And have a decent recent record with developing young players.

I’m sure the papers will spin it to mock us.

What record? Trent.... I’m waiting
Sancho, Rashford, Elanga, Amad, Pellestri, Garnacho all for attacking positions. looking to add Antony also.
I just don't think an attacker would look at our squad and think yeah i'll be getting first team football there soon.
Good move for him, in my opinion. If he has the potential we think he has, he will have the chance to improve and register a lot of game time next year at Palace. I am sure we will keep tabs on him moving forward.
They aren't stacked at full backs. And they have a top coach.
Crystal Palace trying to implement the Dortmund model in England.
But we keep getting told that the transfer window has only just opened? 
Liverpool had Neco Williams and not a lot else backing up Trent and have managed his development well enough that they are selling him for around 15M this window and so they are replacing him with a cheaper back up who may well follow the same route. Not exactly the same scenario as adding another wide attacker to our squad who would be probably only a rotational option for our U23s at this stage.
Oh yeah it will be made to sound like an absolute catastrophe of epic proportions
They don't need to spin anything. Look at the state of some of the posters in this thread.
Who cares.
It was said early on that Palace were favourites. We already have Amad and Pellistri in that position.Losing out to Palace now
Chelsea have a small army of players on loan season after season who never see first team action. They don’t seem to have any issues convincing players to sign anyways.
Not sure why anyone is saying it makes sense for him. His path to the first team at Palace is probably harder than it is here
He looked bang average to me so happy we're not adding another wildcard at RW. We need someone more established.
And we've done a fine job in progressing those two's potential.
It’s hardly because we’re stacked. We’re actually crying out for someone with his profile albeit one with a bit more experience.
The problem for us is that we now have an unfortunate reputation of being where talented players careers go to die with victims including Rashford, Martial, Dan James, Amad , Memphis, VdB who have massively regressed or stagnated under our coaching.
Combination of both really. We have young players who haven't progressed well apart from Greenwood.
We've got young attackers who can't even get into the side, and more waiting to come into it.
Palace have done really well recently blending youth under Vieira. I can't say I blame him.
Amad and pellistri both on loan and strong rumours we’re looking for a starting right winger anyway. Why would a young player looking for gametime come here?
This is more my issue with him, it's of his own making as well. He has turned transfer news into this necessity to have an update on every transfer at beck and call of his followers.
I guess I don't blame him, it's made him a lot of money, but it's a bit tiresome.
Seems bizarre to choose Palace when they have a great young RW in Olise. Teams like Leicester and Everton have nothing there, though that might change this summer anyways. Maybe a slight signal that Zaha is leaving on a free next summer and one will play LW?
That's my point. I was arguing that its not because we're stacked with talent that someone like him would choose not to join us but because we're just a really bad place to come if you want to improve your game. Hopefully EtH can change that going forward.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out why Ebiowei might consider Palace the sensible move at this stage in his career. Unfortunately, this hasn't stopped some from declaring that "the club is in the mud", as we catastrophically miss out on signing a player I guarantee the majority of people here (including myself) have never even seen play.
Whilst I agree with your point re him being a non-entity to a lot of posters, the truth is not too long ago (albeit longer than we’d like) players would have crawled through broken glass to sign for United, whereas now we’re losing out to other clubs for the majority of our rumoured targets.
Eriksen staying at Brentford would just be another example. Getting beaten by Palace and Brentford for targets we were seriously interested in just tells you everything you need to know. And it is not about the money.
Chelsea actually find good loans for their players and will sell if a good offer comes along. If it was a choice between being loaned out by us or Chelsea nowadays I’d also pick them. They are far more aggressive with their youth development and using it as viable revenue stream
why would it be easy?
Olise and Zaha are arguably better than our wide options last season
Sensible move for him, we've alot of competition out wide if you include our current batch of promising youngsters.
Ayye, and whatever they're doing is working wonders considering where they were at only last year. Quite impressive really.

What's that got to do with this transfer though? Other than your need to post nonsense.But we keep getting told that the transfer window has only just opened?
People are just wetting themselves over some kid they had no idea existed until last week. It's just that fear of missing out caused by the likes of Bale, Bellingham etc etc.
My bet is he goes there and ends up back in the Championship or League 1 in a year or two and we never hear of him again until Utd get drawn against QPR or Mk Dons in one of the cups.
So we were never in, Monaco and Spurs were.
Shhhh don’t say too loud, the narrative is that he rejected us for palace
