Palace Summer 2026 transfers?

[Canterbury Palace]

The o’ Brian deal had textor written all over it!!

Oh yeah, that's what I mean. He absolutely stitched us up. Then got us thrown out of the Europa for Forest. Then sold Forest all of Botafogos best players. Absolute mutant.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

We were stitched up on the O Brien fee but not sure he's all that really.

As for Imray, £5m for a 23 year old who has never played for us is very good business. Suspect if he was going to be Prem level we'd have seen it by now.

It's unfortunately the brutal reality of the game. Some get endless first team chances while others never get a look in. Good luck to him for the rest of his career.

Good for the accounts too as I think money received for academy players seems to be treated slightly differently

I wouldn't be so quick to offload all our fringe players. However, I do struggle to see a future for JRS and possibly Esse, but Devenny has been a useful if limited bench option and Ozoh in the limited game time this season has been the one midfielder who's done what Sage has asked, namely pass forward through the lines or drive forward where he has the space. At 21 and with 2 good seasons in the Championship with Derby behind him, I'd be inclined to keep him as a squad option. Rev Doucoure, it's too soon to know whether or not he can regain sufficient ability and confidence to be a genuine midfield option.

I’d definitely offload JRS. Not going to make it in our first team squad. Financially, Nketiah would be the best one to go if we can get any sort of decent fee given he’s on large wages. Esse has completely failed to impress in his time here. Ozoh I’d be keener to hang on to as squad cover given how poor our options in midfield are. I still think Championship is his level but as a squad option he makes sense

David Price would comfortable sit in the top 5 worst players i have ever seen at Palace, and there is a lot to pick from.

Wasn’t he a make weight in Peter Nicholas going the other way? I seem to remember being fairly pleased because as someone else said he was decent at Arsenal and played in cup finals, so I was shocked how bad he was

It's not treated differently per se put it is 100% profit so goes directly to the bottom line - profit.

All transfers out get recorded as full value on day 1 , whereas a purchase can be spread over a 5 year contract.

So buying and selling players for the same value within a window can have a significant short term impact on a club's P/L account

No amortisation I believe
