Everton sniffing around him , talks of swapping with Lookman or Tosun.

Cenk Tosun is probably second in the league of overpriced crap strikers in the PL, second to Sorloth.
Only an idiot would consider selling AWB - oh hang on, were talking about the CPFC transfer team of Parrish and Freedman...

Hmm, didn't the club just tie him down to a new contract !!

I would suggest that he will be going nowhere soon. It's not in the clubs or the players interest.

And certainly not for a player that has slated Palace at every opportunity, since he "rejected" us when we were interested.

He's shown he can play at this level and he's only going to get better. When he moves on it will be for big money and it will be to a better team than Everton I think.

Everton might just be the club that suits him best. It's big enough and he will get to play every week rather than just sitting on the bench with one of the top four

I seem to recall that he scored a rather good goal against us not that long ago

Considering we were chasing the game in the 90th minute and had nine men upfield I would rate that one as more of a gift than a good goal.

Such has been sensational form id argue he's too good for an Everton. I'm seeing a top 4 player in him. In terms of ability at that age, he outshines Wilf which is something I never thought I'd say.

Is he better than Trent? I'd argue he's up there. To be fair Trippier, Trent, Valencia etc are not better or worse. But to be saying this after a kid hasn't even reached 20 games is nuts but completely accurate.

Huge talent. Makes me wonder who else we have in the youth teams who could step up. Gone are the 'it's too risky to take a chance days'. We have to gamble a bit with these players. AWB was a case of the right place at right time. We need to give others a chance.

Like many of you I have over the years witnessed us develop some amazing players such as Sansom and Wright, only to sell them and then see the team fall apart. We need to keep our stars such as AWB and Zaha if we are to survive and ultimately push on.

Love this lad, needs to work on his positioning at times but that will come with experience. See him in the England team within two years, we just need to make sure he's still then playing for Palace.

Agree. If we could just find ourselves a great homegrown goalscorer now..

I'm sure he'll do a Clyne and stay for this season and the next - after that it's hard to say, I did notice he seemed to be getting a bit affected by the spotlight, one two many tricks on occasion, but it would disrupt his progress rather than accelerate it if he went to Everton now, could end up being our best ever right back, only Clyne's ahead of the queue now probably, we've had some great left backs (Sansom, Deano, Fenwick) but the right backs haven't been at that level generally (Doris, Humphrey, Mulligan, Wall).

 

Willo Flag South coast - west of Brighton. 04 Nov 18 10.38am

There would be a furore if we sold AWB, a local boy who has come through the academy and is showing such ability.
There would be venting of spleens,high-decibel fulmination and HOL would go into meltdown.

He is a work-in-progress but he is a young boy learning his trade and he does have the pace to make recovery tackles.He is of course a player with huge potential.

Besides, we would have to replace him with another right-back as in my humble opinion Ward is simply below the quality required to play as a regular in the PL.And one suspects many would question whether the club would come up with the right replacement given the criticism of the transfer activity.

At right-back, Everton already have Seamus Coleman and their Academy graduate Jonjoe Kenny who has been attracting plaudits.

Far too good for Everton, perhaps there neighbours maybe but would cost them a lot of money,

would cost an awful lot of money.

if we were to sell, i would hope for tom davies & a lot of money.

Yep, Wolves seem to have nurtured a good one in Gibbs-White, who got 30 mins against the Spuds and looked very good.

Entirely unrelated to whether we can keep him or not, which I think we most certainly can, for now.

It’s nice to have any excuse to wack a bit of the Clash on. Now fully part of a pre-palace match ritual.

He'll go to a much bigger team than Everton, but probably not for 2/3 years
