It doesn't matter. The money bid is real, regardless of whether we will get him or not.

It is a statement of intent and is very welcome from most of us i suspect.

If you could have asked the majority of Palace fans in 2010 if theyd take a cup final and a bid for a player of over £30m I'm sure there would be little complaining.

the wages weve freed up in shifting out the dead wood would free up the money to offer him decent wages.

Wow just wow if all that's true holy foook! It's actually mind blowing could have 3 class played for just over £40 mil ! All internationals, but knowing how the club is run we will offset these with other players being sold. And if gayle is £10 mill I'm fearing bolasie leaving.

always better than watching England.

about the only time England came close to the way I feel about palace was Italia 90....I related to the emotion like I do palace. England have been good since then...96 for example....but the emorion I feel with palace always far outweighs how I feel when England lose.

I have I slipped into some sort of coma?

Brexit, Iceland and now Batshuayi. And over £30m??? WTF is going on with the world????

Now here's Wright, his first chance to see what he can do, and he's through, it's Wright, ohhhh what an impact by the substitute. And it's Ian Wright who's sent the Palace fans into ecstasy!

Yeah might be a bit of poker face going on or a double bluff and we have another target ? Maybe still benteke at cheaper than batshuayi? I duno I'm just so excited it's well not very palace all this.
