Yeah I saw that. What's that about? Playing a friendly overseas before the end of the season, daft. Only thing I can imagine is that it was scheduled a while ago for the end of the premier league season, over looking the fact they might have finals to be in.

Not NUFC ( but EX NUFC .. ) rumour today of Patrick Van Aaholt to Man Utd - Is he that good ? Or have United become that bad ?
What a player! What a signing! What a day for Newcastle United! .. actual BBC commentary from Moussa Sissoko's first game for Newcastle United

Hah I saw that. Double swoop for him and Wan-Bissaka for some absurd figure. I think it's more the latter. He's surely no better than midtable, Van Aanholt.

Speaking of Loftus-Cheek, he played for Chelsea in a friendly and ruptured his achilles and will now miss the Europa Final, how stupid can Chelsea get <laugh>
Absolute madness playing that game, just another case of pure greed and the club chasing money.

Yeah I think it's more a reflection of how far Man U have fallen. PVA is decent enough at mid-table level, certainly wouldn't put him in the 'elite' category and not the type of signing you make if you're trying to rebuild a serious title challenging team. Suppose he'll be fine for their EUROPA league campaign <laugh>

Zaha also wants to leave Palace, wonder where he'll end up. Undoubtedly talented but I do think he's over-hyped.

Dortmund to replace Sancho if he ends up leaving? Spurs have long been suitors for him as well. Palace supposedly ready to demand 80m, he's nowhere near that good.

I don't think Dortmund would pay £80m, an English team probably would tho...

19 goals and 15 assists over the past 2 seasons is pretty good in a side as drab as Palace, and as much as that is crazy money for anyone, he's been the difference for them between staying up and relegation, and that's worth a lot to them.

This is true, what he's actually worth and what he's worth to Palace are two different things.

Definitely. Especially for a club like them (or us for that matter), who can rarely afford (or be able to attract) sure things. So they know what they get from Zaha, and they could spend 10s of millions in today's market and not be sure they'll get the same production back.

This made me laugh. What an 'exclusive' - an unknown French player linked with Newcastle over the past 3 windows and a 30 year old winger who has never really shown that he recovered from his ACL injury that took him over a year to recover from...

I don't think Zaha should be considering larger teams than mid-table - he couldn't put the yards in or fit a system at Manchester where he wasn't the focal point. Palace are hoping for a big bid because they're essentially haemorrhaging money - they've at least 3 players exceeding the NUFC salary cap and really don't have the revenue stream for that.

I always thought he wasn't ever worth the cash, people were really talking him up a season or so ago where he had something like 3 goals and 5 assists over halfway through the season for Palace...the stats above suggest he contributes to an additional 4/5 wins a season. Invaluable to Palace, but doubt he could add that to a Chelsea or an Everton. He is an HGP though, so that's why he's rated around £80m and not £50m

Palace do have a very high wage bill. Zaha will be on big money, as will Townsend, Benteke and Sakho. I'm sure that Max Meyer is on over £200k per week too (complete waste of money).

If he does move in future he’ll probably want to go to a top club.

I wonder what their recruitment is going to be like this summer. They're in shambles with so many huge earners on the outs, a manager they just hired who's already lost momentum, no CL football. Which isn't to say they don't still have pull, but they're just so disorganized right now, I can't imagine a lot of in-demand top players are going to want the uncertainty and drama.

Given top players still consider going to China then Man Utd can compete for them.

Young, English, had 1/3 of a great season, did we mention he’s English? Equates to about £50m in today’s market..!

They're now linked with Sessegnon which feels more sensible.

Different positions, and Man U need strengthening in both, so not unfeasible they wouldn't go for both. I don't see us entertaining any idea of selling Longstaff this summer, would take a kind of fee that he's nowhere near worth yet. As for Sessegon, he will undoubtedly get a move, but I wouldn't necesarilly think to Man U. They are a big club but their stock is as low as it has been for a while, and he will have other offers. Spurs predominantly, under a highly rated coach who is well known for developing and improving young English players. Plus champions league. Man U have neither, and pretty much stalled the career of the last English left back they signed. Although Shaw's stutterings not necessarilly OGS fault.

IF Manchester United are prepared to offer £50m+ for Longstaff, I'd take it.

I know, we'd be down to one CM in the entire squad, but I doubt we'd regret it long term. Anyone who signs for them will end up being a mid-table player and that's the best he can hope for at an NUFC under Fatshley.

Sessegnon seems a shoo-in for Spuds. They've an aging back line and are heavily reliant on attacking full backs for their style of play, unless they're thinking he'll come in as the Eriksen replacement. Again, a HGP thus an inflated fee
