If he were to be sold we'd be getting every penny of our £30m investment back. This is utterly irrelevant though, as he won't be sold.
"The pit of despair" is actually a rather positive place at the moment considering we've had a good pre-season and it's looking increasingly likely that Wilfried will still be a Palace player after the window closes.
No, I don't think that his value has increased by 25%, which is why I didn't say that. £30m however is a completely fair price for a player that a) Palace have no desire or need to sell, b) is one of the best defenders outside the top 4 and c) is still only 28.
First line , first post” If he were to be sold, we’d be getting every penny of our £30 million investment back”.
You paid £24 million for him, 30 million is 25% more.
