This might well be the case, their need is greater than ours. Our objective is to stay in the Premiership whereas theirs is to to win. Silverware.....

Wan-Bissaka out, Nathaniel Clyne in,and Palace end up with approximately £40m to play with, perfect.

Probably true Chris, but imho i dont think you are the 'instigator' of this spat. Edited by eagleman13 (22 Jun 2019 3.47pm) No spat, just pre season banter. I respect all Palace fans and let’s be honest we all in the same boat. You can give me a yellow, but if you go through my posts you will see they are pretty much bang on!

If AWB wants to go and Man U have offered the money, take it buy a replacement (Clyne) and move on.

I hope this drives hoke to the club the enormous potential rewards of developing players and giving them a shot. We grew a £50 million asset in 18 months. That alone has paid for the youth set up. If he does go, AWB will make a huge, positive difference to the club's finances. Well said. To think that, in the past, people have questioned the merits of investing in the academy. This one move probably puts the academy in profit for it's entire history. Especially when you then add in what we got for Moses, Clyne and will get for Zaha. IMO invest heavily in it, get it up to category 1 status and then start entering teams in the football league trophy or whatever it is.

Producing players to play for Palace is one thing but if the club is just a nursery to create talent for bigger clubs then I won't be wasting money on season tickets. AWB has played for us for one season for god sake.

If selling our right back (Still learning) for big bucks makes the Squad/Team Stronger then yes . The big question is how the money is spent ?

Like someone else said.. get it to category 1 standards ASAP. Fill it with potential and have a route to the first team for the best. Best way to be a suiatainable football club.

But the club would thrive like it has never thrived before if we could find one AWB a season. There's a lot of great young talent in the area so it's very possible. And we would really crush our local rivals because our set up would need to be brilliant and omnipresent in the local area to do that. Our finances could also be so much stronger than they are today.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

Sadly,,we are only finding a diamond about once every five years.

How does some of this nonsense even go into copy? If true and £55M a “stretch” for Arsenal that’s them out of signing Wilf..!! COYP Based on salary alone and now Wan’s value it’s got to be £100M minimum. With any luck, neither Arsenal or Tottenham can afford him.
