Possibly but if he goes elsewhere it'll cost a lot more than £30m, so if that buyout is correct, I can't see us not taking it up.

Isn't that to Ipswich's benefit?

Best of luck to him and turning around his life. He's had a hard few years.

Philogene shows why it'd be dumb to go back.

Didn't Aston Villa do something similar with Cameron Archer? Sold him to Sheff Utd, bought him back for the same fee then sold him for more?

It's OK if it's in the same window I guess.

Ipswich would rather we leave him be and they'd have an asset worth well over the £30m wed buy him back for.

Didn't this happen with Porro? But we somehow convinced Sporting to loan us him with the option to buy to get around it

From memory that was more about reducing the sell on we had with Sporting. Pay a bigger loan fee (not subject to sell on clause) and reduce the permanent fee (subject to sell on clause).

Suspect Sporting will find it much tougher to deal with us in future as a result.

Classic David Sullivan, won't bid 40M for him in the summer, now bids 57M even though we have no chance of signing him now.

Two areas we need reinforcing

Daniel Levy - recall Dane Scarlett from loan

 

[moomba]

Khusanov to City confirmed.

What a shame. I felt he was about to burst onto the scene.

He's a gun. Lyon are in a real bad way financially. Not good for Palace who share ownership.

 

[Zidane98]

Could be a gun this guy. Believe its a bit early for a PL move, should have spent another season at least in Ligue 1 before taking the plunge. If he develops as expected we then could have sold him for 40-50m with ease.

Unfortunately Blueco are fully aware of this and are pillaging Strasbourg as a result. There's a lot of fan discontent about this on the ground in Strasbourg over these sorts of deals which seem to be focused on the best result for Chelsea.

He'll stay at Strasbourg for another season or two.

I guess that shows how thick a few of their supporters are, they get more out of the marriage than we do. BlueCo has put more money into the club than anyone before them and has built a pretty exciting young team.
