Sounds very steep! Do they actually want to sell? I think somewhere between £15-20M is much more realistic as he comes with a history as well. He is a solid defender though and was one of the reasons for Palace's good spell near the end of the season. When he got injured their form dropped again.

The world has indeed gone mad.
Wolves are buying an £18M player to go alongside their £13M winger and average Premier League players are moving for £20M+.
Unsustainable madness funding by satelite TV which is going to be replaced by internet streaming at some point in the not too distant future.

Gibson would be £25m max. Whatever Porto want to sell Bruno must be way less. How much would Murillo be £15m?

Money's just a human construct existing mainly as just numbers in computer data, it's been bonkers since we first invented the stuff, especially in football! .. great player, sign him up Sparky

This 30 million has be weighed against the risk of relegation, which would cost way more than 30 million.

The combination of Sahko and BMI would be infinitely better than what we are looking out now, which is two out of the following three Wollscheidt/Cameron/Shawcross. I imagine the thought of BMI playing alongside Sakho has to be a lot more of an incentive to him joining Stoke that the thought of playing alongside the other three.
Go get them both Sparky. Good investment.

I doubt there are few players in the world (like Messi) who would make that much difference to a team. Sakho can't get into the Liverpool side and played for a team that finished blow us, despite every effort on our part to throw points away.

Could argue Sakho was the difference between Palace staying up and going down last season. I just think Gibson is better and Bruno is probably as good without being a problem like Sakho.

We have an astute billionaire owner who will not put this club at risk so if he is willing to pay however much a player costs it doesn't matter to us as fans does it? The only thing that matters to me is whether or not these players would improve our team and Sakho definitely would as it stands.

The world has gone mad. We got £113 million quid by coming 13th in the league. Does everyone expect other clubs and players to not want a piece of that? Forget the actual money. It's just numbers. Every fucking transfer or bit of speculation has a 'worlds gone mad' thread.

I like that our central defenders possess some pace and Sakho is much faster than Gibson. For the same price I'd choose Sakho, but £30M must be a joke! What did Lpool pay themselves for a player they now don't want!?

Whenever I watched him he looked well nervous with the ball, akin to John stones.... you just know he's gonna fuck up at some point
What he's 'worth' is what some mug is prepared to pay I just hope it isn't Stoke

Personally I think he is better than Bruno or Gibson , his physical presence is exactly what we need .

A real leader at the back I just don't see us paying what they want / going rate. 15m at the most.

It's better to look at it as Monopoly money.
There is no value whatsoever in professional football and there is never going to be a justification to the fees and wages.
If we're not prepared to pay the required amounts of money to get the players in to improve us then we need to face up to what may happen.
Ironically for a club owned by a betting company we appear not willing to roll the dice.
