There’s a middle ground though, there’s nothing unprofessional about telling your club you want a move.

Do we know if he’s done anything to make it happen, like telling Parish he wants to go?

Just hijack the Lacroix deal and be done with it.

I’m feeling negative.

I think selling is the smart thing to do for Palace, but Parish also clearly cares a lot about his own image. Not selling would probably better for his popularity at this point.

Parish will be licking his lips. I wouldn’t be surprised if he can lick his whole face tbh.

I’m not sure Toney gets in the Chelsea team ahead of Jackson, he’s turning out to be a decent player IMO.

We score enough goals, but as a team we surrender possession way too much. It’s obviously not just down to the RW, but the lack of technical ability down that side is a big problem. Our RW’s just can’t deal with being pressed and can’t play a possession game. This ends up putting pressure on the rest of the team as we’re vulnerable to getting countered.

Even if we get him I feel like we’ve been bent over by Parish. Crazy crazy fee.

I find it hard to believe Mitchell and Nickson are wanting to spend the entire summer chasing high profile barely obtainable premier league players. I do think there is a schism that has fucked up the transfer window.

Sorry what, the public nature has rubbed Palace up the wrong way?

It seems to have gone a bit quiet on Lacroix to Palace as well. Parish really seems willing to just keep him unless we make our silly offer even sillier.

I think we can assume there’s no backup option at this point.

I don’t have an issue with people feeling negative. We have just over 4 days left and a lot of work to be done, so we’re very much in the wet bed zone.

He’s their number 1 right now because Muric got sold to Ipswich.

I still don’t really get the Trafford interest. He may be talented but he lost his place to Muric last season so isn’t ready to be our number 1, which means he needs to develop, which means he needs first team football somewhere, so isn’t suitable to be our number 2 either. I’d be surprised if our financial position is so good we can spend 8 figures on a development player that won’t improve us this season. Some of our outfield starters yesterday are bottom 5/championship standard.

It’ll be an unlucky position to be in if the only players that would benefit us are also unobtainable.

I think our style of play is predictable and only really works when we’re 100%. We need to work towards a more possession based game and this should really have been addressed in the transfer market over the last 3 months. It feels like we just try to force things every time we have ball and we just end up losing it quickly.

It’s the same old problem of a lack of technical ability in midfield and on the wings, so we struggle to keep the ball and we shit the bed whenever we’re pressed. If we’re not able to play at 100mph we’re in trouble.

The way he says Slot is causing me pain as well.

This analysis of Ryan Gravenberch is fascinating. More please.

I’ve never understood what makes this a podcast. It’s just Neville doing a short interview for sky, usually about the latest Man U game. Unless podcast just means anything you can put on the internet.

Maybe you’re right, there’s just something weird about it. That would be 187m, which would be average pay of 120k per week across a squad of 30.

Where are you getting £180m from?

Floppy hands from Martinez. Seeing his face when he concedes is enjoyable.
