The noises coming out of Palace were that they would sell for £35m. Considering we'd be able to punt him on for £20-£25m this summer at the very worst that seems like a good "don't get relegated" insurance policy to me?

Are Palace desperate for money? That would be suicide for them to sell Mateta at this point. There are looking over their shoulder as much as us.,..

Would probably do a lot better than Muani has this season for us. Seems like he would be a good fit for Frank.

Cheaper than relegation, but also we imo should aim higher than him for signings we're spending that kind of money on.

The problem is that players better than him are aiming higher than Spurs if moving clubs.

Absolutely. So for me the smart thing to do from a long term perspective is to spend that money elsewhere or on a younger player with potential or bust not sign that player until we can sign someone really good.

Short term though we need to not get relegated and are eeking our way towards a relegation scrap. So it may be time to just ignore the longer term and get an immediate fix. To me part of the reason we're in this mess in the first place is too many years of not having a sufficiently long term focus so I'm hesitant to say we should just focus on here and now. But two or three losses more upcoming now and that may look different and by then the transfer window will be closed.

You mean exactly how we have got into this particular current mess?
 
He misses so many chances though. Missed a big one again at 0-0 vs Chelsea. I'm not against his signing but I hate to think how Spurs fans would react to him.

I know a few Palace fans having lived in the territory and they love him (loathe him for leaving) they are fairly unanimous that his forms now is because his heads gone
