Adam Wharton

If we havent at the very least make enquiries already, then we need to rethink who's doing our recruitment.

Love that step over followed by the pass inside through the eye of the needle.
could also be an 8, he's that good. Perfect for us in the way we like players that are flexible
 
How is he defensively ?
Not entirely sure personally, but okay I think. Would love him though on the basis that it's a Pep team and he'd help us keep possession and progress the ball.

One thing defensively is he does go to ground for a slide tackle a fair bit. He'd be guaranteed yellow cards playing that way for us, though I'm sure he could work on things etc.

What was impressive in that video he looks as though he's always trying to find a forward pass whereas at the moment we have too many comfortable with a sideways. Let's hope Cherki breaks that mould
 
Get the price down. Not a particular outstanding player and still plenty of work with him. Remember the hype with Bellingham (I was initally on board with that along with Haaland as two must sign players). Mason Mount too was considered a prospect.

The difference appears to be that Wharton as yet is not a media darling whereas Bellingham and Mount have always seemed to be media love-children

I don't think Wharton is that special either. Get the price down then fair enough give him a crack.

No problem if you didn't, but did you watch that video of him v Everton?

Most of the players we buy still need some work, or are stepping up a level so not quite a sure thing. Is that the issue for you? Are you wanting us to sign someone who is more of a cert?

The difference is that Bellingham never played in the Premiership whereas Wharton has and has proved himself. Bellingham went off to Germany from Birmingham as we know it isn't too difficult to shine in that League eg Sancho
 
Can’t get the price down if there‘s 3 other top clubs interested in him

Unless the player says they're only interested in one club, but then we guess Palace wouldn't have to sell.

I still don't understand how Liverpool seemed to get a free run at Mac Alister for the price they got him.

We’ve no chance of getting the price down because every elite team will be banging on palace’s door, this kid is special & destined for the very top, hopefully whilst wearing a city shirt
 
We have a global scouting networks that constantly identifies top young players all over the world. It is a little baffling that we and other local clubs were not all over him when he moved from Blackburn. He is basically a local lad.
 
We should be all over him.

I like what Viana has done, he bought in targets then moved the deadwood. I always worried we might miss out on a player like Wharton because we have plenty of midfielders and would mean someone like Kovacic having to be moved on.

Yeah he is OK apparently. What a load of horse shite. The lad is a definate star in the making. At a top club be up there best mids in prem
