Joensuu Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 Palace need to sell, so the price is determined almost entirely by the number of rival bidders. I'm sure that Palace, Watford, Pompey etc will all be bombarded by opportunistic bids on the last day of the window... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 Just spoke to a Palace supporting mate at work here in London, and apparently he's pretty handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 Mate of mine at work is a Palace ST holder - he said this about him: "Yeah, I like him. Got him from Benfica a few years ago and he's pretty reliable. Scores the odd goal as well. Makes the odd blooper from time to time as does anyone at this level. Would be a good buy for any Championship or L1 side but I think we would take that sort of money for him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 £1.5M sounds like an awful lot of money to pay for an average Championship defender. He's obviously a good player; my mate is a Palace fan and says he's been one of their better players in the last few years and would be gutted to see him go for less than a million. But to me it seems like a huge sum of money. Still, in Pards we trust... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 I think the valuation is what he's worth to us. With him, Jaidi and Ward as our three main CBs, and Perry and Thomas as backup, our squad would look immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonManager Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 I would say a bid of this magnitude would be seen as an investment in the future in that the club would see him as a player to be with us all the way back to the top flight. If so, then the price is relatively low, regardless of the league we find ourselves in at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 £400,000 every home game based on the tickets being an average of £20 each and the attendance being 20,000. Now if you disagree then you're entitled to that, but I really don't think our wage bill is THAT high. So far then, over all our home games we have made £5,800,000 (including the extra 10,000 for Exeter, and NOT including any of the cup games).

For the sake of arguement an average player wage of £4k pw x 20 players = £4m. Add another £3m for running costs. I'd say we're doing ok without before any transfer budget agreed by Herr Liebherr.

Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 We DOUBLED Lamberts wages. Just to be pedantic And I agree, but the figure I got just then was lower than the actual figure would be - if we assume on average everyone spends £5 at St Marys on a match day, that's another million quid.

I know it's if's and but's, but that's what investment is - a calculted risk. The statement of intent by ML/NC when they took over was clear. I guess we have to trust them.

Well, Pompey are certainly a cautionary tale for us to bear in mind. I think there is a qualitative difference though. Firstly, we are not buying these players on debt. It's pure and simple, good old fashioned benefaction from Markus. Secondly, we have some assets above and beyond a squad of players. Thirdly, our ownership structure is very simple.

Personally, i don't think this is the case but you never know Cortese has repeatedly said they have not taken on any debt. Now, I don't see how we can afford, on League One income, to sign Lambert for £1m, Jaidi's wages, Connolly's wages, KD's wages etc... in the long-term. I'm sure we're being well managed but I expect that when the rope gets tight, Markus gives it some slack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the dell days, like house prices everythings going up, and to be fair I always wondered how L2 / Conference sides managed to survive on 2,000 crowds. If they can't balance the books they shouldn't be in the league. We are here by default. The whole idea of the -10, and last years bankruptcy are a bad dream. If you've been around as long as your name suggests you'll recall that the sort of money we've spent in the past (even at CCC level) makes this seasons spending look like "tea-money" compared to then. The real secret is surely we have a playing staff on " more reasonable " salaries rather than some of the prev. "stars" who collected every week and never played on a regular basis. There are far more players on the market now and many of them are "free/Bosman" types. Half of the present squad didn't cost any fee at all, so we can afford to splash out on good players sometimes.
