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. 

Man United are not a top club

While they haven't had much glory glory over the last ten years they are still undeniably one of the biggest clubs in the world, just as Liverpool were when they went two decades without winning the league and to a lesser extent Arsenal now.

Wharton did some great work to create the chance for Palace's penalty goal today against Leeds. However, he was also involved the other way at three set-piece goals conceded by Palace. To me, it looks like he was marking Calvert-Lewin for both his goals and then relieved of that duty, arguably didn't do enough to try to stop a knock down on the edge of the box that Ampadou seized on.

I would say the first conceded goal was the biggest mistake, the other two were harder for him to defend. Nonetheless, I do think it highlights some defensive frailties in a clearly wonderful player. It reinforces to me that he is not (yet) the defensive midfielder some present him as and, arguably, Glasner, was at fault for putting him on duty on Calvert-Lewin at set-pieces in the first place.

Complete mismatch to have Adam trying to mark Calvert Lewin it's the job of a centre half.

He just wanted the Dingles further adrift in the relegation zone..

The foreign teams would give him a better chance to stand out for the national side too.

They might not be a top team, but as much as it pains me to say so, they are a top club.

Don't like them either, but they are one of the biggest clubs in the world...
