I think he played left back for that game though didn't he?

[glaziers fan]

I'd like him with a £25m transfer option agreed. Would play him right back until Nathan Ferguson is ready and then pop him into right midfield. Then centre mid next season under the new manager.

[Davy64]

not the best passer, he'll be at home here

Going to Westbrom.

I would classify him more as a solid rather than "exciting" player (like Gray) which is probably more in keeping with our style and an ideal rplacement for Townsend. Would i like him at the Palace? yes, but it would need to be initially a loan until seasons end with an agreement to buy in the summer and at a sensible fee of say 15m.

You don’t get a 23 year old, England international, who has plenty of contract to run for £15m.

High quality?

Never seen anything that suggests he’s anything more than average

True, Martin Kelly was only £2m and was a similar age when he signed.

Good. We can have him when they are relegated.

I agree, but he has pace. And anything better than 'poor' is an improvement on what we've got, so average will do me

Few times I saw Arsenal on the box earlier in the season he was their best player.

only leading the chase atm, nothing confirmed, unless I have missed that

[PalaceRichard]

The more I think about it the better this appears. Someone who wants to play central, young, mobile, can pass and can easily play right midfield and at a push cover right back if really needed.

Loan would be great, maybe with option to buy, which unfortunately would come at a price as several have mentioned above.

[Mr Palace]

He'd be great for us.
