I love Wharton, and the eye test is more important, but I'm not sure why they're presenting those stats as if they're something amazing. Statistically, the defensive work aside perhaps, they represent a pretty standard performance for most midfielders.

His passing accuracy needs to improve

Nah it's a little low at times because he plays forward, progressive passes that can carve chances, not constant safety first sideways passes like most midfielders.

Grabbed another assist and MOTM display yesterday against Fulham. Nice to see high praise for our academy too in some quarters:

I agree with him regarding Anderson. A hard working player but he hasn’t got the passing ability that Wharton has. Another instant pass yesterday that created the Palace first goal. You could see how he spotted what was on the cards a couple of seconds before everybody else.

I could watch him play all day.

And not just because he's a local lad who played for my team.

He is as good as there is in that position. When you make the game look as easy as he does you know he's special

He was described as being “ in imperious form “ in my paper today.

Palace to sell Wharton at end of season

Yesterday

Exclusive

By Alan Nixon

Crystal Palace will sell midfield star Adam Wharton at the end of the season if a multi-million bid comes in.

 

The England hopeful is on the wanted lists at Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City and has foreign interest as well.

 

Palace are now preparing to cash in if those giants come forward with the money - and the funds would help them.

 

A huge bid would give Palace extra to offer striker Jean-Philippe Mateta whose deal is running out. As revealed first here, the player and club are well apart in negotiations.

 

Palace were looking at giving Wharton a new deal with a fixed price in that contract. But that will not stop the likely exit of the young Eagle.

 

Blackburn Rovers will be watching developments as they are due a slice of the profit after selling him for £18 million plus a possible £4 million in extras.

 

Wharton will be open to a move that includes Champions League football as that seems the next step in his meteoric career.

Anywhere but United or Chelsea. 

 

I'll be surprised if Real Madrid/Barcelona don't try and entice. 

 

He'd be a perfect fit at Bayern too. He'd drastically improve his all round game by playing in another top league

Another Nixon classic. "Club could sell star player if a big bid comes in".

'If a multi-million bid comes in' has to be some of the stupidest phrasing I've seen in an article. Nearly every team in the Championship would pay 'multi millions' for him. Practically every move in the Prem is multi millions.

How is he an England hopeful?

No way will he go to united. They are also-rans and on top of that English players joining them usually spells the end of their careers.  See jadon sancho et al. He's good enough to play for real madrid

Top players have the picture in their head and the pass in their head early-Xavi, Scholes, Adam.

Tugay 

[47er]

Tugay could smash it in from 25 yards as well. After Douglas, the most naturally gifted player we ever had.

[philipl]

Saw bits of the Fulham and Dingles games. Adam surprisingly by his standards had a bit of a stinker at the Turd but would have been dominating the headlines if Fulham hadn't scored one of the sweetest goals I have ever seen.

[aletheia]

At the highest level the first two yards are in your head.

Selling Wharton to fund a contract for Mateta? Wow.

That's because they have a chance of keeping Mateta due to his age.  Although that chance is getting slimmer due to his performances

Wharton is gone regardless, to a club much higher up the ladder, so may as well cash in and keep another of their important players

Yeah I get it, it's still a funny sentence, though.

[joey_big_nose]

If I was Wharton I'd look abroad. The top clubs in England are chaotic at the moment and have huge squads. It's hard to be that sure you will get consistent games.

Man Utd - really poor team, and have ruined and are ruining so many good young players you would have to be mad to go

Man City - very stifling tactical setup, massive squad, what happens when Rodri is fit? Like Utd have track record of taking on young players and marginalising them

Chelsea - truly massive squad, vast turnover, got a lot of centre mids.

Liverpool - maybe best bet - but do they have any money after spending so huge in the summer? 

Arsenal - Could work but not sure they are looking to spend at the moment?

Munich, Real, Barca all good shouts I would say.

Will a Wharton sell-on fee buy us a new pitch? Adam bails the club out twice.
