To quote Smokie, Mickey, Mickey, who the f*** is Mickey?

Precisely. It should be Mické.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

If there is no release clause we should only sell for silly money as he is naturally gifted, has end product, is only 21 and qualifies as a homegrown player. Outside of Saka is there a comparable player in the PL?

If we sell him for 40m that sets a dangerous precedent that our best players can be got for peanuts (by today's insane prices). I don't see him fitting in at Chelsea after watching them yesterday, but I could definitely see him fitting like a glove at City. But they have Foden and Silva who would probably start ahead of him wide right and those two are exceptional. If he gets fit and continues his form from the end of last season then clubs won't be knocking on the door they'll be bringing a cash-shaped battering ram.

I wonder how much truth is in these reports,

Article below suggests a sale price of £45m,far more realistic and questions whether the £35m release clause was ever in place or even removed.
