Ismaïla Sarr

If Sarr goes then our right side goals are gone in an instant with Munoz leaving as well.

We score very few from the left and with Mateta out even less through the middle. That’s relegation football right there and if Sarr goes this window then that’s where I see us going.
 
The funny thing is the asking price is now rumoured to be £75 million ( without the hubcaps).
Maybe Liverpool will now go back for Minteh, who was their original choice.
£75m for Sarr is probably about right considering the market, his contract length, and his proven output in the prem, Europe and World Cup.

However, his value to palace is more than that. However do you replace that many goals?! It’s another shocking end of transfer window and can only see us ending Tuesday in a bit of a state as a team.
 
There are players who leave the club in the right way, and our fans don't begrudge it, even if we're sorry to see them go. Guehi, Eze, Olise, and now Munoz are among them.

Then there are the players who leave the wrong way. They submit transfer requests, refuse to train, make statements on social media, and let their performance drop, etc. Zaha and Mateta are two of those examples, and, quite frankly, at least in my mind, it taints their legacy.

Never thought Sarr would be among that group; he seemed a good lad. It's very disappointing.

Quite frankly, he should have insisted on a built-in release clause, but given that his career was in the doldrums when we signed him, I suppose it didn't occur to him. We have revitalized him and given him a long, well-paid contract.

If he doesn't want to be here, it should have been sorted at the start of the window. Once again, Liverpool is coming in late and causing problems. I hope we make him stay, and Sage can get him firing again, even if I'm going to spend the season thinking he's a bellend now.

Spot on, without his pace up front we look pedestrian and lacking in energy going forward

On the point of his wanting to be here - I honestly couldn't give a flying fvck if he wants to be here. He's a professional footballer who's well rewarded for his time.
 
It's a catch 22 isn't it? On one hand we should be doing everything in our power to keep him but on the other hand if he is refusing to train, then that is a breach of contract and we should take him to the cleaners. No one player is more important than the club and if he thinks that by not training and throwing his toys out the pram is the way to go then sorry but f**k you Sarr. Where would you be now if we hadn't kickstarted your career. It obviously shows that contracts mean s**t nowadays with these primadona's. No loyalty at all. If he goes, I hope he gets injured in his first match and fails miserably. Saying all that, I actually like the guy 🤷🤣 Just can't be putting up with treacherous turncoats. Maybe it's a sign of me getting older and just don't take bulls**t like I used to.
 
apart from the clickbait in the know stuff, we dont know what is going on, i am sure any of us, if we got offered a new contract for double your salary would jump at the chance. In the odd world of top level football at least the original employer gets some money, rather then in the real world.

Agreed and it puts into context how classy Guehi was when (1) he didn't get the January move to Liverpool and (2) he subsequently got the move to Man City. His leaving video interview is well worth a rewatch.

His value to us is f*** all if he wants out. I don’t want him to go but I also don’t want a Mrs that’s doesn’t actually want to be with me. Better to pull the plaster off now and rebuild with a new team now. The cup winning team is long gone now.

I don’t disagree….. but we are showing all our players that striking is how to get out. And once transfer window closes he’ll soon start playing again. Just like Mateta.
 
We badly need experience and leadership I would trade Sarr if we have to and surely 75m gets you Richarlison, McGinnis and Elliott. No more prospects go out and sign at least two established top players.

Fully agree. It's why I always think the "they've done so much for the club" line is bollocks when trotted out. Think Zaha tried it. No, you're paid more per week than most people get in a year to run around kicking a ball. You are owed nothing and should be counting your blessings.

In 48 hours If he is still with us whats he going to do? What would you do?
Put your career first, knuckle down and play out your skin so there is still interest in you in January?
Or maybe put your ego first. Bitch, whine, sulk and refuse to train leaving Liverpool feeling that they dodged a bullet with that one!

I'd agree if this happened in July, but it would take a miracle to replace him at this late stage, and we'd probably either overpay massively for a replacement, or end up with another Johnson. I'd tell him that the club will entertain an offer in January if the conditions are right (ie we're not in a relegation fight and have a replacement lined up). The club is bigger than Sarr, and sometimes you have to put your foot down. We salvaged his career, which was stagnating when we got him, so he owes the club more than acting like a spoiled teenager.

One of them couldn’t hit a cow on the arse with a banjo, one of them is on his way to Valencia, and I don’t know who the f*cl the third one is but overall I’m not sure it’s the best use of £75 million.

I'd look at my payslip and reflect my months money would take some people ten years to earn.
