Think people who are saying `keep him at the moment and sell him next year` are forgetting that the offer is on the table now. Man United won't wait a year to sign a right back, a position they need to fill after Valencia has left and Young not getting any younger (ahh the pun). United need to build and it all seems that they are having a change in recent policy of bringing in younger potential talent (bought the young fella from Swansea). Life is often about timing. United's need is now and which other clubs are in the position to, or have the will to pay 50-60 mill for AWB? Are you a United fan? why do you care about the money? Are you a football fan or a bank manager? Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (11 Jun 2019 7.32pm)

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (11 Jun 2019 7.32pm) Hypothetically £60m buys two quality players that strengthen the first eleven. We generally have naturally defensively minded managers, so right back isn't that vital a position to have a world class player. No brainer to sell him if we get £60m. Any less and reject it.

Why any fan would approve of selling our best talent is beyond me. Because everybody has their price? Are you saying you’d never sell?! Really?! So if it was £2bn you’d still reject the offer? Ultimately if comes down to “can we do something which better furthers the club with this money?” And at £60m Parish will likely conclude “yes”. I for one think he’s right. Top quality right backs are a luxury item and replaceable with a slightly inferior player without a massive drop in points.

Why does the modern Palace fan even bother to go to games?

It won't be a trillion pounds and we won't get a better team as a result. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (11 Jun 2019 6.12pm) But the real question is whether every player has his price. And the answer is yes.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

Absolutely £60 million could buy 3 top quality players, who honestly thinks this will not improve the squad. And yes I am a Palace fan through and through

And yes I am a Palace fan through and through It would enlarge the squad but you can only play eleven. 20 million buys you average these days and if we 'need' to sell AWB then what makes you think that money will be spent on players? It won't will it.

It won't will it. Now that is a different scenario..there would be total unrest (and fully justified). Perhaps we would see what size cojones Parish has (without asking Susannah!!)

People are saying that we need to sell him. If that is true then you can not expect to see much of that money spent on players. People who also seem keen to sell are saying that the wage bill needs reducing. So one modestly paid player is sold and people expect us to improve the squad by putting even more players on the wage bill? Conclusion. People talk bollocks.

I can't disagree with you there mate, it might be a big influx of money if he is sold but let's face it we need two right backs then and any right back worth his salt is going to cost 20mill plus, and the wage bill will continue to rise . I reckon the best course of action would be to keep him for another season at least ! Unless silly money is offered . Give him a pay rise . He has already said he wants to be a palace player next season.
oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton. |

Ward and Kelly could provide cover. £20M for a right back, plus money to cover key positions like a ball playing midfielder, striker, or back up winger would help.

No disrespect ment but do you really think Ward still has the pace to play in the premier league? Kelly is in his prime but gets a nose bleed anytime he passes the half way line. Even if AWB stays we will need right back cover. We need cover in most areas but getting rid of Arron is not the answer . And the wage bill ?
