Fair point, can you name these better value 21 year old full backs to be found elsewhere for 15 million?

Sounds like a reasonable answer to a bid of 25m actually.I feel like if the 70m talk is just posturing, they will accept 50m.
To be honest, I would like us to see how the likes of O'Connor, Laird, even Fosu Mensah in a tough preseason friendly match before making move for any defender in the market. One of them could be as good or even better than the ones we're looking to sign.
I would pay that for young talents like Wan Bissaka. I hope this happens.In a world where Kyle Walker (who isn't exactly Mr. Outstanding) cost £50m two years ago, it isn't exactly surprising that AWB would cost at least the same.
Not demanding. Just expecting.Have you been in demanding a 400% pay rise yet?
Well I'm rooting for you.Not demanding. Just expecting.
£50m is the max I'd like to see us play.
The same player can be worth different amounts (even if we kept his age and performances as a constant) in different windows because it's also down to the alternatives available in the market. In our case Munier is ready to go from PSG and as a very good plan B to turn to I don't think we should be held ransom for AWB.
He's also not as proven as Walker was in the premier League at the time of purchase, so the comparison not really relevant.
Nah. By your own silly calculations they shouldn't ask for more than 55 000 015 pounds.AWB base fee £25m
Manchester United tax £10m
English tax £10m
Ashley Young current RB tax £10
United desperation tax £5
Ed Woodward tax £10m
Honestly, I'd say Crystal Palace is pretty fair to ask for £70million.
AWB base fee £25m

This.Worth every penny if it means we don’t need to watch Young kick a football again.

Would like this guy but for crazy money I’d sooner go meunier. As I trust dalot can still develop to be our rb.
Muenier wouldn't be a bad idea actually. I have high hopes for Ethan Laird.
I'd pay it
Right back is a big issue for us and we need to stop dicking about with half measures
He [Dalot] is ready, just needs game. We have one of the brightest full backs around in Dalot, and yet we are going to sign another one in his position. The way this club is run is a joke, invest the money in a right winger, centre back etc.
Players always come out and talk shite, he wouldn’t be the first one to talk rubbish. We won’t know until mid August what the story is.Didn’t he already say he would be at Palace next season?

Rumours are that's the case. Problem is if you're paying that for someone, you don't want a gamble and at the moment he's had one good season.I feel like if the 70m talk is just posturing, they will accept 50m.
Agreed. I'm still not fully sold on this kid, and I'd rather try get Cancelo if the rumours about him wanting out of Juve are true.Rumours are that's the case. Problem is if you're paying that for someone, you don't want a gamble and at the moment he's had one good season.
I doubt any of their lot will be off now Allegri is gone. Seem's most of the negativity was around him.Agreed. I'm still not fully sold on this kid, and I'd rather try get Cancelo if the rumours about him wanting out of Juve are true.

Are we not a bit sick of players who are shit on the ball?
That means feck all if palace want to cash in.Didn’t he already say he would be at Palace next season?
The only thing that worries me is:
3 assists in 35 matches this season.
EDIT:
For comparison,
Ashley Young got 2 assists in 30 matches
Diogo Dalot got 2 assists in 16 matches
Trent Alexander-Arnold got 12 assists in 29 matches
Do you think TAA would be getting similar numbers for Palace? I'm inclined to say no.
For Hull, Andrew Robertson made:
16/17 - 2 assists in 31 matches (Premier League)
15/16 - 4 assists in 44 matches (Championship)
14/15 - 2 assists in 17 matches (Premier League)
https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115726/History/Andrew-Robertson
This season, he has made 11 assists in 35 matches
This is not to say we could purchase Wan-Bissaka and he'd be racking up 11/12 assists for us because I personally don't think we use our full backs effectively enough, but as you can see, you'd expect that numbers would possibly change with a more attacking team.
Who do you bring in if Dalot gets injured then?
Actually, for the sake of Dalot's progression, someone like Meunier would be a more sensible buy, as Dalot could step into the right back role in 2-3 years time.
