No way would I want to repay the 13M fee but I would be happy to repay the 13M fee to Palace that we sold him for minus a "loan fee" for losing him from our squad for 6 months.

 

This deal should cost Palace some money, especially as his form has dipped since we last had him in Black and White

Have decided I'd really love it if he came back. He's clearly a step above this division and, what's more, he's got bags of pace and as we've seen several times this season - it's something we generally lack. Yedlin is an exception so to have it on both sides (you'd envisage Ritchie and Townsend switching during the course of home games), would be massive for us.

In for a rude awakening if you think Rafa is going to play him and Ritchie imo.

 

One of them would be on the bench.

He's started Ritchie and Atsu together. No reason he wouldn't play Townsend with the former.

Ritchie was on the left quite a lot today. I'd imagine they could both play very easily.

Thought that was killing two birds by putting sameobi on for shop window purposes while also testing Richie out on the left again. I do think ritchie is weaker on the left but with wingers that switch sides throughout the game. It could be drool worthy.

 

Maybe he didn't like it seeing as he gave lazaar some minutes lol

 

No one will see the masterplan of playing Atsu Ritchie and Townsend all at once.

Ameobi can't play for any team other than ourselves or Bolton this season

In which case I honestly wouldn't see the point, then.

Good point.

Not just this season, but Matt Ritchie and Andros Townsend as your wingers would definitely be good enough in the Premier League. Potentially if we sign Atsu he is adequate back up on one wing, too.

 

Hopefully we get this sorted so in the summer Rafa can focus on strengthening our central midfield and defence along with a couple of back up players for depth.
