Good player. Not sure he's worth £5m right now, but has potential.

Being able to stay in London probably a big factor in why he agreed to it. Can't underestimate that for London based players.

Spot on with the London bit.

Always said that teams up north (excluding your monsters like Liverpool or Man U) and farthest west have to pay a premium to get (foreign) players to look beyond the London.

Unfortunately that's the going rate nowadays even at Championship level which is ridiculous to be fair.

Maybe somebody needs to explain that to Tan?

Spot on about telling tan 1 million buys sod all in todays market,
and before some says moylan is 2 million and very rare to find many like him at that price,
but this is tan all over cheap as chips look to the academy anything but a war chest to start off the championship .
We where so lucky that bbm turned out to be as good as he was untested really ,and 100%understood why fans where worried then,
we had riza he got us relegated and where on the slippery slope fans wanted some hope nobody could predict how well we would do last season ,or maybe 1 person could. So I agree 5 million is a going rate which is a lot but you stand or fall .

Can only imagine the response if we signed a player for £5m that scored 2 in 15 last season for Stoke.

"I don't rate him at all", "we shouldn't be spending that money on a player like this", "not a great signing".

I agree the lad has gone down hill since he was at Charlton Athletic few seasons ago and i would question that ammount for him looking at his record but there manager must have seen enough of him to warrant that amount.

He definitely has potential so it'll be interesting to see how he does at Charlton.

You're not wrong.

It's funny how some players just seem to "click" at a particular club yet struggle when they play for other teams.

I guess Charlton are hoping it's the same with this lad.

Deal off.

The two clubs couldn't agree with the terms of the deal.

Rak-Sakyi was at Charlton's training ground this week for personal terms and medical, but the deal will not happen now.

To be fair, the media were fair to assume that given that he was given permission to go and do the medical etc.

Seems most of the deal was done but seems to have gone wrong at the end. Either that or someone else has offered Palace more money so they've pulled out of this deal.
