Gotta be Tuchlieban. Sell him and buy McTominay for more physicality .
Seems they want Palhinha instead.
I like Palhinha but 80m is crazy.

I like Palhinha but 80m is crazy.
Premier League top 6 club doing dumb shyt like that doesn't surprise me but Bayern is a bit more surprising, I guess they're going all out for CL.
Palhinha went to Fulham for €20m. Boubacar Kamara went to Villa on a free transfer. Bruno Guimaraes went to Newcastle for €40m. Even Tonali for €60m is a steal.
I guess big clubs would rather pay double, triple, even quadruple than do their own scouting

That's the price they quoted to West Ham when they came asking. And I'm sure that's the price they told Liverpool when/if they made enquiries. He's worth 80m to Fulham especially when he has 4 years left on his contract.
And much like United Fulham have been a poor selling club over the years.

It's better for the Top 6 clubs to wait and see if the player adapts to the league. That's why they rather sign them after the fact when they could of gotten them cheaper a year or 2 earlier.
That's understandable, they have enough money to spend on a 'sure thing', but at least take a chance on a couple of PL unproven players. Especially when they're cheap, relatively young and play positions that are hard to fill
Fergie bringing in random players was always fun, even though some were definitely just agent payoffs and he never saw play before

The issue is because the CL money is so important now and so much competition for the 4 places. They aren't taking the risks like that anymore. Even Spurs have thrown that into the bushes and they were the one club who would take the risk out of the top 6. Djed Spence already bushed without getting a real shot.

I suspect a combination of things. Agents pushing Palmer towards Chelsea instead of whats best for his career. Doku signing and Palmer wanting more game time.
I know we have the Pep
thing. But it's out there that Pep doesn't like miserable players or players who aren't training right. That's why Cancelo was bushed and why others been dropped one season and finish on the bench and then the next season become an automatic starter. Like Bernado Silva Stones etc...They're making Chelsea black again
Yeah but if that's the case, why are they selling this guy
This is nothing compared to the legendary Wesley Sneijder year or Thiago.This is the longest rumoured transfer ever
Hell is the hold up?!
Hold up seems to be FFP or the board won't let us sign more players until we sell first
