But even in this hypothetical scenario, that's not realistic. It's not likely that one club would pay £25k, and no one else would pay over £2k. I'm also a bit freaked out that I've already got a missus at 19 years old. WTF was I thinking?

Would you join Palace if...

This.
Although I enjoy (most) of the banter between Palace and Brighton it goes no further than that for me and I'd quite happily have them as my employer.
If it was Rangers, Celtic or Leeds the choice may be a little more difficult to make (although I'd probably still choose the same way)

Not the JPF ..splitters !
Firstly never in a million years . I would rather boil my own feet and eat them .
Secondly , if I was worth £25k a week , there would at least be one other club out there that would want me and I would happily play for . I would even discount myself to a mere £20k a week. Any other club , just not that club.

I would probably $hag my mum for £25k a week to be honest
Yes I would, I'd love to. But 2K a week is not very much money for a 15 year career, and I don't think a 19 year old moving from League 2 to the Premier League would be seen as 'purely for greed'. In fact, I actually think the majority of Albion fans would understand. Moving from a club where you are earning 80K a week and winning trophies to a worse club in the Middle East for £200K a week is moving 'purely for greed'. Moving up three levels to better yourself, isn't.
What would you rather be at 35, a washed-up footballer with no propspects for the next 40 years who played for their local team, or an ex Premier League player financially secure wnough to do whatever you wanted for the rest of your life? Because for me, some things are far more important. And apart from anything else, you wouldn't have to play for Palace for the rest of your career.
Yes true, but if you get the opportunity you would be unwise not to take it. It's all very well thinking you'd sit tight and another offer will come in, but what if then all of a sudden you get injured, or have a really bad run of form? You'd be sitting there on 2K a week, not getting in the team, your contract running down, thinking why the hell didn't I sign that 3 year 25K a week contract I was offered. It's a very short career, in which nothing is certain.
I already do.
Get well soon, Noone! i think you must be delirious if you think about Palace ever being Premiership quality again.

Yes, because with Palace, I'd have the ability to score own goals.
