If true it won't help him to get back north but I'm sure he could get over that with a decent contract being dangled. Hopefully we can get a good price and the funds or at least some of them are reinvested in the squad. Depends who our owners are though :-0

Depends how badly Palarse want him. And if TJ is still at the helm can you honestly see him giving a player away for next to nowt? I reckon he'd rather stick two fingers up than cut off his nose to spite his face.
We should be looking to sell him in Jan. Its unlikely he will sign a new contract if he's wanted to leave for ages as has been reported although that's because he wants to go back up north so he might not fancy Palace.
It would cost us a lot more to be relegated. Many are saying he is our player of the season so far (on another thread) - can we afford to lose him now?

How fickle are football fans? The majority on here wanted him gone this time last year even had people queuing up to drive him north free of charge! And don't get me started on Wilson.

I don't think its fickle, Red. He has shown vast improvement and added a bit of hunger and tenacity to his game this season which has made him more popular. He would probably admit himself that he wasn't up to much last season.

Fair comment he had personal issues but I always felt there was a player in there and glad he has proved me right.

Stephens has proved many wrong. Wilson hasn't yet. He banged in a couple of goals yes but he's not 'done a Stephens' yet

But Wilson has been filling the boots of 2 times player of the year-talk about following in the footsteps of a giant (even if he is only 5'3). And did the Brighton performance suggest that Wilson is actually more of a natural right sided AM anyway????? He could be a real success in front of Solly, if that is his preferred position.
As for Dale, for me the 3-5-2 earlier in the season was the first time he got a chance to properly express himself as a ball player. Last season was largely kick and rush, so he was never gonna shine. He has pushed on this season in a 4-4-2 thanks to improved confidence, more bite in the tackle and Cousins next to him. The lad is a class act and its a shame the pitch will limit how much we see of his skills in the next few months. I see Clayton at Udders as similar type.
Am I one of the few who don't rate Stephens all that highly? I mean he's a good midfielder, but if tehre's money on the table I think we should snatch it and either get in someone with a bit more skill or blood a youngster
True, depends if you think 6 months of Stephens (assumine we can't keep him) is more valuable than say the 500k we might get for him. I'd prefer the money and a chance to get game-time for a youngster, or alternatively a loan player from Liege. The new guy could potentially replace him.

If so we will be lucky to get a tenner for him.
Not worried
thing I pullis don't do tekkas
I gave him "the look" but he didn't wanna know.

Dale is a proper footballer, doubt he would enjoy being told to pump it into the corners or to just fight for second balls.
Now is not the time to be making money just for the sake of it. Its not of much use when you don't have players.
