Happinesstan Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Would we have turned down £13m for him in the summer had he not had a release clause? If so, we should be prepared to pay that for him now. Depends. Did he get a better contract when he signed for them? If so we'd probably have to match that. Then there is the question of signing on fee. no way we should lose money on the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circumstances have changed though, the players 'stock' isn't as high as what it was in the summer His stock was higher than £13m tbh, we had to let him go because there was a relegation clause for that amount.

James Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If Palace are desperate to get rid Townsend can just say he only wants to join us. They might then be forced to loan to us under the reasonable gamble that they can bank £10m as a permanent transfer on promotion clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Also worth mentioning though that Townsend doesn't want to play in the championship, he made sure when he joined that a relegation release clause was added and then left as soon as a premier league club came in for him He's not a benchwarmer either, he's basically playing every game. If it was a case of him not playing like at Spurs then this could happen but he's playing regularly in London with family close Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's got any football ambition at all he would jump at the chance to come back and play for a big club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Palace won't accept a loan even if it's a view to a permanent move in the summer. If he's going to go they will want money this January for a replacement or the deal just doesn't benefit them Signed Schlupp haven't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 3hr train journey, on the money players earn these days they could rent a house here for themselves and their girlfriends or wives and then pop down to London to see the rest of their clan whenever there was a break. I thought it was a short-sighted decision to leave in the first place, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he wants to come back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Palace have completely mishandled this guy man. Are they crazy?! He's such a productive player. They've just bought into Pardew's scape goating of him. Unreal stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Can't get over this It's Marveaux, Ben Arfa, Thauvin, Cabella, Gouffran ... all over again. If only there was a job for ruining players then Pardew would be set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
