Palhinha deal confirmed off - does that mean we won't be getting Gravenberch?

Two things aren’t dependent on each other, Munich are happy to respect the players wishes and the relationship we’ve got with them apparently.

Is the deal off as Fulham can't a player in? If so it probably happens in January anyway.

Imagine the madness, if we go and SIGN Palhinha now!

(Loan Curtis to Fulham, if they struggle to find a replacement. )

I don’t understand all this Jones bashing, for me if he I fit he plays. I really rate the kid.

Magico124, Palinha is a very good player however, he is not what we need at that price (80m) and at that age (approaching 29). We can't complain that the midfield needs to be rereshed with young players and then, go spunk 80m on a near 29 year old. That don't make that much sense to me, respectfully.

Wasn’t Bayern meant to be signing him for 60 mill euros or have I read that wrong.

Man. of. todd, To be fair I don't see anybody bashing Jones in this thread.

Yes, JK, it was £58 million (50+8). Nowhere near 80 million. Also, Paulinho turned 28 in July.

The club wanted to buy Gravemberch - the right player at the right price.

Time to move on from the window. midfield has been overhauled. We bought two national team captains, a World Cup winner and a young lad we’ve been chasing for a couple of years. The midfield looks a fair bit more promising than it did in May.

The forwards look pretty good too - seem to have quite a few options.

Let’s dig in and slag the defence off - at least until the next window. Roll on January.

We the reds, WH wanted Palinha after Rice got sold and they were quoted 80m pounds at the time to replace him. They may have reduced their price when Bayern come in for him later in the window but that was what Fulham wanted.

Now, I guarantee you that had LFC come in for Palinha at that time, it would not have been 58m euros + add on's. I can promise you that cos that PL tax is for real. As for his age, 28 or 29 makes no diff. to me. 80m pounds for a 28 yr old makes no sense to me regardless of how anyone wants to spin it.

{Ed025's Note - as much as 150M for a 31 year old Oli?..
