Whether those PL clubs get near Dragan’s valuation is another story.

I'd of thought there were some major concerns about spending £30m on him when he didn't exactly shine in the PL last time.

Shea Charles back at Staplewood today.

cook is so last year mate.

He's got elite rizz and aura 

If Azon is statmaxxxing like that then Archer, Diaz and Downs are getting mogged

Apparently Tolaj from Plymouth is on the verge of signing for Bristol City for around £3.5 million, think we should have been all over him for that. Would be a good option to have in the squad and a good potential Stewart replacement.

Agree. Good player especially at that price.

We said 100 million for Dibling, as I recall 🤪

No we didn’t that was the spurs people who said that for some reason 

[Saint_lambden]

Melayro Bogarde is one Spors likes and we scouted a couple of times last season. Knows him well from his time at Hoffenheim. Defensive midfielder so would be guessing that if he did come in he would be a Charles replacement.

Dont forget the X factor, in this case Tonda X-ert. If people are comfortable in their surroundings it may be difficult for them to leave even by the temptation of more money and a 'bigger' club.  Are there really that many better places to be than SFC right now, this group of coaches and players really seem to have developed a regimental camaraderie?  

Better the devil you know?

Dragan's player valuations are maybe his polite way of saying FO to other clubs, while also creating the impression of not standing in a player's way?

Como president just confirmed that they've received a bid from an unnamed club for Ivan Azon

What are you talking about? It's a negotiating tactic and it's the same every season.

Is that view based on his scoring record at Ipswich?

[hypochondriac]

Good to see the team coming together somewhat. Players we can be confident will be here next year as a minimum are 

Peretz/Long

Bree/Roeslev Stephens/wood -Quarahie Manning/Wellington

Fellows/Matsuki Downes Bragg - 

Azaz/Dobbin 

Larin/- 

That's already a decent team even if the worst happens and we lose most of THB, Jander, Charles, Scienza and Edozie who we will inevitably replace. My total guess is that THB, Edozie, Jander and Charles will leave and we keep hold of Scienza. That means we will need at least one CM probably two, a striker, a cb and an alternative left winger. Another five signings to go in that scenario.

[Willo of Whiteley]

I’d like a striker that can score goals, not sure that’s too much to ask 🤷🏻‍♂️

[hypochondriac]

Losing Scienza would no doubt be a blow but the reality is we don't need him to go up. If we were to get 30 million for him that could be put to good use. Obviously rather keep him though.

I would be astonished to see him at Spurs. But if he can get that dream transfer then fair play to him.

That's how I see it. No player is turning that down realistically. Let's hope there's nothing to it. A mid table prem side we might just be able to fend off for a season but not someone like spurs.

Regarding Sceinza is what it is, if he has alot of interest great get a bidding war going.

If it allows us to strengthen in two posting further then what's not to like....

Spurs want him?   £400m

Yeah, Spurs aren’t spending £180m and then buying a 27 year old Championship winger, however good he is.

Would like him to stay but he gets an offer of £25m or over, can see him and Saints looking at that seriously.

Can’t blame him really and although I agree that many of the links are his agent, Palace 1) need to strengthen in that area, 2) can afford it, 3) second successive season of European football where they should go deep into the competition.

Probably, if you want strength, hold up play, movement and decent speed as well…

I am happy that we are looking at the type of strikers that will suit our style, and not players like Armstrong. Goals will come from all over the team (bar Fellows 😉) so I think other attributes are more important.

A podcast from a neutral this morning made the point that we were perhaps trying to spread the burden of goals across the team rather than relying on one individual to get 20 goals. Maybe our transfer business makes a bit more sense if you look at it like that. Having this Azon character didn't do Ipswich any real harm after all.

I'd be more reassured if you could tell us he definitely isn't leaving.

Very logical but I /we don’t go to matches to improve the gross profit. We go to watch the team and most of all the one player who has got a bit of magic about him. One bit of skill per match is probably enough regardless of score line. I do mnt know how many more matches I will get to see so I’m kind of greedy. I want to see what Leo can do this year. I don’t care what his transfer to those tosses in North London might facilitate in terms of new CM’s etc. Leo is a once in a long time player. A joy to watch at times. Not many of them around but if playing he’s worth the ST / home  or away ticket alone irrespective of the other 21 players.

I’m sure DT will tell you my track record on the one player I didn’t think would leave.

But he’ll forget to tell you about the two that I called about three weeks before they signed. 😂

A winning team trumps all in the end, but I agree about having those kind of players - and hopefully we can have both next season!

I believe that if Leo is happy to stay, then he will not be sold, and we will reject all bids. But if he is angling for a move, we will probably sell him when the offer reaches a certain value.
