Offer in for Exequiel Palacios… on 14:33 - Aug 9 by Cafe_Newman

A lot of people outside the UK struggle with the place names: Ipswich, Norwich and Sandwich.

Supposedly that’s been cleared up and the deal is back on.


Deal being a neighbour of Sandwich.. we can offer him some quality golf Open hosting courses if he likes the game…… it’s all written in the stars and your post

As an aside… I mentioned our very loose possibility the other day that we were in the discussion of being after him to my South American football expert…. My father in law … and he was quite shocked and impressed in equal measure … obviously shocked that we are his possible destination but impressed that we’re even in the discussion…knowing him as I do ,let’s just say he rates this player extremely highly especially for what we need knowing a little about Ipswich (the team) and it’s recent history and squad.

We must have made a bid if Fab put his name to it like that. Which blows peoples theories out of the water that we weren’t going to pay him the big wages. So players representatives have surely kept us interested. Of course though, the more PL clubs the better in terms of getting the best deal for their client.

Having it out there that we have out a formal offer in may well get others moving as well.

I can’t see it happening and nothing has suggested he truly wants to come either. but would be insane if we pulled it off.

We can’t afford his wages and I’m not sure Bayer can either as asked him to take 25% pay cut as didn’t qualify for Europe.

£125k a week minus 25% (£31,250) is £93,750 pw. O’Shea is our top earner on £35k pw. Don’t see it happening. Rumoured £40mil transfer fee is achievable but wages outside our level of affordability.

Messi has also elevated a so-called lesser club.

You've pulled wages from Capology haven't you? None of our player wages are verified - they haven't got a clue.

They put our total wage bill at less than £30M. It was more like £65M when we were in the PL. So it will be will north of that for this coming season. O'Shea is probably on >£50k/week now (PL level). Possibly well beyond that.

I can see our 26/27 wage bill rising to £100M (still modest in the PL). That would be an average of £75k/week, so there will be those closer to 50k, and some around 100k.

Time to wake up and smell the coffee...

The fact we are in the conversation and being linked shows how far we have come and our ambition. It may not happen or it might but if any Argentinian comes to Town they've got big shoes to fill from the previous Argentinian at Town!

Exactement. When we signed Ben Johnson, we did a deal for £60k per week. And we are without doubt paying more this time around.
The link says he is on E5.25M p.a., in other words E100k, so about £90k per week. He'd be at the top of our wage structure no doubt, but it's within the bounds of the possible.

Why? Enciso and Palacios are completely different types of players, who play completely different positions?


Yes, they play in ACM and No.10 respectively. However, we can't fit both those positions if we're also fielding 2 DCMs - of which we now have a large collection (and which we'll need if the FBs are high up the pitch).

I heard Palacios is keen to sign for us now. Romano DM'd me on x saying that he delivered lengthy reasoning for wanting to join ITFC. Allow me to quote Exequiel's 17th paragraph:
""
The path of the righteous midfielder is beset on all sides by the temptations of other clubs and the tyranny of those who would keep him away from Portman Road. Blessed is he who, in the name of pride and good football, shepherds the ball through the valley of midfield, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of the killer pass. And I will strike down upon thee with great tackles and furious pressing those who would attempt to deny my brothers victory. And you will know my name is Palacios when I lay my boots upon the Portman Road pitch.
""

Def info.

I think it's important to have flexibility. Just because we've signed Luis and Lukic shouldn't mean signing a number eight or number ten is sacrificed. I imagine Nunez will be an option, along with Palacios or an equivalent, so we would have five central midfielders with different abilities as and when required. And then Enciso and Engeli covering the number ten position.

He can’t be that good if the only other team trying to sign him is RB and they need to get Romano to drum up other interest.

And apparently Palacios is on £145k a week, pretty sure our pockets aren’t that deep, in the same way I didn’t have much to appreciate the girl in the year above at school.

It’s 19.5m across three years. Why can’t we afford that?

Any top Midfielder is going to be on 70-90 so it’s an extra 5 million across three years. Seems pretty tame. And we could just sell him if we don’t want to pay it.

Even if we are relegated and have to loan him and pay half his wages that’s a liability of 5 million across the last two years of his contract.

Is it because he inflates our wage bill? And the demands from
Existing players? I can’t see any other reason.
