Did anyone else stop watching the game and just have their eyes fixed on Wharton?

I am of the opinion that selling Adam has helped to stave off administration in the short term. I also heard he didn't want to leave and was happy with the progress he was making under Tomasson. If it

Even more perplexing is that tonight's game is a league cup match.  Hardly a high priority surely?

I can just about understand the balancing act of playing him in league games to protect their Premier League status, even half fit, he is their best midfielder, but playing him in a meaningless cup game was madness

The league cup is not meaningless. Unless you're a super rich 'elite club' of course.

Both these teams should be going full noise to win this game and get through to the next round.

I see villa gave away a goal by 'playing the right way'.

Maybe I should have wrote "meaningless in comparison to the £100M+ on offer for remaining in the Premier League for another season"

They started an injured player for the 2nd time in a few days, and look to have worsened his injury.  It was a terrible decision

Fair do's.

The truly meaningless games are the shit early round European games and the international friendlies or whatever they're calling them now.

Make the Euro competitions two leg straight knock outs from the beginning and you'll get rid of the fixture congestion.

so no point in competing for a trophy and giving the fans a trip to wembley then?????

My argument is that it was a ridiculous decision to play an already injured player in that league cup game. 

That doesn't mean that they had to throw in the towel for tonight's game.  I didn't say that they had to play their U14 reserves, and start the game by smashing the ball into their own goal

So you know the extent of Whartons injury pre game. Or are you making assumptions from hearsay ?

Quotes from the Palace manager state he has been playing on painkillers all season

Expand  

I have known loads of players taking painkillers, both oral and injected. Some are so bad they cannot train, but still play on match days.

I am not saying it is good. I am saying it happens, and on a regular occasion. Usually on the insistance of the player.

Maybe scrap the league Cup altogether.  Another attack on international football

Clearly neither you nor I have any real idea how serious his injury is, but clearly it can't be that bad at the moment if he can play 88 minutes of a PL game. I suspect that no one is yet sure whether what he has are natural growing pains or something more serious.

This post did not age well.

Apparently Adam was at Ewood today. We could have done with him, even if he could only stand in the middle and pass the ball around.

Expand  

I was at the game and someone came into blues bar before the game who looked very much like him. I wonder if it was him.

He was. I saw Scott and fiancé walking into the players entrance just ahead of kick off, with Adam just behind.

There’s a story on the BBC site that Arsenal are in talks with Palace with a view to buying Adam for £ 54 million.. Have we got a sell on ?

Expand  

I believe so. 

I've heard anywhere between 15 & 20% of any profit, which would mean £5M or £6M reasons for Venkys not to send any more money over in January

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2024/11/27/adam-wharton-transfer-arsenal/

Man City & Liverpool also interested according story cited by the BBC.  Surely Palace wouldn't sell until the end of the season?  Get him fit and playing at his best again and then they would be looking at a much higher fee with those teams interested and a bidding war?
