"The Eagles are thought to value Doucoure at around £70million. Palace will point to the fees paid for midfielders already this summer, with Chelsea set to splash out £58m for Lavia."

All the social media chatter and NewsNow clickbait are referencing this article, which is mostly an opinion piece, lots of conjecture, take with a pinch of salt.

I suspect SP may accept a bid somewhere between those two numbers, ONLY if he can line up a reasonable replacement. £60m for Doucoure plus 35m = £95m, £20m more than our entire summer spend for PV first season.

However, with no other release clauses, SP holds all the cards and despite what rival fans claim we DON'T have to sell anyone, heck look at sulky Guaita, we haven't panic sold him yet.

I am not a bot. No, seriously, I'm not.

I would hope we can keep him because he just commands his position and can only get better; however, Lerma's stats are more impressive on Sofascore, as are Rice and top midfielders such as Casemiro. All of that to say he is important for us, but for the right price we could probably find a replacement and still have money in the bank. Timing is terrible though and I can't see Parish getting another public poke in the eye, as the Olise release clause might have been the only choice at the time, but the optics look bad right now. Mcallister only went for 35M plus add ons (another release clause), so maybe Parish can redress the Olise situation as Brighton did with Caicedo. Difference is they have a robust talent pipeline and we don't!

With Olise signing up he might feel that staying with us isn't such a bad thing after all.

Palace don’t need to sell a player that has fitted in well with only one season of his contract gone, exactly what we need to progress, If a sale was considered it has to be absolutely incredible money on offer.But then hang on what is incredible money any more? The top teams seem to have no limits if in need. So why be coy? Even an amount in excess of £100 mill might appear under value next year.

There is hardly any difference in quality between Doucoure and Caciedo. If anything we have a right to ask more. After all Caciedo cost Brighton only £4m only 2 years ago. Doucoure cost us £18m.
As Parish said this afternoon, it would have to be a crazy offer AND we would have to have a replacement lined up first.
For me, IF Liverpool came knocking I'd seriously say the price is £115m or we are not interested in talking. If that didn't put them off (very doubtful) I'd also insist on a quick deal with no dicking around so we have time to get a replacement in.

Lets not forget Liverpool stiffed us on Benteke and Sakho. Its about time they had a taste of their own medicine.

We dont need to sell, I doubt Parish will do business, after the Benteke and Sakho deals. A new contract for Olise is a statement to other clubs.
Hodgson is the best man for the job currently, if a new manager was appointed, there is no guarantee, they would work out. Managers in the Premier have a short shelf life.
