Might be worth to see if we can send Simon Jordan to the priory!
that would be good!
I think you should check the records to dispel that myth.We really shouldn't be disrespecting Palace, Blue. We struggle to beat them home and away most seasons.

The word I used was "struggled". Didn't give a full xG or pointometer statement.I think you should check the records to dispel that myth.

Dropped points in 50% of matches. Dropped points in six of 14 matches over last seven years.
Thinking about this more, it would be in whartons best interest to stay at palace, but I think he could be a very good player. It doesn't make sense for him to come and play limited minutes when rodri still has so much to offer for many more years.

Agree, but I'm also sure that if Wharton came in and adapted quickly, there'd be ways to play both of them together one way or another.

Rodri is immense as an 8 as well though. They could play together.Thinking about this more, it would be in whartons best interest to stay at palace, but I think he could be a very good player.

that would mean less of foden, bernardo, kev, bobb, etc centrally and I wouldn't want that. Additionally, if the idea is to bring in a rodri back up so that rodri can rest it wouldn't make any sense to play them togethor.Agree, but I'm also sure that if Wharton came in and adapted quickly, there'd be ways to play both of them together one way or another.

KDB and Bernardo may well not be here next season.that would mean less of foden, bernardo, kev, bobb, etc centrally and I wouldn't want that. Additionally, if the idea is to bring in a rodri back up so that rodri can rest it wouldn't make any sense to play them togethor.

it does while he's learning, no one is coming in and just playing when Rodri cant. it'd be 10 games a season at best. You either get someone who can play 6/8 or no one at allthat would mean less of foden, bernardo, kev, bobb, etc centrally and I wouldn't want that.

Next year makes sense for everyone involved but often we see in football transfers happen too soon.
He gets another PL season in and we get time to see how Nunes and McAtee adapt, see what’s happening with Kov, KDB and god forbid Bernado.
Can see it happening and maybe why we were hesitant on the Bruno G deal.

Stood out a mile to me from the first time I saw him play against us. I think this lad has incredible qualities and will be one of the best midfielders in the world, he always seems to have time on the ball, and he never seems to give the ball away, and he doesn't just pass it sideways or backwards either, it's all quick accurate incisive, splitting the lines with ease.
Having said that, I've seen nothing to suggest he would be able to fill in for Rodri at the moment. I'm not sure he has the experience yet to hold the fort on his own as a single DM and I don't think the dirty work of tracking runners and filling gaps in defence is his forte.
If we get Wharton we move to a double pivot I feel.

Players can also reject moves. If we are in for him Wharton might hold out. Especially if Pep resigns.It could be one of those where we move earlier than planned because we have to. Especially now the dippers have lost out on Zubimendi.
That missing hyphen is very important there, hopefully Pep re-signs and not resigns!Players can also reject moves. If we are in for him Wharton might hold out. Especially if Pep resigns
