Apart from that we've been absolute beasts on the transfer market so far !
How do you know he is training in his own….by seeing one photo of him which proves nothing. Even if he is injured he might be doing rehab work on his own. To say he is training on his own because of that photo doing the rounds is nonsense.
He's the Savio fallback option .......
I'm still not sold on him personally. Too hit and miss for me.
He's one player I'd have been happy to see moved on if it opened the door for an upgrade.
Not sure what brought you to that conclusion
Ha.Trix on SC regarding MGW…not at all surprised….
“Not sure where to put this because the MGW thread is locked so the AdminRob @Archibald&Crooks may want to move this to somewhere more appropriate as it's not current transfer ITK.......
I just wanted to clarify what happened with MGW as there are a lot of incorrect rumours etc still doing the rounds and a few weeks have passed and I think it's now safe to do so.
MGW leaked his release clause, not his agent, not Spurs and not Forrest(just for old times sake). Forest knew he was looking to move and concocted a plan to do a PSR bump with Man City and McAtee where City paid well over the odds for MGW and McAtee went the other way for a lot more than the eventually bought him for. As soon as it hit the news City dropped any interest they had which wasn't much but if they could get him cheap then it could have been an easy flip for profit if it didn't work out. So now how could City pay £80mil for him when the whole world knew the release clause was £60mil?
From what I was told and shared in the lead up it to it all hitting the fan, was that MGW leaked the release clause to the media so that couldn't happen. Marinakis and Forest found out about it and threatened to tie him up in court for years like what happened with Bosman and he would have been left not playing in a world cup year in the peak of his career. This left him little choice but to sign a new deal on much better terms to make it look like a win for Forest and more importantly Mr Marinakis. It all happened incredibly fast because he was left with little option after he had completely fucked himself over. Spurs knew nothing of all of this and were as shocked as anyone when the story broke that he had signed a new deal.”
Yes, of course the only way MGW could get out of a move to Man City was to leak his release clause to the press (who didn't report on it until after the Spurs bid btw) in order for Spurs to step in like a white knight and save him, rather than simply reject a move there...
Our ability to sell players is fucking awful, granted. But in this case, isn’t he injured? Not sure that should stop anything if it’s a standard injury, mind you.

He’d have actually been a great option for Brentford if we hadn’t taken Frank
Sounds like the ravings of that mad lassie Aluko, talking about Rice, Pep and Arteta.Trix on SC regarding MGW…not at all surprised….

I think cause he can play Left or Right hugely improves his value to us , I actually think i prefer him on the left than the right.
Imagine haggling over a few mils when youre desperate.
And I ain't talking bout Palace.
If MGW wanted a move so desperately then why did he sign a new contract ? Surely he stays and runs his contract down .

It's taken him almost a month to come up with this.
And people over there probably chucking tens and twenties at SC for it.
This guy didn’t know anything before it hit the media, when it was going on but now he’s got all the intricate details on not only us but what went on between Man City and Forest. What a cuntTrix on SC regarding MGW…not at all surprised….

I think the “new” 3 year deal signed by MGW speaks volumes as to how he feels and what he wants
The lack of rumours about any outgoings is very odd. Thought we’d have moved him on weeks ago.
I reckon we're gonna fail to "Get it over the line" and Eze will be staying at Crystal Palace.
Don't really buy the "Palace need a replacement" story
They must've known for ages he's likely to go
