There have been many times where we've failed to cash in on having one more player on the pitch than the opposition. Wembley 2016 for example. And who can forget Palace v Cambridge, 1984?
Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |

AWB had another solid game yesterday from his defensive tackles to sharp attacking play. Man U will surely not want to let him go now.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Yup. No chance. Close thread. I don't agree. Many seem to be overlooking the impact of stricter FFP. It creates situations where a club may well like and respect a player, but if they want to spend money in the window they have no choice but to let him go. It's not a case of "he's playing well, we'll keep him" but part of a broader strategic necessity. If Ten Haag wants, for instance, to spend millions on a centre forward he's going to have to balance the books by letting another expensive player go and he may letting a right-back leave to bring in a striker is the sensible way to approach things. The point is, allowing AWB to leave doesn't mean United think he's s***; it simply means they have reasons why his departure makes sense, FFP or otherwise. My understanding is also that no one disputes he's played well recently and is an outstanding defender but in the long run, Ten Haag wants a different kind of right back (more comfortable on the ball). I think there's every chance that AWB is available this summer. Whether he comes to us is a very different story as I'd imagine a Newcastle/Spurs-type team would be in there very quickly indeed.

He has pulled his socks up since I last commented on this thread He’s a sure fire pick week in week out for Utd Plus if he was for sale I’m doubting he would come back to a club That struggles for 12/13/14th season in season out He has ambitions to win a medal or 6

I'd also imagine he's on a United-sized contract so his pay expectations would far exceed our pay scale, particularly for a right back. I'd guess the lower paid members of United's squad probably earn more than anyone at Palace outside of Wilf.

FFP doesn’t apply to Man Utd, you must of noticed this. AWB won’t be coming back here, he has moved to a level above us in terms of value. £25m for a full back isn’t the most prudent way to spend any transfer funds.

Very good points as usual Syd. I'm pretty sure Dougie et al are already tracking bright young backs who'd be a lot cheaper than AWB.

Palace were very interested when a loan was proposed almost a year ago. Now his value has increased so from both a wage (£80k plus a week) and a transfer fee perspective (guessing £25m min) he is unaffordable.
