We can frame it any way we want, but we can't turn down that sort of money. He probably wanted to go and he'll be on huge wages and the deal was in the offing more than likely when he agreed the new contract. Esse's agent has Palace links. It was almost inevitable. We've sold to Palace before...

An excellent point. It will make us more attractive to young players in the future when it comes to them deciding which club to join in what is a very competitive area.

So Palace seemingly paid £2m extra plus the negotiated "significant" sell-on clause just so they could have Esse right away. I'm not just saying this as he has now gone, but he is nowhere near ready for the Premier League. He was barely ready for the Championship. That's a hell of a deal...

I think you could be right about the extra £2m.

No idea if it's true, but I've seen it mentioned a few times, that Esse's release clause wasn't active until the summer transfer window so Palace have paid more for him as they wanted him right away.

£14.5m is a lot of money to a club like us, plus there is a significant sell-on clause. This is for a player who has played 60 games for us. It's not so much us not wanting him to go, it's how much he wanted to go. Add to that the financial aspect. His life will change because of this move. It...

Both at training today, not that that means anything.

Nobody is bigger than the club. Well, except Lurch.

So at a guess we'd be talking well north of £20m for both. We can't turn that sort of money down.

No worries, it's not your fault! I'm kind of resigned to Esse going and even though it's Palace I can't blame him from a financial point of view and let's face it, the club's hands are tied. Any information on if Tanganga has a release clause? I've heard yes and no. Regarding Esse's transfer...

Well this is double shit. Fucking hell.

Eerdhuijzen didn't fail a medical, that's not true. His Brum transfer fell through for other reasons. He hasn't been injured for a long time. This is all according to a Sparta fan.

12 points. 20 goals scored. 0 conceded.

Seems Esse is going to go, whether it's Palace or somewhere else. I hope it's not Palace though. He'll more than likely get a massive signing-on fee, substantial wages and become a multi-millionaire overnight. You can't blame anyone for taking that opportunity. The release clause is apparently...

Cooper, Coburn and McNamara coming back will make a difference. The first two in particular. We look rock solid with Tanganga and Cooper at centre-back and Coburn's ability to hold the ball up and be a presence up front has been missed. I honestly think we will be fine this season. I also feel...

AN spoke really well. You have to remember this is our 5th game in 12 days and he has had zero time on the training ground with them and he spoke about that.
