Mamadou Sakho

[labourRed]

Even if we agreed a fee, I don't think he'd join them.

It would appear he already has.

[Buzzo]

Sakho is worth £30m in this market so it will be interesting to see how the his plays out.

[labourRed]

Initially I thought our stance of £30m was a bit too high, but since then we've been quoted £70m for VVD, Ake has moved for £20m and Keane for £31m.

Sakho was excellent for Palace during his time there, he's 27 and proven himself to be a top player, yes he has baggage but given the circumstances £30m seems fair.

Same.

It's an inflated market. We only want to pay £50m for Keita and they want £70m. All these transfers are massive ballache.

Link?

Or is that a whoosh because of the loan?

Ultimately, he's only worth what someone is willing to pay, and there is no stampede at our door.
Injury may only partly explain that, but he's not a player in demand by any means.

Don't be mugs by any means, but if he has no future here, the club need to secure a deal.

I think it's because he 'has a deal' with the club, but no detail anywhere on what this is. HAVE PALACE BEEN TAPPING UP OUR PLAYER?

How do you know?

Call me cynical, but to preserve his reputation with the fans, I think Sakho is letting them think he would sign when he knows there is realistically no way they'll pay £30m or match his wages.

There will be much better clubs than Palace willing to take him on.

I don't, but we may as well close down any transfer in/out speculation on the site, if we were dealing in known and proven facts.

All things being equal, I don't think it's unfair to suggest Palace as the main interested party. Maybe there's a whole host of European heavyweights waiting to move in and turn it into a 30-40m super transfer battle royale for an inconsistent and apparently troublesome player.

Doubt it though.

We probably have a figure we'd like as well as a figure we don't mind. Its not an indemand transfer by any means.

No, it doesn't have to be fact, I'm just wondering what you are basing your opinion on?

I've seen him linked to a few clubs, even though it is most likely made up ****, but just wondering how you come to teh conclusion he's not wanted 4 days into the transfer window?

I think the club will hold out for the £30m for as long as possible.

Could come down to a game of chicken in the end. We know that clubs will become more desperate in August when they miss out on their primary targets and clubs know we'll de desperate to offload rather than rot in the reserves again, so could come down to who blinks first.

Whether we get the £30m or not is another story, but I'll be very surprised if there aren't a lot of clubs monitoring teh situation to see how it develops.

[McDermotX]

I never said he's not wanted.....just that he's only worth was someone was willing to pay. Any ideas of valuation against the likes of VVD or Stones or whatever can be dismissed very easily.
Since he's fallen out of favour there's only been a hint of a handful of teams even remotely connected and one of those had bounced him out to us under an air of, shall we say, unprofessional-like behavior which has been in evidence during his time with us.
Ultimately, there appears limited interest......same as there was back when he was told he had no future with us. Certainly nothing along the lines of what some of our fanbase suggest Sakho's quality should command.

If someone else comes in and jacks up the price.....fantastic, cause Klopp's got no time for him.

[labourRed]

I really like Sakho but as pointed out above, his performances on the pitch cannot be taken in isolation.

Hopefully he knuckled down at CP (it was only six months) and they've enough money as not many clubs usually dish out £30m for a CB.

I reckon he'll end up there and it'll be for about £20-25m with a range of add ons and sell ons.

Closing in on a move maybe.

Well great if we really have received "a flood of enquiries" but in this world where nothing stays secret for more than about 5 minutes it seems incredible that there hasn't been any publicity around them.

Like **** there's been a flood of enquires....Palace want him but not at £30million
