Unlike poorly run clubs we appear to be in a sound financial position with no immediate obligations to sell our best players. We have also renegotiated and extended contracts to cover ourselves against the predatory PL clubs as best we can.

We were caught with our pants down with Wilf and now we have learned our lesson. So well done to the club for excellent appointments and good fiscal sense.

That said if we are offered -£60M for either Eze, Olise, Guehi or Wharton then we will have to accept, say thank you for your service and move on if the player wants to take up the offer.

I believe we have a great set of characters in the squad so no one is desperate to leave as far as I can see!!

If Eze has a career death wish then he signs for Spurs. Apart from, maybe Peter Taylor can anyone name one Palace player who went to Spurs and thrived?

Don't recall Peter Taylor pulling up many trees when he went to Spurs either. He won all his England caps when he was with us and in his first season there Spurs got relegated, if I remember right.

That leaves Wayne Routledge and Andy Gray as the benchmarks.

John Boswell was that lad from Liverpool.

John Bostock was ruined at Tottenham.

Spurs always put a squeeze on us over players and get them unsettled. The Bostock one and I think the Routeledge deals went to tribunal. I dislike Spurs with a passion…

But they're a huge club! They won the league only 63 years ago.
The fact they are perennial bottle jobs with Levy in charge and a manager who looks as though he's going to walk out at any minute is a mere bagatelle.
