They want £2m loan fee and £13m on top of that to buy.  Let him stay at Palace.  There's no guarantee he will be able to replicate his form of last year anyway.

 

£15m altogether with the prices the way they are right now is a steal, he's talented and perfect for Rafa's 4-2-3-1.

If Palace want to be dicks then let them. Just keep it in mind the next time they want to loan a player from us (if they ever do).

 

We need another winger and all things considered £15m for Townsend is great business for us at the minute. Fucking about to try and get him for £13-14m just seems like another uneccisary risk given he's our only target (the other risk being that he's our only target to begin with). If it was the start of summer I'd understand us not stumping up the cash straight away but we need to get the deal done or go into the final half of the season with Gouffran still on the wing.

I wouldn't say it's a steal but it would likely ensure promotion so it's certainly worth paying a bit of a premium to get it done.

£15m for an England international who's only 25. It's bloody cheap with the madness going on right now. Personally i think anything for any player over £5m is nuts, the way the world is anyhoo.

Fat Sam will be wanting an extra turret built on his castle that Ashley paid for, hence the extra 2 Mil.

 

Jokes aside it wouldn't surprise me at all if Ashley was haggling on this because Allardyce made a fool of him about that house.

What was it called again? Casa St James'?

I bet Ashley thinks sacking Allardyce was the biggest mistake he's ever made as owner here.

 

I don't see why. He's been sacked by West Ham and England since then. His reputation is as a relegation specialist, that pretty much tells you all you need to know about his standing in the game.

How does he have a reputation as a relegation specialist? :lol:

 

He's never been relegated from the PL

I presume he means escaping relegation and by this you know he's a shit manager because he's always in and around the relegation zone.
