Ben Doak

Wondering if we've made a rod for own back with the success of Eze, Olise, Wharton and Guehi. Teams know that if we see something in these players they're probably going to increase in value and hike the price up.

Maybe or maybe Liverpool can point to their record of developing young players into very good EPL performers. TAA, Curtis Jones and Joe Gomez are all very good. They may be thinking they don’t want to sell somebody for £20 who could be worth three times that in a couple of years.

Or maybe we have pulled a fast one, everyone thinks we wont him, and we are after someone else, that would be very clever, hang on a minute 🤔

This is my feeling: he won't want a permanent move. At a guess, we could sign the goalie we're linked to, terminate Turner's loan, and get Doak on loan until the end of the season. Guehi to join them either now or at end of season. Just guessing.

Turner going would open another loan possibility.

Well I think when it comes to us dealing with Liverpool they've historically had us over a barrel anyway. Reckon we're still owed compensation after paying £60m for Benteke and Sakho!
 
I don't know much about Doak but I do know about signing players from Liverpool and therefore I hope Palace are sensible this time and walk away when the asking price escalates into the unreasonable. The last time we had value for money from that club was when we signed Peter Wall !

In terms of alternatives, James McAtee is one that I like. Could be another Cole Palmer type of departure from City. Although Pep was praising him at the weekend so maybe now reluctant to sell him.

I don't mind addons if they are sensible e.g. appearance or goals scored.
 
I reckon £22m tops for Doak. He’s good but still unproven at Premiership level so that is more than enough.. Liverpool have form for screwing us over price wise so we need to be prepared to walk away and demonstrate we’re no soft touch.

We also don’t want this to distract us from getting some back-up for Mitchell. I shudder to think what happens if we do nothing on the wing-back front and he gets injured. One thing is certain, Parish and Freedman would have big wet faces.
