If FdB is confirmed and with our ties with Sakho, do you think Parish has had brought up the conversation in the interviews around whether to sign him? The next obvious question is do you think that FdB will take the opportunity. I know £30m has been touted around, but even at that price I think he's worth it. Yes, it's a lot of money, but he's still young and oddly we have the rare fact that we know he would fit into the team, settle quickly (as he already has really) and would massively improve our team, not just as a defender, but as a leader and off the pitch.

What do you think?

I doubt he mentioned Sakho, as we aren't going to buy him, he will go in a swap deal for Van Dijk.

And score against us no doubt

Becuase our soon to be manager has a track record of bringing through talent from academy to first team. I'd say that is a big draw for a player when deciding which academy to go to.

Shall I go to United where there manager hardly ever brings players through. Or shall I go palace where FdB has a track record of bringing players in to the first team.

Wonder if he'll tap them up for academy players on the verge of breaking through that I'm sure he'd know about. Or possibly get some loan deals sorted.

Various possibilities

This statement is laughable. Wilf may not have gotten anywhere, but Utd have bought though players regularly because their academy is set up correctly. Ajax for the same reason. If we have the right set up then we will produce players of the right quality we are not there yet.
