ohmelads Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's probably our brinkmanship tactics which is how we've generally operated under Ashley. Paid off with deals like Sissoko and Carroll, but has cost us dear ending transfer windows without what we need. The philosohpy seems to be we either get a good deal or nothing at all. It's one of the reasons we are where we are - we are prepared to walk away and take the gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It seems that Townsend wants to hedge his bets by leaving on a loan deal, but that's no good to Palace. They need to sell him so that they can use the fee to get a replacement. This lad never seems to settle anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Even if we paid 12 Million for him it would be good value considering what other players who would perform similarly in the Championship would cost. He would probably be as if not more effective in this league than say knockaert but he would cost us 15 Million plus. I still don't think we will get him as someone in the Premiership will take him but if we get the chance we definately should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Can't believe how much of an idiot he is if this is all a case of him not wanting to come here permanently. Ah well, I'm over it whatever the reason - would've been nice but we'll manage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Personally, I quite like the idea of Townsend on the right and Ritchie at #10, still leaving the problem of who is on the left, of course... Every time a winger gets a few goals, somebody somewhere suggests him in a central role even when he blatantly doesn't suit it. This is a good example of that. Whislt there is some merit to what you say, the fact is that Rafa played him at #10 on the weekend after Lazaar came on. Ritchie played on the right for 63 minutes, then when Ameobi came on he switched to the left for the next 11 minutes until Lazaar came on, at which point he played the last 16 minutes in the hole. Rafa wanted to play him there - he pushed Perez up front to accommodate it - and so it's not unreasonable to posit that the option exists in Benitez's mind. To suggest that "he blatantly doesn't suit" the role is a furphy. It's not his natural position, but neither is playing Ritchie or Townsend on the left.

r0cafella Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Not sure if true, but someone told me Palace demand 3m loan fees. Makes sense given they owe us 3mill this month. We should just accept and pay the them the remaining in 10 in the summer given its highly likely we will go up. It's a risk but seems short sighted not to given a player of his ability would make promotion pretty secure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Still say he needs us more than we need him. He's not getting in their starting XI, his team are in the relegation zone and the Palace fans don't like him. If he stays there I'd say there's more chance of him being a Championship player in the summer than if he joins us this month so if he'll only move on a loan deal he's cutting his nose off to spite his face. Anyway I'd rather we concentrated on improving things in the centre of the pitch. Colback and Hayden showed themselves as hopelessly inadequate to step up to the plate in Shelveys absence and that needs addressing more urgently than signing a wide player which can wait until the summer. A creative central midfielder should be our priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Ashley will see it that way. £3Mil for 5 months, for a player they don't want, and we don't really need is insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with us not needing him tbh, we are absolutely desperate for a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankles Bennett Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Palace will cave in eventually, unless of course we sign Barrow, either way Palace don't get the cash they want in order to strengthen their side for the relegation battle, unless an EPL team comes in for him on the last day of the transfer window.
