Romaine Esse

Just because we struck gold with Olise , Eze and Wharton doesn’t mean this will happen every time we delve into the Championship.

Would those hyping up Esse be doing this with so much vigour if he wasn’t a Palace player ( e.g if he had joined Burnley instead).

Of course young players can have varying trajectories in their developments, but there’s nothing in his career to date to suggest that he should be anywhere near our first team.
I don’t think he’s completed a match for Coventry yet, either being used from the bench or substituted when he starts.
Looking at the the report from the BBC from last weekend he was scored than less then 4 out of 10 for his contribution.
Like others, I hope he succeeds at Palace but I don’t see him as budding superstar just because he plays for Palace.

I recall having some conversations about Semenyo some while back.
Some of the messaging was that he needed to add goals to his game, that Bristol City had been working with him to take fewer touches, decision-making was his 'Achilles Heal' and that he was unpredictable producing moments of brilliance then disappoint.
He is much improved from those days !

So he got better?

I believe there's some handshaken agreement that Wharton will be sold in the summer.

He is likely to attract a high fee, so let's hope he has a good rest of the season.

Palace's midfield will largely look new by the time next season's games start.

I've not heard of that agreement - interesting.

I actually think he could benefit from another season with Palace.

Unless of course the plan is for our recent spending spree to be financed by selling him....

Sadly money turns heads particularly in the case of young people.

Surely you must know enough about football to understand Wharton is a light year ahead of Esse in his development?

He is light years ahead of many players. It pains me to say he’s too good for us.

I'll turn my head if you give me enough.

The emphasis was on young you are disqualified. 😆 😆 😆

At work yesterday a colleague was watching a Liverpool channel which claimed Wharton has already agreed a five year deal to sign in the summer.

Maybe it’s the same deal Guehi agreed which had a ‘don’t discuss with Man City’ clause in it.
