I suppose though any MF player who isn’t Enzo Fernandez is going to be treated as a downgrade despite the fact nobody outside of Portugal and Argentina even cared about Enzo Fernandez prior to the WC.

I did, I was watching obscure Benfica games solely for him and even downloaded River games he played in, and I was far from the only one doing the former especially.

The idea that people are kneejerking on the basis of this world cup is just utter nonsense, if they were then Sofyan Amrabat would be getting equally raved about alongside him.

I heard on commentary yesterday that Palace fans were booing Connor. Is that true, and does anyone know why? Did he celebrate the goal perhaps?

He did not celebrate the goal against. Just walked to a huddle of teammates.

Maybe my words were a bit strong.

I’d imagine there was a small percentage on here perhaps as usually there is for some of these players but I get the feeling that a lot of the hype/want of him was mainly from the World Cup performances.

But again, I don’t think its necessarily wrong to assume that, as it would be the main opportunity for a lot of people to see him. Unless your following Portuguese football or Argentine football beforehand.

I would not sell Ziyech to what now has to be seen as a rival club for the desired positions in the table.

Ziyech will bang for whoever we sell him to, absolutely guaranteed. Need to sell him abroad if we can. Sell Pulisic to any team in any league because he'll only play a few games a year anyway.

Just me kind of hoping we don't go and spend loads of money on Caicedo? Surely we can find our own man without just raiding Brighton over and over again for big money. Is he really significantly better than Zakaria? Will he even play if Kante comes back to fitness? Would be a very limited midfield if so, albeit hard to imagine us losing many games...

Obviously if we can get him for £40m then it is a no brainer but £60m+? I'm not convinced at that price.

We can't be picky, we risk of him running down his contract and losing him for peanuts, just sell Ziyech to Newcastle for 25-30M take him off the books and hopefully they need another winger (Pulisic or Sterling) and a couple midfielders (RLC, Mount)

Caicedo is very good and it will block Rice move in the summer which is a bonus. If you think the midfield is limited with him coming just wait until summer if we end up with Rice.
