1. You think AWB and his agent wouldn’t push for a move to the biggest club in the world on £80k or whatever per week and prefer to stay and play in front of the main stand? Yeah right. Have a look at his latest Instagram posts. Actually don’t. It’s too upsetting how much players love it elsewhere.

2. We bid for several players but wouldn’t go to £20 mil and Clyne got injured. As much as I dislike it, we’re probably biding our time for value because ward isn’t long term.

3. We could’ve bought a right back that wouldn’t have significantly weakened the team. It’s right back, not CB, def mid, midfield, centre forward or anywhere through the spine of the team. PVA has been shocking at LB for a year. Has the team and club crumbled to the point of extinction? No.

Your last sentence is amusing. ‘We are now relying on loans and cheap aging or sick note players.’ In the summer this is exactly what you were saying we should do. Keep everyone here until buyers come in and save us (take us to fantasy land), and in the meantime only loan players in we need. Striker, anyone creative. That is exactly what you were suggesting and now you’re slating it because you’re so married to this AWB opinion you’re either willing to contradict yourself and rubbish your original opinions, or you just can’t remember what you’ve said because you’ll never let go of selling AWB will destroy cpfc.

I respect a lot of your opinions on politics and current affairs but on this subject you’re being quite similar to an ideological and illogical leftie, where again, they are not, and will not, hopefully, ever be given the reigns to be in the position. Because as we saw with the Lib Dem’s, opposition is easy, power isn’t.

I tend to agree, we are not in the situation where a £20m full back is a priority. We have Ward who is steady lacks pace but has experience and Kelly as a back up.
The striker situation is more of pressing issue, looking to not make the Benteke error again in splashing out £30m. I know we bid for the Russian, but the price kept rising, there was no guarantee he would adapt to the Premier, so Parish didn’t meet the price to avoid having a £30m version of Sorloth.

Is that your best?

I started drinking and traveling the country watching Palace at 13 and got into pubs and nightclubs at 16.

I get your frustration. I’m seriously unimpressed with no RB cover, and more so if ward gets injured. But this is real life. Not a board game you walk away from for lunch or when you’ve done your bollox on pretend money.

Not even close.

Selling AWB did really piss me off I must admit but I will get over it, like all the other Palace disappointments.

Did I suggest that?

You keep shifting the conversation.

What I said is in black and white.

I do find it funny when we make 45 million quid on an academy player and then use having that money as the excuse for not spending it.
If we were going to reinvest the money in players then why not just keep AWB? We only spent 5 million of it.
