How do you know that Dan Ashworth came to numerous games? The move for him was a good one. The move for us wasnt, we were so desperate to get him out the door that rather than waiting until the summer, we subsequently got a lower fee than a club would that wasnt as desperate, that allowed him to develop and showcase his ability for longer and that was willing to wait until the much more active summer window would have done. Theres no way that especially considering the desperation to sell, that the fee could possibly have been as high as it would be had we been in a stronger negotiating position. I am amazed that so many people still try to justify it.

I'm not missing the point. I was obviously against the sale and its a joke he had to go so early due to us needing the money but I think for the lads own career he would have had to move up the following summer anyway...yeah we probably would have got a couple of million more but not fees like £30 million that's been suggested and it would have been clubs like Palace evertons etc buying him a mid table club.

Gutted for Adam that he didn't get to take part in the celebrations on the pitch, but huge congratulations to him and Palace. Always good to see someone different lift a trophy, and Palace have never won anything major. They deserve it.

Delighted for Wharton and Palace winning the FA cup and they deserved it. Dean Henderson was outstanding

Wasn't it the case that Murray wanting to see the season out at Eastbourne before leaving to come here.

i hope this palace victory brings an end to the mania that possesion is everything,hopefully a new era of tactics has risen with the main focus being scoring goals despite not having much of the ball,palace played a retro game of long balls down the flanks and mateta running the channels,like football used to be

Firstly, different positions and Huijsen is highly regarded and other PL teams wanted him like Chelsea and Liverpool but Madrid is probably a dream move for him. He has shown his worth and is international player. His release clause was £50m and that fee was needed to get him. Wharton is building his PL career and a move to Palace 18 months probably was the right move for his development given he would be PL regular and show his talent where his talent is being seen. Dan Ashworth visited Ewood Park a number of times and I guess he was scouting Adam Wharton.

Yeah, confirmed concussion checks.

Wonder if he's gone to a&e due to the knock to the head?

So sad not to see him in the celebrations. So proud of him. One of a kind talent.

Wonderful for Adam and our academy. Imagine this will be the first of many trophies in his career.

I would imagine he was being assessed by the medics. He looked unsteady after the ball but him. Hopefully he is well enough to enjoy the celebrations.

As they love AI so much to generate their statements:-

We will never use a penny of it to make a difference.

😂 We should meet up for a beer next season CLB, I know some great eating places in Glasgow’s West End 😉

Was just about to post that myself, perhaps having medical attention, double shame if so.

Where is he? Not seen him in the celebrations

Congratulations to Adam. I’m sure he didn’t go up for the trophy though? Never saw him once after final whistle?

Any more money for us?

I think Wharton should stick with Palace one more season. He gets to play regularly with European football next season

Delighted for Adam. The first of many. Can never be delighted for Palace though. "Glad all over" haunts me, every time.
