Maxence Lacroix finalising his move to Chelsea for £52m so, expect a big of £25m for Manny incoming as Palace I believe have told us they will do.
24 Jul 2026 12:33:47
I don't think they'll bid £25 million for him.
24 Jul 2026 12:44:26
Anything over £15m should suffice.
24 Jul 2026 12:45:21
Iron, I would be very surprised.
24 Jul 2026 12:52:05
Box to Box, that's utter nonsense. 🫣 The club value him at 30m. Why are Celtic supporters always trying to say our players are worth half of what they are worth to the club. 🥴 We wouldn't even get into negotiations for 15m.
24 Jul 2026 12:59:24
The Club can value him as high as they want, but he's not going for £30million quid. If you got offered £18million quid for him and a sell on, you'd be bonkers to say no. He had an ok yr in a poor domestic league where we finished 3rd!
24 Jul 2026 13:03:04
Mustcatin2, first of all I'm not a Celtic fan and 2nd of all the club do not value him at £30m, that's nonsense. We have accepted a bid of £17m with add ons for Raskin, who had a really good World Cup, but somehow you think Manny is worth double than Raskin?
24 Jul 2026 13:08:23
Even take into account Peterborough 30% if we make 8 mill still a good deal for the Gers.
24 Jul 2026 13:13:45
We will see then, won't we. 🥴 Manny & Chermiti are both valued by the club at Scottish record prices. 👍 That's not an opinion, that's something I know for a fact. There isn't a cb in Europe at Manny's age that has the threat he has in the air for ball dominating teams, that's well worth big money.
24 Jul 2026 12:54:41
Wasnt it said we had rejected a bid from them before?
24 Jul 2026 13:13:59
Have we accepted a bid?
24 Jul 2026 13:15:35
Where does the £30m valuation come from?
I honestly didn't think he was great last season. Good in the air in both boxes but far too slow on the ball at the back and gets caught in position with it.
£15m would be a good return on him
24 Jul 2026 13:18:42
Fernandez is the most valuable defender in Scottish football according to Transfermaker, EUR18m, Raskin EUR17.
We know that isn't bang on, but it's the closest out there.
24 Jul 2026 13:23:31
Would sell him no bother.
24 Jul 2026 13:39:52
John, do you mean you would be surprised if they bid or surprised if they don't?
24 Jul 2026 13:45:34
Never bought into the hype with Manny.
Looks from that friendly that he believed the hype around him.
Not a young lad, far better out there.
Happily move him on.
24 Jul 2026 13:49:37
Hos stats are great, and that's what big clubs scouts and coaches look for, so I wouldn't rule it out.
Do I see it happening? No, but never say never, project what we want, we might actually get it.
24 Jul 2026 13:55:40
Absolutely no chance, mate.
24 Jul 2026 13:56:10
The club value him at EUR30, I believe.
So is that not £2 or there about a?
We supposedly knocked back a bid of £24m for him from Palace.
Expect them to come back now.
Sick swing fans say they'd sell players for this and that. Why?
We can sell for much higher.
Some on here said lucky to get 8 for Raskin.
Dio's worth 4 and Barron 2.
Why are yous not wanting to take my top dollar? It's like yous would literally rather sell cheap just to say I told u so.
We won't accept any less than £25m for Manny. Fact.
24 Jul 2026 13:56:11
Clubs have seen the threat Arsenal have and used very well and Manny is the type that fits, so others will chase his type now for sure.
24 Jul 2026 14:00:16
I would be very wary of bids for Manny right now when we are dangerously light at the back already.
24 Jul 2026 14:11:34
The only club I'm aware who have expressed any firm interest in Fernandez was Everton - who at the time came to watch him during a few training sessions, which I posted about.
Nothing further happened.
I would be shocked if the club valued him at £30m, and if they did, I'm sure Fernandez agents would be making noises in the media.
24 Jul 2026 14:27:28
I don't want to sell him anyway.
We can't sell anymore positions other than what's commonly accepted here.
No defenders can go tik, we get 2 out 2 in for Soapy and Nsiala.
Strikers I'd keep as us, and we are 2 short out wide as well.
I wonder if Aasgaard will play as a right or left forward if he stays.
24 Jul 2026 14:27:59
Can't see Palace signing him to be a Lacroix replacement, they're shopping in better markets.
Manny is a good player, but he's miles off Premier League. He was awful in Europe last season, so he's got a lot to prove this year.
24 Jul 2026 14:36:45
I'd like to see Aasgaard given a chance on the left if we continue to play 442, Stevie.
24 Jul 2026 14:48:06
Personally I'd say Aasgaard is best as a link between midfield to striker or strikers, in either one up playing two behind the striker, or if two up top, just behind the two strikers. Boys got ability, absolutely no question, but his best assets don't get shown enough, played out of position.
24 Jul 2026 14:53:07
Love how people on here talk as if any of us have a say in the things going on at the club. 🤣
24 Jul 2026 14:58:41
Wishy, that's where I see Aasgaard playing in a 442, mate, need a quality rw for the other side of the four.
24 Jul 2026 15:04:52
Palace closing in on Chrislain Matsima to replace LaCroix.
24 Jul 2026 15:08:13
He ain't 30 million. Jesus wept. He ain't as good as some fans think he was a big part of the problem last season in defence. No club had bid anything for him as of yet. A bid of 20 million would get him, probably, a bit lower.
Peterborough don't have 30% sell on profit either.
24 Jul 2026 15:17:54
Agree mystar, he gets lost when he plays in the middle of the park, the game passes him by. He would be far more effective on left, cutting in.
24 Jul 2026 15:30:09
And Rommens overlapping him, Wishy.
24 Jul 2026 15:35:02
Surprised if they bid, he is allegedly on a list they were considering to replace their ch.
24 Jul 2026 15:37:51
Lacroix at 50m just shows how the world has gone mad.
24 Jul 2026 15:38:01
Yes, mate, sounds good to me!
24 Jul 2026 15:41:09
Forever, you're correct re stats and what clubs look for.
Palace would see Manny as a bargain at 25 million.
24 Jul 2026 15:26:07
My star i agree we need to prioritise and spend a bit of money in signing a class, game changing right winger mate 🤔I also definitely think another good at least one centre half we have to sign and a class right back 🤔🇬🇧Does any of the guys itk hearing anything regarding us signing a class right winger and his identity 🤔
24 Jul 2026 15:49:55
In that case, John, are people right in saying the club value him at more than that?
24 Jul 2026 15:51:50
Coopers, that's great value for him. In a world where every player is going for 100m, a French international with PL experience for 50m is fantastic business from Chelsea.
24 Jul 2026 15:56:09
If that's true it's an incredible deal for us. Yes, he's a decent player and Peterborough have a sell on clause, but he's nowhere near the standard of no nonsense CBs that we've had in the past, or need moving forward.
24 Jul 2026 15:59:06
Are we really giving Posh 30% sell on? Who on earth agreed to that one? We paid above his market value, and are also going to give a third of our sale?
24 Jul 2026 16:09:50
Wishy, I know he was in French squad and plays in EPL, Palace had a great formation under their manager which helped him out, but don't rate him at that amount of money. In a more attack minded team, he gets found out, but players are worth what teams will pay for them and if he's worth that then a think Manny is 25m, do a think he is worth that at this moment.
No, but think he just lacks concentration and has tools to go far.
24 Jul 2026 16:23:47
John, it was yourself who said Palace bid £24m for him, mate.
24 Jul 2026 16:34:47
Xabi Alonso going to play the same formation at Chelsea as Glasner did at Palace, mate. Think he'll be a snip at 50m.
24 Jul 2026 16:35:25
Yes, and I'll still be very surprised if they buy him. We said we want 30, additions and sell on.
He is a poor defender.
24 Jul 2026 16:57:35
£30 plus additions, John?
24 Jul 2026 17:43:47
We clearly need an attacking mid from somewhere.
24 Jul 2026 17:43:59
Add ons, Stevie.
24 Jul 2026 17:45:28
We turned down a bid close to £24 million from Palace. Any incoming bid will need to top that significantly.
24 Jul 2026 18:31:25
Muscat 2 is having a laugh, right? Not a single CB in Europe at Manny's age that has his threat and can play in a possession dominating team? I could name 5+ younger than him and another 5+ same age as him.
24 Jul 2026 20:02:10
Fernandez is a good player and we got a good deal with what we paid. I like players that are laid back, and I like his clever touches and passes, but understand people don't like that in a centre half, especially when they get caught out as much as he did in the first half of the last game.
We will get good money for him when he leaves, but I can't see it being 30mill.
24 Jul 2026 20:20:04
He is a bomb scare.
24 Jul 2026 20:32:12
No way Palace bid 24m and Ornstein etc missed if they are on the ball with all PL news.
24 Jul 2026 22:18:00
We did turn a bid down. People can take it or leave it.
25 Jul 2026 00:25:26
The rumour is, if you say Skov Olsen is s*** 3 times in a row in a mirror, Aphe will appear. I'm too scared to try it. 😂
25 Jul 2026 08:25:08
No truth in Fernandez to Palace.
They've today (Saturday) agreed a deal to sign centre back Raphael Le Guen from Stade Brest.
