Must be weird for Antoine going from a championship team to a Premier League club, whose entire stadium you could fit into the Lansdown stand. Can't feel like much of an upgrade apart from the coin. 

Probably helps when every other week you’re playing in front of 30-70k though

Agree.  Gets to play away every week though at least   Palace the much better option though - if they want him and are prepared to pay.

I think Richard Gould would have known last week that a deal was happening and as someone else said this may have been a deadline day for a deal set by us. If so then I would be surprised if a deal for a replacement had not been worked on and likely agreed before todays news on Antoine. I don’t thing an experienced CEO would have waited for the deal to be agreed before having his incoming plans either set up or at least very close.

he'd get to play at Old Trafford, Emirates though…or at least trying their changing rooms to begin with

I think the coin would make for it though.

You’ve started to answer it yourself below

I think it’s worth remembering who was playing left wing / forward for Blackburn on Saturday!  And what that might’ve been meant tactically?

I can’t comment on Swansea (a), but he was pretty decent with the ball v Brum too.

Lets wait until he’s played another 4-6 games at RB in a back 4 and see how we view him then.

I think anyone we look at on the right would be short term, you and @NcnsBcfc, haven't mentioned Kane Wilson is on his way back and would be long term competition.

Bournemouth can offer the added bonus of a trip to Ashton Gate next season 

[BLRed]

Reject 10 mill to accept 9 mill. Some great negotiating there…..

[Charlie BCFC]

If he goes then I hope we get 10 mill + up front (not confident on that now unfortunately) and he goes to a team that atleast look like they’ll be in the division next year

I agree.

Although stuff does fall through too, hopefully not in our case.

@GrahamCdid on my behalf! He’s had a first season a bit like George hasn’t he?  Plenty of time for him.

Struck me as odd too. Maybe the ‘add ons’ are better.

Surely that wouldn't be anywhere near 9 million though. I'm not sure of the precedent to be honest. Also I'm sure it's much less if it's a foreign club.

Refers to Massengo.

It wasn’t £10m last week.

it was £6+2 and £8+2…now it’s £9+unknown (all are alleged also)

Its been mentioned enough times in this thread.

It wasn't 10, it was 8 + 2 inn add ons, this seems to be 9 + add ons.
So at lease £1m more!

[ollywhyte]

You’d like to guess 9 mill + 3, would be about right to me.

Yeah fair enough mate, 8 mill + 2 mill add ons is far more acceptable than 9 mill + add ons

Bournemouth also being linked with Zaniolo from Roma, another attacking wide player....

The question no-one's asking, where would Antoine prefer to go? 

Probably the same as everyone who is aware of the sport of football.

They have no chance at all with that one 

[ollywhyte]

It maybe worth asking about Sikri Dembele, surely going to be out of favour entirely by the time they make these attacking signings

The £50k per week they were rumoured to be offering Semenyo might cushion the blow a little!

Maybe he's one of the add-ons....

[Sturny]

Situation might be in his hands now if he wants to hear Palace out 

[View from the Dolman]

Post website says they'll have an update at 2.30

Press conference today so probably meaning they will have clarity on it from that......or not depending on Pearsons mood.

[RedorDead BCFC]

Hope one of the add ons ain’t if they stay up.

If you'd told me circa 2010 that in around 10 years time we'd be selling our best young players to Bournemouth for fees of £14m and £9m respectively, I'd have assumed you were a crackhead.

Quite sad isn't it when you compare the likes of us to them, Brighton, Brentford etc
