Would argue McAtee has shown more than Bobb. Both are 21 years old. McAtee had 9 goals and a few assists in ~39 Championship games. And 6 G/A in ~30 Premier League games last season.Laughable. He has potential but he’s shown zero in comparison to what Bobb, Palmer and Foden showed at young ages. He’s not ready and Pep will show you that with his team selections this season. No chance he starts a big match, or comes off the bench in one when the score is close once everyone has got a pre season out the way. Not writing him off completely, but he isn’t ready.
seems palace will have a paper thin squad by the end of the window and most likely will win their 1st net spend trophy!Get both of them. Wow job done
C'mon no fucking way.
C'mon no fucking way.
id take Wharton, dont see the need for EzeIf them release clauses are accurate, I would take both opposed to Bruno G for say 100M

No way Kante is coming backWe've got the money. Musiala and N'golo Kante would make it a good window for me.

Won't be telling in any way,except some narrative that you project onto what we do or don't do.
No way - they have only just recently said they value him at £100m.
52 mill release clause is bollocksNo way - they have only just recently said they value him at £100m.
Have some context. Julian is 24. McAtee is 21. Alvarez has proven to be a top striker. IMO he's also proven that with him in any other position we don't win anything of consequence. As far as being "accomplished" obviously Alvarez is much further ahead. In terms of pure footballing skills if you think McAtee is not in the same ballpark as Julian I would agree. McAtee is much better on the ball, has better vision, and is a better player in tight spaces, so yes, they are in complete different ballparks as players...We're comparing McAtee to Alvarez now? He's not even in the same ballpark as a player.
My first paragraph was in response to you in terms of why we may or may not be doing business as far as buying.Im not suggesting I don’t trust the club - it would be sensible not buying big on transfers and wages if they thought they might get guilty. I’m suggesting IF we don’t go out and make a major signing we are probably doing so with one eye on the 115. It remains to be seen if we do sign someone.
I haven’t used any of them words you suggested. Sure, we still enter into commercial agreements and we still have other players on big wages - I’m not suggesting otherwise. But that’s different to taking on new players for big fees & wages.
Not just on the basis of not replacing Alvarez. Not getting in anyone to help Rodri. As in previous post, if Pep thought Kovacic could be fully trusted in that role or that we had enough others in the club that can he’d have given Rodri a lot more rest last season. Let’s see what happens, but the next few weeks will be telling.
He may not, but I prefer the minutes Alvarez was getting in the 10 go strictly to Foden, KDB, Bobb and even Grealish than watching a striker struggle mightily in that role or worse yet as an 8. I'd prefer having McAtee around to learn and back those guys up...JMO...I hope your right but I can't see him getting much game time.
Steady on its twitter ffsIf Alvarez fucks this deal by asking for too much money...
