s had such a high profile last season that it will ultimately come down to him to decide where he wants to go. We missed the boat on him last season and £25 million is a bit steep imo. Don’t think he’s worth that figure and I’d prefer a more clinical striker like Brewster (on loan) or even Batshuayi for similar money is proven at a higher level. Solanke, Maja and Mateta would offer similar for much less outlay imo.

Agree, we don't play to his style at all. A good CF, but he wouldn't achieve with us.

Initial asking price, £28m, ridiculous price. Pity but out of Palace price range

And this is why Watkins to Villa is another typical transfer window saga.

We can cross him off our list then UNLESS the unlikely event occurs and we get an acceptable offer for Wilf. Even then, the price is steep for a player who is unproven in the PL and who was well marshalled in the play-off final against Fulham.

At £28 mill they are welcome . He is a promising young player. Paying that sort of money to find out if he can unlock tight Premier defences has to be considered high, high risk.
