Eagles playing at the World Cup

[Poshgit]

No but by the time he negotiated his contract extension and new release clause (the one he went to Bayern under) he was getting a load of interest from big clubs. Most speculation that summer was about him going to Chelsea.

The Olise situation with us was one of those where everyone got a bit of something they wanted. We got him for another year and a higher transfer fee than we’d have otherwise got. He got an improved contract and a release clause that wasn’t prohibitive for the big boys. Bayern ended up getting a world class player cheaply by football standards.

also didn’t he have quite a bit of time out with injuries when he was with us - maybe that would affect a top price sale - he seems more robust now

In the position he was in at the time, it's not as clear cut as that.

Nobody else was particularly interested. He'd been knocked back by all the "big clubs" prior to that. Do you think he would have just stayed at Reading another three years? His development wouldn't have been the same if he did.

We got him for a bargain price due to his release clause. Otherwise we wouldn't of had much of a chance to sign him. He then signed two contracts with us, both of which had release clauses in. If we hadn't have agreed to the release clauses then I don't believe he'd have signed with us/extend with us.

I'm not saying this is a bad reflection on anyone. Player or club. A lot of players are smarter these days in taking side routes to the top by moving to smaller clubs so that they can develop but asking for release clauses... Olise, Eze, Macalister, Semenyo to name a few. I'd be fairly certain Rayan and Kroupi have something similar at Bournemouth.

Olise is a clever boy. What we are seeing now is the result of an unusually sensible approach to career planning from a young footballer.

Anyway, release clause or not, any promising young player who joins us does so in the basis that they'll move on and up if they do well. In a way Olise , Eze, Guehi etc are all good adverts for joining palace. In another they reinforce the expectation that we are just a stepping stone, hence Mateta wants to take his turn, as will la Croix and whoever else. Fine if they play well to earn big moves as ours have. Not so good if they turn into rats deserting a sinking ship long before it's even sunk, as has happened at Leicester, Wolverhampton, Southampton etc in the recent past.

Olise will be going to Real Madrid next. After watching last night's game, imagine him and Mbappe in the same club team. It will be lethal.
Oh, and we get 15% of Bayern's profit. that could be £15-20m coming to us.

 

[viveasheagle]

I concur Olise is the best player i've ever seen play at Palace. One of the things is that he also qualified to play for England but chose France instead. I would make England favourites if Olise was in the English squad.

Bayern are on record of saying Olise is not for sale at any price citing they don't need the money and would rather keep their best players .
He is under contract until 2029 and no doubt Bayern will be putting a deal on the table to extend that .Some reports are saying they will be offering £25 million a year in line with their other top earners ,Kane and Musiala .

Olise though is Olise so who knows what he is thinking

we'd probably screw it up somehow if he played for England. Either trying to play too many players of the same ilk in midfield, or we wouldn't know what to do with his maverick style. Some of those slide rule passes that cut the defence last night were exquisite. And that change of pace where he decides to make something happen and go into beast mode is almost unstoppable.

Exactly, Bayern are one of Europe's biggest clubs but Real Madrid are THE biggest and the most successful in the Champions League

As I understand it Olise and his lawyer negotiated his contract at Palace and Bayern making sure that his previous teams receive a cut of the profit when he leaves. No agents were involved. He may well now have an agent to promote him but he doesn’t sound like that type of person. He always strikes me as a very private individual who chooses his Clubs carefully.

This is true. Apparently he uses Nike boots but doesn’t actually have a boot sponsor

I read recently that FIFA wants to make release clauses obligatory in new contracts now. I don't know how true it is or whether they will get it through, but that's gonna be yet another nightmare rule for small and medium size clubs.

I was just talking about this with a mate last night. Olise and Haaland both were born in England.

We could have had Olise spraying passes to Kane and Haaland. That would have been unstoppable.

It doesn't surprise me. UEFA lost a court case over this and the media wrongly described it as the end of transfer fees. It was nothing of the sort.

When you sign a deal with a utility company they specify what you will need to pay if you wish to get out of your contract, standard practice.

The same should apply to players. They sign with a club if they wish to break their contract they should know what the cost is upfront. In reality a player discovers their cost when a transfer deal is agreed, in other words post contract signing.

I know little about contract law but one the the main pillars is that a contract has to be fair to both sides. A player signing a contract without an exit clause value is not fair. What that value is or what other restrictions are added e.g. cannot be sold to another PL club is up to individual negotiation.

Release clauses will become standard and will make little difference. A club can always agree to sell above or below the figure as long as the player agrees.

He would have seen Saka as a potential block in the England setup. They are virtually the same age. Of course, ever since he returned from injury at the end of his time with Palace, he has proved himself the superior player

 

[Linford]

Generally not above, because no club is going to pay above the clause when the clause means their offer has to be accepted at that value. That's why they get written in in the first place.

it was stated last night during the France v Senegal game that no fewer than 53 players at this World Cup were born in Paris. We have to be thankful that the majority of them have decided to play for other countries.

 

[BromleyMonkey]

I did. It was a decent game actually.

The big teams are really disappointing me so far (Spain and France mainly), but smaller teams are doing bits.

I was really impressed with Iran. They seem to rely on powerful but precise long shots and long passes, well drilled, catching the opposition off guard. Mind you, New Zealand are not a strong opposition with the exception of Woods.

I enjoyed watching Cabo Verde, obviously their keeper had a worldy as well.

France looked impressive once they started putting a bit of effort in second half, but that’s the French all over, when they can be bothered……..I mean the football team in competitions, not the French people in general 🤣

We need to replicate that for Croydon

When will the Spanish (team) wake from their siesta?

When will the Spanish (team) wake from their siesta?

They had the wrong tactics and the wrong attitude. It was like watching one of our usual home games. No chance of ever scoring.
