40m is a fantastic offer. I like AWB a lot, but if they want 60 they can just go pound sand.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka | The Ornacle speaks: It is done.

I mean it's a young English premier league proven talent. You think we could get that for £35m in todays market? Feck no.
Yes overpay for someone who offers very little going forward. Can’t wait for the cafe to have a meltdown once everyone realises how bang average he is technically.
We should just get this done. 50 mil or so and place would be happy. We desperately need a right back and he’s the best one we’ve been linked with. I thought the fees for walker and van dijk were high, but in today’s market prices are always gonna be crazy. Get the player and on to the next signing.
Pay the 60 and be done with it. We can solve the RB for minimum 7 to 10 years.
Yep. He was always gonna cost minimum 50m as a breakout star and I don't care if we have to go 10m over that to get an important signing done. No more Young. Make it happen Woody
But 60 mil is too much.
From winger playing as RB, to RB playing as winger. Progress.
We’ll be the first modern team to get nothing out of either fullback going forward.
At that price we should probably go for Cancelo if he isn't City bound yet.
God no. Making AWB the most expensive full back ever would make us complete mugs.
Get the deal done at 45 with bonuses, all parties will be happy with that.
I remember writing in the match thread when he replaced Fosu to play us last year something along the lines of I’d happily swap Young and Valencia to take Bissaka and Van anholt as they ran us ragged that day and well Valencia and Young are/were terrible so if we pay 50mil to finally get a RB that can defend and can get forward and stretch the right side and occasionally get involved in the build up then I’m all for it. Offer them 45 and some sort of bonus incentive package and get it done. I imagine they will agree to 50 mil.
Most critical position where all of our attacking play is going to come from.
Have no idea how will turn up but i do hope we have done our homework.
Hope its not like english, young, PL proven and so buy him.

Us paying 60m for an English full back at the maximum hype level would be so typical when we have poven quality like Meunier available for half that.
£45m and about £10m in add-ons would surely do the trick.
This is happening, people.
Imagine what the best fullback in the world must go for right now. Let's say a prime Dani Alves would go for somewhere between 65-80 million pounds? No way we should pay 60 for fecking Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Predictions. We don’t cough up 60m obviously so he stays at Palace. He then joins spurs the following season for £40 million
Consistently Standout player in a poor team. In our league. Which proves he can cut it in my opinion. People tend to turn their noses up at this sort of signing - same as players like Maddison and Ndidi, despite performance statistics putting them above the ‘big’ names in the league
I would be happy yes, but if we can't sign him this summer we need to make sure we can score enough goals next season to be in top 4.
I think he'll be a Utd player before the window is done. It might take a while as he's gonna be away at the U21 Euros from next week, but I think we'll get him in the end.
At FB it definitely could be.
I 100% agree but I swear to god if that means Young will not play then just pay it. It's not mine or your money.
True, but it means less investment in other areasI 100% agree but I swear to god if that means Young will not play then just pay it. It's not mine or your money.
Just think of it as 50 million for his potential and 10 more to rid us of Ashley young!
Sorry. I don't see in any way they're similar.
Probably but maybe we could make it up on a few outs.
The money Barcelona paid Sevilla for Alves was a lot at the time.
I actually think it's a great comparison both in a defensive sense and the type of attacker both are/were. Those expecting AWB to swing crosses in like TAA are in for disappointment he's not that kind of player at all. What AWB is though is a brilliant defender especially in one v ones, he will get forward and provide width but won't get many assists or goals
No one here would questioning his attacking attribute if he's similar to Ashley Cole.
No one.
People saying “can’t spend all that money for a fullback” clearly don’t realise just how important that position is.
It’s our weakest position right now, having him and james on the right will freshen us up immeasurably

James is a left winger, isn't he?
Mainly yes, but just like when we signed Sanchez we very much hope he will play on the right for us.
If he is the only winger signing prepare for Lingard or Mata to be starting on the RW opening match.
If Wan-Bissaka is the new Ashley Cole then McTominay is the new Deco, fecking hell 
Meunier is our best available option, no doubt about it.

I hope we do it quickly now. Offer them something in between and tell them to feck off if they don't accept. Move to Meunier. If Meunier goes to Arsenal, Palace will take us to the cleaners or we will end up with Trippier.
Sorry to spaff all over this news but a reddit “ITK” said the same thing almost 3 weeks ago, from the latest article.

Have a feeling the reports are bullshit.

Mostly I don't think that's the case. Look at who we've signed in the last few years and those players were meant to come in and make imediate impact.
Hugely overrated player.
