Lacroix

[wilelliott88]

Defenders tend not to attract as bigger offers as forwards. Eze and Olise were around the 60mill mark. 40-50mill would enable us to get two replacements. Not saying I like it but if he goes that's what I'd expect.

Chelsea are valuing Gusto at £75 mil....

What!, James is on 200k a week, Re-signed 3 months ago, with a 70k increase, what do you think Lacroix thinks looking at that list

Players on big wages were there before the new regime. They won't be paying any new signings 200k.

They now have incentivised contracts.

Chelsea don't pay massive wages now. They have a strict policy.

Yes they’ve had to reign it in other wise they would’ve been in serious trouble, they would’ve had to have found something else to sell other than a hotel or their ladies team.

 

[Rogers 11]

Lacroix said he wants to play in the Champion's League, so why would he want to go to Chelsea? They're not in it.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Rizla is going to Roll on....

 

[Mr Palaceman]

Hopefully Johnson and or Nketiah !

Johnson needs a full season. He’s undoubtedly a good player, he just hasn't settled. As for Nketiah, he may well have a lot of talent but he's never fit enough to find out.

We need to sell while people still remember he was an Arsenal player, much admired by Arteta...

When I heard that we were about to purchase Nketiah and the price involved I genuinely believed that the chap was joshing and my response was "Pull the other one".
I had seen Nketiah 'Plough his furrow' for both Arsenal and Leeds and I was not overwhelmed by his performances. In fact I might have expressed these sentiments on HOL.

It's the usual scenario with any of the top 6, they want crazy money for their offcasts & poor purchases, players they've deemed unworthy yet expect to get every top performer from lower teams for peanuts.

Your expressing is legendary you need a Boswell to record them.

Johnson is ‘undoubtedly a good player’? Can I have some of the drugs you’re on please ?!!

Do you not listen, they raised his salary by 70k in March and gave him a 7 year contract.

Oh my word, I accept your kind sentiments with good grace, humility and gratification, however I do not view my prose as being orotund or worthy of 'Legendary' status.
Words just emerge like flakes of 'Ready Brek' in a sea of skimmed milk.
Veneration should be aimed at all those who grace HOL with their wit, wisdom, knowledge and insight. I am not in such exalted company.

It's hard to listen to print. 🤣

Reese James is the captain and Chelsea's best player. He was given an incentivised pay rise.

As I said. No one joining Chelsea will be paid a massive wage.

Our top 4 earners earn over £100 or more millions. Lacroix could join them if we want to keep him.

Its why i always am reluctant for Palace to sign castoffs from Giants. Arsenal always sell us expensive duds.
