Adam Wharton

Pardon the bump.

Wharton was an unused sub tonight as they best Wrexham 4-1 at home in the Cup.

Seems like they're cashing in before the deadline.

A loan back would suit us nicely with Hojbjerg staying until the summer.

Would it suit Palace? Probably less so.

He plays the full 90 mins on Saturday. I think there’s a more then decent chance he was just being rested. I wouldn’t necessarily read too much into it. Personally I don’t see us moving for him this window even with a loan back. Considering our interest in Gallagher I think we will wait until summer and reassess the midfield position then.

You could be right on both counts, though even still I do expect them to sell in Jan.

Apparently HMRC threatened them with a winding up order last month, and the Venkys had to apply to the Indian courts for permission to pay it as Modi has embargoed any foreign investment.

The owners have managed to pay but the club still have huge debts and very little working capital.

Shame for them as they've produced two outstanding young players from the local community in Phillips and Wharton.

Probably kills their interest in Skipp as well

Damn.

Good signing for them.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Cracking signing for Palace.

 

[ajspurs]

I don't know why, but I'm kind of happy to see Palace make that signing. Their lack of ambition and direction somehow annoys me even. Wharton, Olise and Eze is a really good trio to build on.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Very good move for them. Probably knew that if they waited until summer he would go to a bigger club. Transfer window finally seems to be ramping up. TBH I would be more excited by him then Gallagher.

Got a feeling we're about to see an absolute flurry of signings these next couple of days. Clubs just can't help themselves

 

[Coolpudge]

David Ornstein on the Athletic has said that Crystal Palace have agreed a deal with Blackburn for around £22 million plus add ons.

 

[EssexSH27]

Good move for Palace and the kid.

 

[Japhet]

Think we'll regret missing out on Wharton at some point, just like we do now with Eze and Olise.

Maybe, but as with Olise/Eze he is guaranteed a lot more game time at Palace than he would with us, which ultimately speeds up his development.

Disappointed with this…. Thought we would have got him.

Think Ange really wants Gallagher and is probably prepared to wait until ether he becomes available at a reasonable price or signs a new contract.

Just announced done to Palace £18m could rise to £22m
