Words in the mouth again You really are flailing because what I understand is your case - that not developing and retaining our home grown talent is a precursor to relegation - just has no basis in facts In the past six years, we have finished between 11th and 15th every year with hardly any use of home-grown players. I'm sure you can enlighten me but who else is there other than Wan-Bissaka that hasn't been purchased? And he has played effectively one season We have attracted international players - albeit at high prices and wages - and are currently just 9th favourite to be relegated

Let's cut through the crap. Are you seriously telling me that you would rather have money in the bank than seeing one of the best talents we have produced turn out in a Palace shirt? A yes or no answer.

Wow. How many times? If we need to sell then the money won't be invested in players. We would need another right back for starters. This club does not need profit. It needs players. Wan-Bissaka wants to go. If you're not happy, harrass him on Twitter instead of being a sulky girlie on here.

Right back is the easiest position to replace on the pitch. As much as I don't want to see him go, if he does for circa £50m it is quite likely we would be able to: Sign a new right back In my opinion this would make us stronger and at the end of the day that is what I want see. So, if losing AWB means that, I'm all for it. Can we do all of the above without selling him? I don't know.

Opinions are like Assholes everyone has them, and some stink. My opinion, is that is we will get labelled as a selling club and never be anything else. AWB is a young lad with the world (literally) at his feet. At this stage in his career I think going to a big club would stifle his development, but I'm guessing the big bucks are calling. However as per every season we have been in the prem, we will be last off the blocks in the window, probably sell AWB for 50 million on deadline day, and leave ourselves short of a decent right back, or end up paying over the odds for a replacement or make do with Kelly at right back until the Jan window. Typical Palace transfer activity awaits is my gut feeling. The media dept at Palace pushing Sortloth did nothing to quell my fears, nor did Luka turning down his offer. Edited by Dannyh.V2 (13 Jun 2019 2.06pm) i dont think a move to united would stifle his career...he will be 1st choice RB at the club, if it was liverpool or citeh with TAA or walker infront of you i would agree.

Like what? Goals. F*cking boring watching most of the home games last season, without seeing many goals.

I couldn’t give a monkeys if it does stifle his career. Let’s take the money, buy a goal scorer , then buy him back for peanuts if he fails like Zaha did, or have a big sell on fee when he moves on to Barcelona. Win win.

The one place this money isn't going is 'in the bank'. Either it will be used to invest in replacements to reinforce the squad or it will be used to pay off loans to avoid yet another administration.

A figure of speech. Firstly, we will not go into administration. Second, you will not improve the first eleven with 50 million unless you spend it on one player, a striker.
