Isn’t that what the Palace guy does and he didn’t get a look in. Never seen him play but I’m sure I saw a comment to that effect. Wharton? Neither of the two of them get in ahead of Rice and Mainoo I don’t think. And then there is Bellingham / Foden - since our issue was trying to play both and it was unbalanced. And of course Kane offering nothing I guess Mainoo’s spot is up for discussion but I don’t see it really. Maybe different people for different games

If he flops this season his resale value will be bugger all. If we can get £10m for him this window then I'd cut our losses and sell.
