20m is bloody ridiculous imo. No wonder people fume at Levy. And rightly so.
He's a 10-12m player. 15m tops.
Matt Targett went for £17m

Trippier was slated on here left, right and center with people desperate for him to be replaced by none other than KWP, yet we got 25m for him.20m is bloody ridiculous imo. No wonder people fume at Levy. And rightly so.

Initial fee shouldn't matter too much with KWP. What should be important is tacking on appearance fees and sell on clauses so if it does turn out we've dropped a bollock then we can at least cash in a bit.
Targett played best part of 90 games before Villa.Matt Targett went for £17m
20 chuffing million for KWP? Uh, waaaaaa?
Let's put the shoe on the other foot.
Would Levy be open to spending 20M on a RB, from let's say, Liverpool, who has only ever started 3 or 4 premier league games in three years? I don't think so. That evaluation is arguably delusional.

You want to buy that Mini Metro I mentionedNice to see Herc' say we are being very flexible with payment terms to help KWP with his choice of club.
To be fair KWP has not really had a proper chance to show his true level. But I would guess that he could play in any mid table side and do a good job. I would say £20 million does seem fair..Targett played best part of 90 games before Villa.
KWP has played 24 in his whole career.
Not comparing them as players but surely KWP is worth less than that (less inflation). Not like he has ripped up trees.
Crystal palace are now an established Premier league team who are looking for a RB they deem good enough to play in the Premier league. If they believe KWP is good enough to play in the Premier league they'll have to pay Premier league prices, or else they can look in the championship for cheaper options.I'd take 15m in a heartbeat. Regardless of comparisons to players like Wimmer etc if a player simply doesn't have the physicality to make it at the top level you can't expect top dollar.
I'd honestly be surprised if he's still in the top division in 2 or 3 years. IMO he needs to move abroad and find a league where his technique can shine and he won't get bullied.
Solanke was sold for 19m and he did fuck all to justify that fee at Chelsea/Liverpool.

He got ripped off for Modric.So the criticism is now player pricing? Well it’s not exactly groceries is it? Considering the amounts he got for the likes of Bale and Modric I don’t begrudge him the freedom to get the best possible price for players
