One excellent season in the PL is a lot more than most 21 year olds have.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka | The Ornacle speaks: It is done.

I doubt Alexander and walker would be attacking beasts in a palace team in fairness.
Come on, you can't buy the best performing defensive fullback in the premier league for 30m these days.
Truly we are in the end times now
He's high profile and it's very unlikely he'd stick his neck out like that.
Right back finally sorted. It will be like playing with 11 players again!
£55m for a player who has had one solid season for Crystal Palace. Jesus.
If he says 55 then it is 45, not a world record.
Also, if he goes on to be a first teamed then the price is cheap. Shaws 30m is cheap in hindsight and he hasn't even been good

Palace wanted £50m cash so now it's a £55m deal I reckon we'll have negotiated 40-45m up front, rising to £55m with bonuses.
If so.. fair deal all round I'd say.

Felix is about to go for €120m... hahah!
Can’t believe there’s any negativity over this signing!!
New player in problem position - Check!
No more Ashley Young - Check!
Young and British* - Check!
Great potential - Check!
and for anyone moaning about the money, it’s not like it’s coming out of your back pocket.
*Not that British players are any better, it would just be nice to get back to having a core of homegrown players, like we’ve always had. Just seems very ‘Utd’.

Will be worth it twice over if he gives us 10-12 years of good service.
The lad is going to be a star here. The club is actually getting something right for a change.
Castles article bringing up Shaw is actually relevant, we paid 30m for him at a time where he'd been far less impressive than AWB has been and with transfer market inflation the fees are pretty much the same
He's decent enough but no one should be spending 50m+ on defensive full backs.
If it's him and Sancho lining up on the right for 2020-21 then feck yeah we are.
MDL or Maguire now please.
And that’s after about 12 games too.
Inflation’s a bitch, but luckily we can afford it. The Premiership is an expensive place to shopping in.
An exciting young fullback. Yes!

He plays under Roy bloody Hodgson. The most negative, defensive minded manager in the league.
He’ll get a far greater licence to get forward at United and will be coached to attack.
Funny how you and myself were disputing the haggle over an extra £5m but then Woodward blows us both out of the water by throwing another £10m at it...haha
The amount of people labelling him defensive is getting tiresome now.
How many watch him often?
How attacking can any full back be in a palace team?

I won’t argue that he was a disaster at Fulham. That wasn’t the consensus of his Palace spell that’s all. I mean, I don’t argue that AWB is ahead of him. The point is more I have seen them both when playing well and my opinion is that there isn’t anything AWB can do that TFM can’t do, when playing well. That hasn’t been the case over last season, so the question is, at 21, will he never play well again?
I’d prefer a different full back to both of them. I’d prefer Aarons tbh.
That's a good bit of business if as reported it's true. I was most concerned with the length of time it was taking. We were starting to run out of time before pre-season and we still need more.
Just had a message from palace fan mate, seems he's heard the news from somewhere.
Ummmmm when we bough Shaw had he just not been in the premier league team of the season? If anything his season was better than what Wan Bissaka has just done but continue on your agenda. Shaw was excellent that year and a proper attacking force.
Anyway, if we’ve signed Bissaka then brilliant even if the price is eye watering. RB is an area that has needed looking at long before Fergie left and it’s never really been fixed.
Dalot I guess will become the fullback utility man or occasional winger.
That's a valid point. Arguably full-back is the hardest position to show your true overall game when you're playing in the bottom half of the league.
excited about this. I think him and Dalot might actually work well together on the right side.
Castles article I'd imagine same as the rest of us
Glad if we have signed him up. 55 million is a lot but if that's what it takes, that's what it takes. We are signing a starting 11 right back which we desperately need, not a backup goalkeeper ffs.
Doesn't seem to affect van Aanholt down the other side. Palace are a much more attacking side than people are making out. Their away form in particular was fantastic last season.
And why is it that every player we buy need to be coached further or needs to settle in? So he needs to be coached an entire new facet to his game in order for him to be ready for us and he costs £55m.
As he is about to join us, he scores a last minute own goal to lose the u21s the game.
Players really do turn to shit when they come here don't they
I'm obviously messing around so don't get your knickers in a twist.

Isn't he a converted winger? I'd imagine he's good going forward, how many full-backs do look great in the final third at a Crystal Palace?
He just wants England knocked out early so he can come back and sign, obviously.As he is about to join us, he scores a last minute own goal to lose the u21s the game.

Don't care if he's crap going forward. The defence is shite, that's what he should be signed for.
If you want an attacking threat on the right.....now hear me out because this is complicated......sign a right winger.

Shaw has never been an attacking force, he was praised for his defensive abilities.
Van Aanholt doesn't seem to have a problem attacking for Palace
He's not verified but this guy is apparently a journo covering Palace.
