Originally posted by Painter All this nonsense about wanting to play for his country is rubbish. He wanted to play for England, but then realised he was never going to be picked with Southgate in charge, due some poor behaviour whilst in the U21. Southgate is a known strict disciplinarian and bombed a few players out. So he saw his chance with the Ivory Coast, they were his second choice. He doesn't give a stuff about Palace and should be viewed as just another football mercenary. He will leave Palace at the first offer of more money, even if it means warming the bench. It was reported in a number of places that Southgate had spoken to Wilf recently and tried to change his mind, so your point can't possibly be correct.

Well said Painter. This is the grim reality of modern day football. None of them are Palace. They all follow the money. I'll bet most really good African players will be peddling there wares in China within 3 years. We will become a second rate league to china for sure.
