It would have to be the signing of the decade and I don't have the confidence we can go out there a find these gems. At the end of the day we are now weakened in the r/b position. A bad deal. 18 months ago AWB could have been signed for 500 grand.

He came through the youth setup as did wilf. Maybe we have another gem who will make the grade. Hopefully not by default though!

I know hes been sold and makes us potentially weaker in that area. And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle but if awb got injured...... I'm just saying that selling and buying is all part of football. It's a money game. Jumpers for goalposts is fantasy in the PL I'm not forced to support, watch or buy a season ticket. I choose to. Challenges are all through life and for 90 mins mine is not to lose my s***. Maybe our progression is slowed but having awb wouldn't have guaranteed it. I think we are still a top tenish side without him. This isn't a call to arms just a realistic outlook Imo.

I just hope for his sake that he hasn't made a move that will take him on to far greater obscurity. There's just something about the Palace environment that has brought out the very best in many players, which just seems to disappear when they move on. A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

I was gutted when we sold Johnny Byrne, Alan Stephenson, Bill Glazier, Kenny Sansom, Steve Kember, Ian Wright, Peter Nicholas, Nigel Martyn, Vince Hilaire even John Bostock but CPFC remains. It’s been 60 years and I’m not stopping now.

Another season of just trying to survive whilst Parish et al cash in on our best players. Relegation will come eventually with this mentality. As they change modern football won’t be long before they ban the sliding tackle. Doesn’t exist in women football which is already taking the limelight. That is a big part of Wans success. Where will that leave him? Heading will also follow. At that point thousands will follow Royston away from the game. The reason I still buy a season ticket is for the singing. We are one of the best for that.

I'm not sure women's football is taking the limelight as much as you think it is, the standard still isn't great and pubs/ fan parks are still empty. I wouldn't be too quick to buy into the media's agenda. Beyond wishing our girls all the best I think 99% of punters aren't any closer to paying to watch that dross. It'll go full circle anyway and AWB represents part of that with his excellent, almost throw-back slide tackles. As you say, as soon as the game goes full non-contact it's finished.

We've now got a 50m kitty to buy a RB, 2 attacking mids and 2 strikers whilst trying to reverse the wage structure. Somehow, I can't see that money getting spent. It'll be "Kelly and Ward will do as RB, we'll still scrape 17th".

Helmet46 Croydon 28 Jun 19 6.48am
If AWB has had his head turned by Man Utd, because they are one of the biggest, most successful clubs in the World, SP has a duty to get the best deal he can for the club. Would you stay working for a small Company in Croydon when you could work for a multi-national, travel all over the world, enhance your reputation further and earn 8 times as much? Like b*****s would you. This isn’t rocket science. The player wants to leave so SP has to get as much as he can. If he was simply “cashing in” he would have touted him around the market. Now, the proof of his commitment and the clubs ability comes from the replacement (s). That is a lot of money so who are we going to get and in what position? If we get a couple of sub-standard journeymen and it sees us skirt with relegation or worse then questions need to be asked, in my opinion. This will be where DF, SP and RH earn their money but, personally, I have doubts about the way we do business and our capabilities and reckon we’ll miss out on more decent players due to our procrastination before we wind up with a couple of donkeys. Sorry, I just don’t rate DF in that position.

Man City Manchester 28 Jun 19 8.00am
I don't think you can complain too much about your board selling an uncapped player for what is a world record fee for a full-back. £55m is a good deal for a player who hasn't yet played for the national team. I've watched him develop and he's brilliant at defending but unlike van Aanholt he doesn't get forward much and he'll be expected to do so at Utd. They'll want him to hit the ground running, but I think it might take him a season to adapt. I know some of your fans will be unhappy to have sold one of your best players but presumably the club saw this coming and will have been targeting players to buy and strengthen the club overall. I'd be a bit worried that that hasn't happened yet. If the money just sits in the bank, then what's the point of that? Players on the pitch are worth a lot more than money in the bank.
