I spoke too soon

But for all those asking why we didn’t go for him - much higher wages and a higher fee. Simples

everything from the reporting was that he wanted massive wages

now we can obviously gripe about how palace can pay more than us - but they can and have been able to for ages. Look at Zaha and Cahill
 
Double the wages, double the goals.
Time will tell on that front. He’s played fewer games so it could end up being and even better rate

8 minutes vs 270 !

But it is kind of irrelevant because if the wages are truly double then it suggests he wanted what Ings was on (potentially more) with no record to prove it. It is a daft conversation as we were never going to go for it

We might as well moan about not spending 32m on Tammy Abraham since if we had put up the cash he might well have joined

Yeah was tongue in cheek. I’d probably have chosen Armstrong anyway if I’m being honest.

Out of interest - why? I would have purely based on the opinion that his goal record in a struggling championship teams seem a lot better than playing for a Scottish superpower where most of your games are against sides that would probably struggle in league 1
 
Imagine how the media would have react to messi joining. This is akin to that as they have equal standing in the game

you just have a great return narrative rather than a “ooh he has never played before”

but one of the highest profile superstars in the game is (back) in the league
