I see that Joe Allen has rejected Stoke's offer of a new contract. I wonder if this means he's still hoping to come to us? Great if he does.
Downes is worth less than £500k. If it's true we've sold him for £10m+, then we've fooled Crystal Palace and sold them a mediocre player for a lot of money.Downes is worth around 10 or so.
Agreed. Also, it's crucial we keep both Piroe and Obafemi. And Martin has to do something with Ntcham. We don't need a player who is exhausted after 20 minutes on the pitch.Then let's ship him off, take Palace for whatever they are going to hand over, and use it to get Joe.

Sell. He cost the club £1.5m last summer. With his wages and agent fees that's approx. £2.3m. Where on earth can you get 100 % ROI (return on investment) in just one year? He can easily be replaced by Ntcham, Fulton, Dan Williams etc.It seems like Downes is worth around £5-6 million to Palace.
He should be staying with us. Don't understand Martin's negativity about some players.Benda wanted as backup by Brighton and Wolves .
