Wonder if we will try and "do a Bayern" to CP but also offer a loan back til end of season. We could get by on PEH, Skipp, Sarr and GLC covering Biss, Bentancur and Madds. even if PEH goes I don't think we'd be too light there, it's really next season with probable European competition to contend with when a player like Wharton would see serious minutes. For the rest of this season would be best for the player to stay with Blackburn where he is already settled and playing well and bring him in for a full pre-season with the first team, seems Palace want him for the now though.Supposedly CPFC want a midfielder to replace injured Doucoure.
CB Richards has replaced him and results not good.
I really dislike seeing talented youngsters go to Palace.Could end up Eze all over again but if he can start there I can see why he’d start there
Her-clueless, att least you live up to your username.
Alan Nixon, who is a good source for Blackburn and broke a lot of the Phillips news, said Blackburn were initially hoping for £25m but £15m from Palace is the best bid they've had.
I really dislike seeing talented youngsters go to Palace.
If for nothing else because you can more or less guarantee they’ll charge an insane price for them the following season, to the point where only a handful of clubs that can afford them.
With all the references to Anus flying around we're now being linked to someone who's name is an anagram of Loris Bum.....![]()
Tottenham now interested in signing ‘extremely talented’ German midfielder who Bayern Munich want

Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Hertha Berlin teenager Boris Lum, with Bayern Munich also tracking the midfielder.
The 16-year-old has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in Germany, with Lum training on numerous occasions with the Hertha first-team and catching the eye of scouts and coaches.
Lauded by Tagesspiegel as an ‘extremely talented’ midfielder, Lum is close to making his professional debut with Hertha, yet Tottenham might now beat the German side to the punch.
According to Bild, the north London side are interested in Lum, though Tottenham already face some stern competition for the teenager’s signature, with Bayern, Ajax and Bayer Leverkusen all in the mix.
With RB Salzburg also interested in signing Lum, the battle to recruit the 16-year-old could be an epic one in the coming months, especially if Tottenham continue to push for the teenager.
Yet with so many top European clubs with proven development track records interested in Lum, this could be one war that Tottenham might have to concede defeat in already.
Whilst the Premier League is an appealing destination for any player, Tottenham should realise by now that signing Lum will be no easy task.
With Bayern, Ajax and Salzburg interested in the midfielder, the Hertha wonderkid already has three outstanding options that could help unlock Lum’s potential to the absolute fullest.
Moreover, with Tottenham in a transitional phase, Lum might realise that it could be years before he makes his professional debut for the north London side.
As a result, the teenager might be better off either staying with Hertha or making a move to an Ajax or Salzburg, where his development could accelerate at an incredible rate.

Ok, we compromise. We buy him and loan him to Palace. Happy?Maybe Wharton wants to actually play football at Palace rather than get loaned out or play 5 matches a season here?
