Loan back based on end of season fitness?- No loan deal in football history has had a clause insuring the player is fit at the end of the season. We cannot predict the future. I don't see what Palace would gain from loaning him back to us. He's 22 years old, and can make an immediate impact (when fit). Totally. Palace have had 19 year old Luke Plange on the bench this season, Antoine would definitely be in front of him. Plus I don’t think Pearson would want a player that we’ve already sold in his squad, very hard to know how it would work re his motivation & avoiding injury, just can’t see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson's recent comments surrounding transfers seem to hint that he is perhaps bracing himself for one asset to depart before the end of the window. Last night (post Luton), he stated that there is no more money available for incomings, and that it relies on a sale in order to bring in new additions. The likelihood is, that it will be Semenyo, as rumours are gathering pace. I completely agree with you, he can make an impact at Palace. He would likely be 2nd or 3rd choice straight away, and would get opportunities to claim a starting position. We still look a threat in attack with Semenyo out injured, and Conway is displaying similar strengths from both wide and central areas of the pitch. 3 goals and 2 assists (?) so far. Brandon Thomas-Asante (Salford) could be a long-term Semenyo replacement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Views on him going to Palace seem mixed on their forum. A few seem to think it would be a good option for them but many underwhelmed by the prospect. Let’s hope he stays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, that's what I'd expect on these boards for a young player doing well in League One. It'd be roughly 50/50 between those who welcomed an exciting new talent and those who were expecting a bigger name and it'd be roughly 10/90 between those who had seen them play and those who were making up an opinion based off media reports and Youtube clips. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 How can i possibly know? Ha! But surely AS would be better off staying with us for the rest of the season, displaying his undoubted talent, and then having the choice of a number of clubs rather than just Palace? He seems a really switched on young man, with plenty of intelligence, so i could certainly see him carefully weighing up his long term options, rather than going to the first club to make an offer? But then, as i said..........what do I, or anyone else outside his family, possibly know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a fair point @Davefevs but then again he might back himself to actually get some game time at Palace and make an impact - it’s a tricky one for the lad, if , of course, Palace, or anyone else is actually interested. In situations like this money talks and as we all know IF there is interest his wages would increase by an incredible amount. You also have to look at it from the clubs prospective - we could do with the money and if his valuation is met then I would expect a certain encouragement from us for him to go.

Malago Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Can TC get at least 10 goals this season, more than Antione did last ?

You, too make a fair point...........all i would add is, it would be gamble for his WC chances, which i believe he is very serious about, to get to Palace and establish himself in the first team in a very short time frame? It's just a thought, and i could be way off target? Edited August 18, 2022 by maxjak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs a 15-20 goal season I get the impression he is a little injury prone which is why he is in a hurry to move at the first attempt rather than have a real break out season and attract bigger clubs and more money for himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 I don’t think Ghana is on his mind at all. What is he on 4-6k a week? Palace would be offering 30-40k a week I am sure. The difference annually is 200-300k to 1.5-2m. That would be first on anyone’s mind. He’ll be 26 next world cup if does not work out for him this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in the squad of an EPL team every week with maybe some game time probably trumps being first choice in a middling Championship side. Like all of these things none of us know what is really going on or indeed may not be going on. We will just have to wait and see BUT if the lad is going to go then the sooner the better for us - what we don’t need is this dragging on until the very end of the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
