Just give us 10m and pi$$ off. I get the annoyance regarding any form of loyalty. However, football clubs themselves only have significant loyalty to players who hold fiscal value for them. This is a business and while relationships obviously develop the bottom line is never far away from how long a footballer is at a club. So as football is a short career the motivation for a player to not miss out on making as much money as possible is a strong one. Back in the day when a player's wages were more related to the working man the loyalty aspect could play a larger role. Football had a far closer connection to the working class then. It would be more common for a first team player to see out his career with his first club...Cannon for us, Brooking for West Ham and so on. Now top level football like the Premier league is more corporate and as such more impersonal. Proper money disconnects. It's why your local lower league club will feel more grounded and connected to its area.

Just give us 10m and pi$$ off. Why would that bother you? Ffs no club was interested in him when he bombed at Palace, Hes gone and made a name for himself, and performed, Trabs will earn out of this as well as Palace. That's football, good luck to him, because personally I thought his career was over, apart from going back to Norway. I wish him all the best, personal attack's on ex palace players, not warranted.

Anything we get is a bonus, we can all argue about if he had chances with us or not. He was s*** when he played, I remember fans of the club he came from laughing at us because we paid what we did, the truth is the only reason he is worth anything is because he scored 33 goals in Turkey. The Turks have increased his value so are due a cut.

Still baffled as to how they've managed to walk off with 20m for a player they don't own & other than part covering his wages they've laid out sod all. €34m is a hell of a deal if correct but how have we not got the Lion's share ?

I'm also just catching up on all this now. Why can't we get him back again? Or do we just not want to...? If anyone's earned a second crack here, it's got to be him? Sorry you're all probably sick of talking about it.

Palace are due to miss out on a striker that could have been what we have been looking for since Murray Did you watch any of those 8 starts? It is frustrating that he has gone away and done well. Did anyone think at the time he would be the next Glenn Murray. More Judy Murray the games I watched. If we can some how make a tidy profit on a player that has managed 16 games for us and scored zero goals. I think the club should be congratulated. Batshuayi’s record in a Roy team was 11 games, 6 goals. FYI
