Lacroix

I don't wish him well at Chelsea. Which is a shame.

I think Max's valuation was a bit on the light side, and the amount agreed suggests perhaps a release clause of 60m Euro.

Van Hecke only had 1 year left of his contract.
Konsa will be 29 in 2 months and Romero is 28 (not 26) and despite playing regularly for Argentina has had a mix prem league record and also openly asked to leave.

Max is 26 and had 3 years left of his contract and was not on silly money. All these should have enabled Palace to extract maximum value - unless there was a release clause.

With Van Hecke they paid a premium as they specifically wanted him.

This is worth a look:

Some of the stats near the bottom are quite insane

I guess Chelsea may treat their game against Hull as a sure thing but Lacroix is on the bench today. He hasn't impressed to date

 

[MarkA333]

Disasi looks better than Lacroix.

No he hasn't , defending 10-15 yards higher isn't his game .

Dropped to the bench today. That didn't last long. Along with Eze. Grass isn't always greener

Well not for the next 3 games due to his straight red!

Why the fcuk is this thread still going, you lot sound like 15yo's who've been dumped. He's gone, transfered, no longer with us, wasn't that good, despite the love in with posters.

He's looked shocking for them.

That's kind of how message boards work

Not great timing.

Spot on. Eze will spend a lot of time on that Arsenal bench.

Here we go again. God forbid we talk about football and football related matters on a football fans forum.

The thread title is ‘Lacroix’ no one is forcing you to read or comment on a thread you seem to have zero interest in.

 

[Winter_Raven]

So did you

Correct but I'm not moaning about the thread.

 

[Winter_Raven]

Correct. But check the context.

Disasi reminds me of Sakho so far, committed, gives his all, but a bit ragged and now we can add ill disciplined

That’s a good comparison. His reputation at Chelsea was as an athletic, committed centre back who had occassional disastrous moments. I still think we needed a calm organiser in the window. Somebody like when Gary Cahill came to us. In fairness to the club I am not sure who that would have been though
