For me it is more of a question of whether we will actually use the money properly, or even at all, if we do sell him Keeping him (and Fatawu) gives us a decent shot at promotion Selling one or both seriously screws us The way the club is behaving I would rather just keep him - if he smashes it in the Championship we can still get a very good fee for him next summer

Ayew was good yesterday once Daka came on and was upfront and Ayew was behind him

He doesn’t have a clue about the release clause does he Said it was £24.5m last week

I think we saw yesterday that Ayew just is not suited to play as a striker for us

We are definitely going to carry on with just Ayew and Daka aren’t we

Needs to be similar value to Dibling at least The ACL injury cancels out the English tax

The injury in pre-season doesn’t really carry for very long when he played in the last pre-season game

I will definitely be starting to worry if he isn’t starting against Huddersfield

Huddersfield Pre-Match Press Conference Injuries Ricardo has "started to train with the group today so that’s a positive one. It’s not too long until we’ll see him." Kristiansen "will be assessed further by the club’s medical staff". De Cordova-Reid could be out more long term. On yesterday’s win and performance In terms of the whole performance I can’t say it was amazing, particularly the first half. But it’s important that we had the capacity to react and that’s what I value the most. It’s something that’s important for me and the ability to make adjustments. On Wout Faes I spoke with Wout and learned more about his time here, his feelings. All the players want to do their best and it’s not easy when you feel under pressure or scrutiny. I can’t speak about before I came, since I arrived he’s been training well. Yesterday he helped us a lot, not just the goal but our approach with the ball. Hopefully the fact that he played well, and the manager is happy with him, this can create the right platform for everybody to have a positive feeling. On expectations for Huddersfield game I expect a difficult game. A good team, physically strong and we need to be ready because they’ll be aggressive in the way they press. We need to be ready, mentally as well, because we want to have a good run in the cup. On changes for the game You saw yesterday that I used the five subs. I’m a believer in the impact of players from the bench. We’ll assess the squad today but it might be that we make changes. The game might require different options than the Sheffield Wednesday game. If he expects more players to leave after Ndidi and Hermansen No, I don’t know what’s going to happen. I cannot predict the future but it’s work in progress. It’s the same for all clubs in the country. I would prefer that the market is closed once the season is starting, but that’s the reality. The market is open so we just focus on the things we can control. Any further bids received for players Nothing new at the moment

Definitely going to shit the bed and throw £100k at Brownhill aren’t we

This is where Rudkin being our DoF comes in clutch because he has already forgot what the release clause is and by the time he remembers and then figures out how to get his emails open on his laptop it will have ended

His stats from the game yesterday are disgusting 40/43 passes 1 chance created - 0.03xA 0/1 successful dribbles 8 passes into the final third 1/2 accurate long balls 0 tackles won 1 block 3 recoveries 1 time dribbled past 0/2 ground duels won 0/2 aerial duels won 0 fouls committed or won He quite literally did nothing

Played it quite a bit over the weekend and really enjoyed it The scoped LMG is OP for medium to long range combat

One of them by the East stand wasn’t even working properly, one of the nozzles just kept throwing the fuel for it upwards but not lighting it

Not the music but they need to feck off with the flamethrowers

Begovic Aluko Nelson Vestegaard Justin Winks Page McAteer Alves Monga Daka

Even if he is bang average I think he will still be a bit of a better option in there than Soumare and Skipp and can at least offer a little bit of something He will at least get involved a bit on the defensive side Soumare and Skipp won 1 tackle between them today

At the moment I would go with Winks and Hamza I don't want to see either of Soumare or Skipp even on the bench - although I know that unfortunately that will not be the case

It is almost quite impressive that we have a midfield pairing that cost over £40m and probably £150k a week and it is absolute dogsh!t even in the Championship

I think if he was the free transfer rather than Bobby Reid it would be seen as a much better signing Just really wasn't a fan of us spending £5m on him and £20m+ on Skipp within a few days haha I can definitely see why Palace fans loved him

4 big chances missed

Thought he was pretty quiet in the first half but much better in the second half, especially when him and Ayew were both in the middle together Some great link up play between them
