Rumours about Harry Wilson. Would be delighted. Don't think there's any chance we'll get him.
-
surely not
-
I assume that's a potential summer signing, when he can stick with the same manager.
-
Looks like Oscar Bobb is going to Fulham for £35m. He's had a few injuries and English premium applies, but he looks a much better bet than McAtee for similar money.
-
He's not English. Wilson replacement?
-
Also, he's a goal scoring midfielder/winger who's 22 with 3 goals in 47 appearances and a lengthy injury history. Feels like a massive punt.
-
English premium applies to McAtee when comparing his value to Bobb's.
-
Gotcha. I don't think he looks better value than McAtee though, his value is predicated on one goal.
-
Top 6 premium applies to Bobb.
Maybe that applied to McAtee as well as the English one.

Ornstein says Villa are interested in Mateta. Palace haven't won in 11 and could really be in trouble if they carry on like this, they're only 6 points ahead of us and it's going to be difficult to attract good players when they don't know if they'll be in the new manager's plans in 6 months' time.
-
Lots of sub appearances in that though. He looked very good until his broken leg at the start of the 24/25 season. Not reached anywhere near the same heights since.
-
That applies to half the league though. Who can you say will definitely be in place for the start of next season? Arteta, Emery, Andrews, Le Bris, Moyes, probably Slot and Hurzeler. Almost all of the others are 50/50 or worse.
-
Romano now reporting that Mateta's representatives have informed Palace that he wants to leave in this transfer window.
Our friends from South London appear to be having a real crack at out-Foresting Forest in the how-to-fuck-up-the-season-after-a-belter stakes. Presuming Parish will stay we're responsible for his manager and best players leaving?
-
...we would likely have become a similarly self-fuelled skip fire, if somone hadn't sent the boys round over the MGW move to totteningham.
It's the nature of the modern game....after a good season players want to take the chance to get out on an upward curve, and brand clubs want to take the best bits to keep their position.

Hard to see Palace not getting enough points to finish 17th or better - at worst they'd need another 10-12 points.
But they are looking at a newly promoted teams level of recruitment in the summer, as well as finding a new manager. And if they did win the europa conference and have to cope with European football again, it gets even harder.
