Reasons Sarr won’t go to Fenerbache:
1)He’s under contract until 2029.
2)As one of our best players the Club would not let him go particularly after upsetting the fan base with the Lacroix transfer.
3)They can’t afford a massive transfer fee and wages.
4)Why would he want to play in Turkey particularly with the blatant racism of the fans there? I’m sure Wilf’s unhappy stay there is a warning.
5) From a purely footballing perspective why go from the best league in Europe to one which is middling at best?
Enough to calm everyone down?
Reasons why Lacroix would’nt go to Chelsea
1) He was under contract until 2029
2) He’s our key defender after having already sold Guehi and an integral part of our trophy wins
3)Chelsea aren’t even in Europe (unlike us), change managers as often as some change underpants and already have expensive under utilised centre backs
4) His form at Palace enabled him to make the breakthrough into a very competitive French international team.
Reasons why Lacroix would go to Chelsea
1) They probably doubled his wages.
The new reality is that all our players are for sale.
We can’t even bluff successfully any more.
Does anybody remember the scenario with Guehi last summer?
Apparently we told Liverpool that if they wanted Guehi , they would have a deadline of a few weeks before the end of the window to complete to enable us to source a
replacement.
And yet on the last day of the window there we were trying to flog Guehi at the last minute and line up Igor Julio as a panic replacement which fortunately never materialised .
Modern day football for you, despite the fact that we are supposedly in the richest 30 or so clubs in the world.
