Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 3rd July Part One: Chelsea, PSG, Everton and more

League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge could make more than £1m from a sell-on clause if their former striker Dwight Gayle, 22, makes an expected £8.5m move from Peterborough to Crystal Palace.

Full story: London Evening Standard What’s the story? Haha. Expected £8.5m move? Huh? It’s nonsense.Does it make sense? Erm, no? £8.5m. Think about that. That’s pretty much what David Villa is going to cost. It’s not much less than Mesut Ozil cost. It’s what Philippe Coutinho cost.Is the price right? You may have got the impression it’s not. Palace aren’t in a position to spend £8.5m on a single player, and to spend it on a red raw player who was only in non league last year would be insanity.Will it happen? 8/10 – For about £3m. How does a number like £8.5m not get scrutinised before print?
