It's OK, his wages are not a problem, according to this(headlines) he's only on £72pw. Yup 72 . . . [Link]

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

You're saying this as if Galatasarays starting 11 aren't decent. They have a good squad. As for a "petulant has been"... might be because he was playing under Roy's football which is the benchmark for what Southgate is getting England to play. Bloody woeful, boring, negative ball. He's still a calibre above Edouard and he can still score.

I think you're right. It's just about the money.

There are plenty of useful players older than 31.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

I saw a few Galatasaray matches last year where Wilf either started or came off the bench. He seemed much more willing to play in a team rather than take everyone on himself.

If it did happen, I think we'd be getting a more rounded player returning than the one that left.

There are other factors to consider, such as what the coaching staff think about Franca, JRS and anyone else who might be on their radar. Olise has still not officially left.

But if there is a gap in the squad after all the above is taken into account, and if the finances work, then I'd take him back for sure.

Big No from me. He does not have the work ethic required for a Glasner team. Look at how players have improved since he left, right across the pitch. He was a great servant to the club and we thank him for that but he was paid very well for it. He also held us to ransom until the end of his contract last year until the last minute preventing us looking for an adequate replacement. If he cared about Palace not his own personal gain he would not have done this.

I hope SP will not push through his recruitment against a manager's wish like he did in the past

That's the elephant in the room. He may well decide that a move to Spammers or another PL club is the more sensible option (in which case I just hope he's suspended when whoever plays us).
