Most players are one footed
There's one footed and then there's "I am going to contort myself to hit this with my good foot even though it's a simple ball for my other foot" one-footed.
A lot of naturally left footed players are like that for whatever reason. In the middle of the park where time and space are everything that can be tricky.
His brother pimped him out hard
Injuries are a massive reason on whether teams have successful seasons. Leicester kept most of the same team each week when they won. Liverpool had most of their best players available when needed last season. I doubt they win the League if Salah was injured for a large chunk. In contrast we've been decimated with injuries for large parts of the past two seasons. But apparently that was Ange's fault, so we should have a good run this season.
I think he is a young unproven player tbf. Same, if not more risk than signing a 30-year old. He has one full EPL season with 5 assists to his name and no strong defensive metrics (considering he is being thought of as a 6).
Now, I completely agree that he had loads of potential and could end up a world beater as well as incredible deep lying midfielder. But then again, loads of young players don't fulfill their potential.
Exactly this.
He's good and he has a lot of potential, but I think it's absolutely mental the sums being thrown around on here as being his "value." He's done absolutely nothing to merit him being valued as an elite player, which is what anything at the mooted £80M or more would make him.
There's some utter lunacy on here.

Whatever the level of dosage prescription you are on, reduce it by two thirds.
No cunt is stupid enough to offer over 60mil for the player.
He's a very good player, but 100m..............
Cant blame levy after the ndombele fiasco, he was happy to just pocket his fat pay cheque and bide his time putting in nothing performances
A 6 isn’t expected to get many assists. He controls the tempo and gets it to Eze who gets the assists.
He’s not defensively very good for a 6 but he is very press resistant, excellent on the half turn and great for a team who want to retain possession … he’d be MUCH better for Bayern than Palhinha was because Palhinha’s archetype doesn’t suit elite possession based teams.
Palhinha might be more useful for us, depending on how we play.
But Wharton has an insane ceiling if he can develop some steel because the technical fundamentals are incredible and the stuff you can’t really ‘learn’ are all there. He is an elite talent.
Agree
Looks a lovely passer but not convinced he can defend and close gaps - seen players run through him and he looks lost. I’m desperate for a footballing 6 but wouldn’t pay 75M for him.
Wahoo. Maybe I should go to SC and ask for some donations. Haha.
Oooo. An I called Son to MLS a while back.

The high price is because Palace don’t want, or don’t need to sell
Tottenham & Bayern , sitting in a tree ….
Agree mostly but I think Palhinha does the job for now. However for next season they need to be lining up one of those you mentioned and also develop the young midfielders we already have otherwise what’s the point of buying them. Not to forget any of our own academy players. Jeez can we give at least one or two them a chance to see if they are good enough. We could be sitting on a gold mine but will never know at this rate.
Shocking really considering we are meant to have one of the smartest chairman around. He should be sacked the above alone. Wait for this years activity or next couple of years when you can add Richi 60M , Johnson 47M, Solanke 60M, Tel 45M and see what the P/L is on them
I’d sell Johnson to whoever will pay decent money for him. He just no great footballing skills and is weak. If frank wants hard workers, some say MADDs me be at risk, then surely Johnson should be worried.
