How many of those lads were from the local area? It sort of kills the arguments about having a big catchment area. The Abramovich millions plundering European Academies seems more likely, I can’t see us going down that path. The notion that we should be producing more local lads in the Academy is fanciful, the chance of producing a top quality player is low. We have a better record at producing players than most with AWB and Zaha, but they don’t come along every year. there are two at Chelsea, just breaking into the national team, both local to Palace

What part of we are now an established Premiership club with one of the finest home-grown players we have ever had, so why should we roll over and let a 'big' club have him for peanuts just because they want him, do you not understand? Just 'cos he wants it is quite irrelevant really as he has a contract that says differently...... I don't think there is anything to suggest Palace are '' rolling over '' here - in fact quite the opposite. If that were the case AWB would have gone for £25-30m a few weeks back. And whatever the final deal looks like, I wouldn't describe £50m for a full back as '' Peanuts ''. Maybe just Nuts - but that's the market these days.

A number of supposed offers have been rejected, we don’t need to sell, but everyone has a price. Times are very different from when we were in trouble under Jordan and clubs plundered us, taking our best players for peanuts. A contract only determines the price, we can achieve for a player, it’s no guarantee they are going to stay.

As the article(that I was originally referring to)said, they were 'only' offering 42.5 mil plus a 15mil add-on if he played for them in a Champions League final (when they haven't qualified for CL), and allegedly Palace declined the offer as Man U weren't good enough to win a place in the near future.

You have to laugh at that one !

Gotta admire our hypocrisy. In contract negotiations with liverpool we added an add-on that involved us getting CL, Benteke bagging 20+ goals and playing 70% of games. Had to meet all three criteria to pay out!

I think that the vast majority of add ons are ridiculous. Citing the above as an example why is it Liverpool's fault if Benteke gets injured and can't play the requisite number of games. Why is it also their fault if he doesn't score the requisite number of goals in a season as much of that is possibly down to the rest of our team and/or manager An extra £xxM if Manchester United get to the Champions League final and Wan-Bissaka plays in that match is one of the daftest of the lot though

Palace are doing anything but rolling over here - that’s pretty clear from how long this all taking. If we get the supposed £55m guaranteed + add ons you have to say well played to parish & co. You have to remember this could be a whole lot worse if this was Wilf. I know this could still be case but I just don’t see them both going. This season anyway AWB is also a lifelong Man Utd fan...

Tell me. Are you actually glad that we might well sell AWB? You and some of the other so called supporters on here seem to be creaming their pants at the prospect.

£45m plus add-ons deal has been agreed and it should be wrapped up pretty quickly subject to Utd meeting with the player's representatives and the medical.

Sounds like a fantastic offer, take the money now, before United come to their senses, Wan-Bissaka is good,but he's not that good.

I support the club, not just a player. I also don't bang on about not renewing my season ticket. I mean, what kind of "supporter" ditches the club they proclaim to love because a bigger team has targetted a 39 game player. Bit pathetic don't you think?
