I suffer delusions of grandeur
And have a decent recent record with developing young players.Liverpool just signed an 18 year old RB.

What record? Trent.... I’m waitingAnd have a decent recent record with developing young players.
Sancho, Rashford, Elanga, Amad, Pellestri, Garnacho all for attacking positions. looking to add Antony also.In what ways are we a stacked team? We've just lost a ton of experience and haven't replaced any of it yet
They aren't stacked at full backs. And they have a top coach.Liverpool just signed an 18 year old RB.
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.Liverpool just signed an 18 year old RB.
Oh yeah it will be made to sound like an absolute catastrophe of epic proportionsG A Z U M P E D
I’m sure the papers will spin it to mock us.
They don't need to spin anything. Look at the state of some of the posters in this thread.G A Z U M P E D

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.Sees what happened to Amad, Pellestri and Dan James and thinks...I fancy taking a smaller step?
It's sensible.
He has a far better chance of consistent minutes at Palace. It's a good decision on his part.
If he takes the next step his time will come. If I was him I'd be making a similar decision.
And we've done a fine job in progressing those two's potential.It was said early on that Palace were favourites. We already have Amad and Pellistri in that position.
It’s hardly because we’re stacked. We’re actually crying out for someone with his profile albeit one with a bit more experience.Up and coming players just don't want to go to stacked teams anymore, and I can't really blame them.
He will get way more chances at Palace than he would here. We will probably buy him for 70m in 2 years anyway.
Combination of both really. We have young players who haven't progressed well apart from Greenwood.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.
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?It’s hardly because we’re stacked. We’re actually crying out for someone with his profile albeit one with a bit more experience.

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.Sometimes (probably very often), updates are just that. Unconfirmed, and subject to change. Not every update has to get pulses racing and be a huge scoop.
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.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?
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.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.
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.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.
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 streamChelsea 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.
why would it be easy?Definitely not in our starting 11 place which he will easily get at palace.
Ayye, and whatever they're doing is working wonders considering where they were at only last year. Quite impressive really.Crystal Palace trying to implement the Dortmund model in England.
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.It doesn't take a genius to figure out why Ebiowei might consider Palace the sensible move at this stage in his career.

Shhhh don’t say too loud, the narrative is that he rejected us for palaceSo we were never in, Monaco and Spurs were.
