70m+ for a kid who's played 16 PL games, i must admit i haven't seen much of him but at those prices, the kid must be a superstarHow much do you expect him to be he’s only been at palace for 6 months.

I was more talking about the player profile but that is what Palace will want for him they hold all the cards in the negotiation if we wanted him.And that's BEST CASE scenario!
What's the worst case?

His name cropped up in the meeting.
Will he?He will go for that next summer so what’s the point in waiting?
Say if he doesn't follow up on his promising start and stagnates somewhat over the next 12 months? Likewise he could have a great season and be worth £100m next season.
Football is also a very reactionary sport. Wharton wasn't really known 12 months ago. Neither was Yamal.
This time next year there will be new "superstars", new shiny toys and new "the next big things". Wharton may be seen as a star by then, likewise he may be seen as a good player in an average team with others elsewhere overtaking him in the trendy new toy charts.

I just don’t think city have heard about him when he just joined Palace, I think they knew about him at Blackburn as the reviews on him were amazing.Will he?

If he stays in the England squad and plays at the same level we are in a bidding war and City don’t often get in bidding wars for players. If Kovacic goes next season and Nunes leaves aswell he is the perfect replacement long term.
Get him in now and get a bedding in season so when he goes into the World Cup year he is at that level to play regularly and shouts for first name in the team sheet.

I expect Pep to extend purely on the basis to make Alan Shearer look a complete and utter tw@.Athletic reporting
Pep admires Rodrygo, if we sign him then we surely can expect for Pep to extend
Internal talks of Eze
Txiki could reignite interest in Bruno.G
Absolutely agree. If a bidding war ensues, we won't be involved. We've shown for a long time we don't overpay for players and won't be used to play off against other clubs.I just don’t think city have heard about him when he just joined Palace, I think they knew about him at Blackburn as the reviews on him were amazing.

But I don't think we can say at this stage he's the perfect replacement for anyone in our squad. He would be a risk, as all signings are, but for £70m this would be a huge risk. Let's stay grounded here, he's full of promise but hasn't achieved anything yet. I'd imagine that's why Tolmie has alluded to the fact we are/were happy to wait a year and see how he progresses before making a decision.

Completely true it is a massive risk for us considering the money we have spent on Phillips and Nunes.Absolutely agree. If a bidding war ensues, we won't be involved. We've shown for a long time we don't overpay for players and won't be used to play off against other clubs.

I just think we won’t get him next summer if he has another good season because of the bidding war for him. It could be less than £70m and Tolmie has said something about a release clause for £52m I just think if I’m palace and the season is starting this weekend plus the futures of Eze, Guehi up in the air, they will want top money for him.
Alan doesn't need Pep's help to do that.I expect Pep to extend purely on the basis to make Alan Shearer look a complete and utter tw@.

I haven’t seen it anywhere online of nothing, it’s just a valuation for him in my opinion considering his contract and we are in the last month of the window.Where's £70m come from for Wharton? (Not doubting it, just wondering!)

So Pep will tell the whole City's squad, because of my new toy Rodrygo I feel excited again and I want to stay ?

Ah fair play, couldn't see it anywhere! Makes sense
