Not sure what to think of this guy. For every bit he gets right, there are others he gets spectacularly wrong. If we add Sarr as our right winger, though, I don’t think we’ve done any strengthening at all.

I think he’ll be a winger/cover for Isak type of guy. He can score goals, get him in.

Sarr is a regular starter for Senegal. He played 5 games for them at the World Cup and likely to play every match at the Africa Cup next summer too. Can we please stay away from that kind of problem?

You mean stay away from African players?

He’s 29 in February and Crystal Palace already turned down Ā£50 Million Pounds,how much do you think we should be sucked in for Ā£70 Million Pounds… He’s worth Ā£40 at best because of age AND HE’S INJURED !!!

It was reported that we didnt formally bid for Sarr, and the Turkish team he was expecting to move to apparently only offered in the range of 30-40m

Not in general. But Sarr missed big parts of preseason this summer and likely to miss again next summer.

With lots of (muscle)injuries throughout his career and at soon 29 he’s not going to get much better physically.

I mean I wouldn’t be buying him full stop. But I don’t think we can avoid international level players as we’ll get a World/European international tournament two out of four summers, an African one in one of the remaining two and the club world cup in the fourth.

All top level players are going to get rinsed. We might be lucky with Szoboslai and Kerkez in that Hungary don’t qualify much but that’s going to be more luck than judgement if they do miss out.

Oh no, you know it’s bad when they start removing all club affiliated matter.

Absolutely crossed the line there, but don’t worry Palace fans, we won’t be signing him and it’ll all be reinstated in a few days…
