RB is a position Palace have not strengthened since Wan Bissaka left. Which RB would you like if Palace have the funds this summer? I would be happy with Aarons, Wan Bissaka or Spence all would improve the RB options at the moment and would get in the starting XI. Max Aarons would cost under £20m (less than 1 year left his contract) Aaron Wan Bissaka (could be harder considering he has been doing well in the past month but if Qataris take over UTD they will heavily invest and that means AWB place could be at risk. He is probably the best one on one defender great last second tackles. Djed Spence (likely he will be sold. They have an obligation to buy Porro for £40m this summer he will be no 1 choice plus they still got Emerson Royal.) Wilfried Singo (RB who plays for Torino decent player like Aarons 1 year contract left so probably £20m or less)

Has anyone ever watched Max Aarons play and thought he looks worth the hype? I don't think we have the strength in depth across enough positions to justify spending anywhere near £20m on a right back and there will be options at £10m who would do a perfectly good job for a club like us. We might just have to do a bit more searching to find them.

I have watched Max Aarons a few times and to my eyes he has not justified the hype.An attacking right-back and very fleet of foot but I have not been overly impressed with his all-round game. I will add that over the years I have been in the company of those from the 'World' of football and there have been situations where there has been a real split in the opinions in relation to certain players with half positive and half not so positive ! I have a recollection of engaging in conversation with a scout who never rated Michael Dawson as highly as others when he was at Nottm Forest but our opinions differed.Dawson went on to play numerous seasons in the PL !

There was a lot of hype around Aarons a couple of seasons ago. He hasn't really developed as expected but would probably be an upgrade on what we have, plus he's still quite young I believe. Aarons can play left back at a push too, so would probably cover a lot of bases for us. I would think maybe 15mil at the most but am just guessing really.

Apropos Spence, Tottenham signed him for £12.5 Mill which could rise to £20 Mill.

AWB seems out of our price range so best to move on. Aarons just looks like a younger Clyne - very small, very one footed, fast and direct, but can be bullied a bit. A move hasn't happened for him, and i'm not sure he's developed from being a promising youngster. Spence looks great in a 3-5-2, which we rarely play. Again better going forward than defending. Spurs might accept a loan. I know not the youngest but the other (ex) Spurs RB Matt Doherty will be available for free this summer. Can play both RB and RWB. He's 2 years younger than Ward and i would say a better player.

I will throw another name in there Matty Cash. There has been talk of Villa wanting Kyle Walker, and Ashley Young has been playing right back recently (though Cash had picked an injury on international duty).

Matty Cash started out as a midfielder, he played in central midfield and on both flanks.He was converted into a right-back at Nottm Forest I believe when Mark Warburton was manager.

Neither looks very tall - i'd say 5ft 7 to 8 ish for both. Mitchell is supposedly 5 ft 9 - i would say he was taller than Clyne. Regardless of size i'm happy to offer the opinion that Aarons is not dominant in the air, which is a concern as we are not the tallest of teams Edited by palace99 (02 May 2023 4.15pm) Edited by palace99 (02 May 2023 4.16pm)
