I would go for a Kebab.......
We need to relatively soon however, we don’t have many homegrown players

Not surprised he's chosen Palace, but if that's a sign of our intent then I f***ing love it.

Yep, we definitely need to copy the Barça model, ie the world famous masia. Regarding administration I prefer our model.

Onwards, understand him staying in London, not sure it will enhance his career but we’ll see.

Agree. Lives down there anyway so don’t imagine he’d want to uproot.

The thing is everyone expects the manager to be gone by June. Seems a strange move for the lad. The pull of London probably sorted the deal out but I have a feeling that’s his level now.

Fairly pleased to miss out on this one tbh. Not a bad player but £35m does seem a lot.

This. 20-25m seems a good deal for a player that would have improved us but at 35m it's not enough value for the market imo

So who is he replacing then at palace?

I didn't want him, but I don't understand his logic in going to Palace. Glasner seems to have pushed for his signature but in 6 months he probably has left the club. So there is a chance the next coach might not fancy him or fit into the style, so he's stuck back on the bench. He'd have been better off just going for a loan somewhere and seeing what happens in the summer.

Palace could have a great player on their hands there. But the price is a wake up call for how much homegrown talent costs especially in January.
As much as we’d like to see any improvement I don’t think we should smash the budget with expensive signings this month. Save that for the summer. We have every chance of staying in the mix for a top 10 finish, scoring a few more goals will determine whether that is achievable.
