Koke Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 13 minutes ago, Babylon said: How do you move forward from Mahrez exactly? Signings like him, Kante and Vardy are rare gems. He is far more likely to be a replacement for Musa in the squad anyway. I hope you're right. I just don't think we'd fork out tbat much on someone who will be 3rd or 4th choice like Musa is. If Townsend comes for that fee then I'm inclined to think he's a replacement for Mahrez unfortunately.
Babylon Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 Thought Palace fans would snap our hands off for that money, but quite a few aren't happy.
Koke Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 There are some Newcastle fans on Twitter who insist Townsend has a £14m release clause at Palsce. Newcastle were linked with him back in May/June. I hope to god they're right and the Mirror is wrong.

I wouldn't take too much notice of that. There are a few Leicester fans who wouldn't take £80m for Drinkwater and think it's fine to pay £100m for Sigurdsson.

I can see Rudders on the phone now Rudders - "We are interested in Andros Townsend" Palace - "He has a 14 million pound release clause" Rudders - "We will give you 27 million then" Palace - "Make it 30 million and he's yours" Rudders - "OK it's a deal".

Ah, there's nothing like a good Rudkin joke.... and this is nothing like a good one...

HankMarvin Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 It's crazy prices people talk about the madness of AT price, but who in their right mind would've thought DD could be spoken about as a 40 million pound player after last season at the end of the season

Sorry but Andros Townsend is an addition to the squad not a replacement for a PFA player of the year.
DannyN83 Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 Not saying Townsend is a good replacement If Mahrez goes, but realistically is with four days to go?? No more than 15 mill though.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 Just imagine what Lee Philpott would be worth in today's market. The mind boggles.

This outcome does not bare thinking about.
lcfcsnow Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 Someone needs to remind Shakey we've only ever been a force with a creative wide player. First it was Knockaert to get us going in the Championship then Mahrez took us to the next level. I know it's Shakespeare's dream but replacing that with just hard work and graft like the rest of the team isn't going to work.

I cannot emphasis this enough, with no creative source in central midfield or any other position it's essential our winger is a play maker. I fear for us this season if we lose Mahrez and co.

Are they referring to Mahrez as Moroccan?
