Opinions are like Assholes everyone has them, and some stink. My opinion, is that is we will get labelled as a selling club and never be anything else. AWB is a young lad with the world (literally) at his feet. At this stage in his career I think going to a big club would stifle his development, but I'm guessing the big bucks are calling. However as per every season we have been in the prem, we will be last off the blocks in the window, probably sell AWB for 50 million on deadline day, and leave ourselves short of a decent right back, or end up paying over the odds for a replacement or make do with Kelly at right back until the Jan window. Typical Palace transfer activity awaits is my gut feeling. The media dept at Palace pushing Sortloth did nothing to quell my fears, nor did Luka turning down his offer. Edited by Dannyh.V2 (13 Jun 2019 2.06pm) i dont think a move to united would stifle his career...he will be 1st choice RB at the club, if it was liverpool or citeh with TAA or walker infront of you i would agree.

Like what? Goals. F*cking boring watching most of the home games last season, without seeing many goals.

I couldn’t give a monkeys if it does stifle his career. Let’s take the money, buy a goal scorer , then buy him back for peanuts if he fails like Zaha did, or have a big sell on fee when he moves on to Barcelona. Win win.

OK. Let's cut through the crap. Are you seriously telling me that you would rather have money in the bank than seeing one of the best talents we have produced turn out in a Palace shirt? A yes or no answer.
The one place this money isn't going is 'in the bank'. Either it will be used to invest in replacements to reinforce the squad or it will be used to pay off loans to avoid yet another administration.

A figure of speech. Firstly, we will not go into administration. Second, you will not improve the first eleven with 50 million unless you spend it on one player, a striker.

Simply as that: If someone wants him it's easy pay £60M.

I agree it’s not that easy to buy quality players. But wed have had change from £50 million for what we paid for Tompkins, Sakho and the new keeper.

As explained before, the net transfer spend was £40m but only about £10 of that would have been recognised in those accounts as the value is ammortised over the duration of a contract. We are not running at a profit and are being propped up by director loans. Yep. He did mention us still paying for previous transfers. But they are not small suns. We’re talking about Benteke and Sakho. Crippling us.

I really don't want to lose AWB but if someone offers the price we have stated and given that the rumour is he wants to go, then I don't think we could turn the deal down. My only worry is what sort of message this sends to Wilf? If someone did then offer the asking price for Wilf we could be faced with losing both of them and if we sell AWB but tell Wilf he can't go we risk having a very unhappy player on our hands. Personally I hope Utd don't increase their offer and we keep them both. This is my concern. It could really mess Wilf’s head up thinking he’s been here so long and AWB has gone at the right time and succeeded.

I am now tired of saying that all the money in the world is useless if you can't attract players who are better than your first eleven.

I am now tired of saying that all the money in the world is useless if you can't attract players who are better than your first eleven. Every club has to do this apart from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and Man City, especially anyone outside of the big 6. The last big fee player we sold in his prime was Bolasie. Murray doesn’t count because of age and a bad opinion made on his ability then and in the future. I’d be more concerned if we sold Sakho tbh. We missed him a lot when he was out, and because we were so lacking in ideas of who to buy instead of Sakho and Freedman I’m far from convinced with, I dread to think who Sakho’s replacement might be. Losing our best ever right back isn’t great news but it’s a very manageable decision and one that can be for the bigger picture and actually improve more parts on the pitch. This has been going on and inevitable for decades. It doesn’t change now because of Prem money and the competition being even fiercer in it.
