Just noticed on Skybet that he's 66/1
Might be worth a fiver me thinks.
Who votes for it? Is it the other players?

Agree 100%

Interesting thread. Would be terrible to see AWB go, however much money a club gets for a player of real quality, I tend to think it's never made up for with purchases that come in. I'd always prefer to keep the player who has proven their quality in the team than hope new acquisitions compensate for their loss.

Also not particularly convinced a move to City would be great for AWB. As others have said, it's quite early for him and I think he'd risk sinking without trace when foreign imports come in, then have to start all over again at another club (or maybe come back to Palace, with a tidy profit for us). The City's of this world just have limitless capacity to bring in players, see if they work and let them go if not. I think (/hope) that AWB needs Palace as much as we need him at the moment, he's guaranteed first team football.

Also if we let players of AWB's calibre go, it really does say something about our ambition to push on to the next level.

The RLC article is a good read & makes the point of clubs not wanting to sell a player but neither allowing them to play either, hoping AWB is switched on enough with guidance from others (especially Wilf) to point out that the grass is not so green on the other side. Better to earn a bit less but play regularly than a few quid more but invisible on the bench / backroom & ignored
