It'll be quite funny if Arsenal 'do a Burnley', and make their counterbid:-
£40,000,001.
£40,000,001.

That boy’s career is full of rash decisions.
However, he’s right to go for a move now and Arsenal would appear a good opportunity given style of play etc.
Palace would be wrong to keep him, and I don’t think they’ll try too hard, or they shouldn’t. It’s a meaningless distraction.
He’s not worth £80m and there’s no reason - at present - to believe that he ever will be. He’s good, but not that good. Personally, I don’t think he has surrounded himself with people who will help him develop the right long term mentality.
As for all this ‘fried chicken’ talk, I don’t think it’s right, helpful or relevant, and I have no idea where it’s originated from or why, but let’s not all go there shall we? If the intention is to link fried chicken shops to him because he is black, then that is just wrong, whether the comment is consciously done or accidentally so.
As Stat points out, there’s enough panto going on in SE11.

This!
I can't be arsed to quote exactly.
But it was broadly:
Someone quoted Chickens coming home to roost, in regards to Mr Parrish's Dirty Bird enterprise.
Followed by Croydon locals setting fire to the shops
And then a comment about Good! more chicken shops in South Norwood.
Not a single mention of anyone's race or reference to any person who is black.
As someone whose posts I usually respect, this is poor.
Read the thread.
There has been zero comment re race. Apart from some idiotic Palace goons taking exception to being put in their place (as per) and desperately trying to call people racist for pointing out that Parish has invested in some takeaways and that Croydon is a shithole.
Nothing to do with the colour of anyone's skin.
You've fallen into the Palace fishing net unfortunately.

Are you really trying to argue that “black people love fried chicken” isn’t a pretty common racist stereotype?
I mean I don’t think it’s the worst crime ever, but it’s pretty understandable that you’ve been called out on it. It’s the same as that video of some of our fans chanting that Zaha has malaria. Yeah you can argue it’s not racist because white people get malaria too but the context makes it very clear.
Following your line of reasoning, perhaps you could riddle me this:
The forum were discussing the financial chicanery of your Chairman, Wilfs agent and even Glann Murray’s involvement in a chain of Chicken outlets in London. This episode led to Glann getting arrested at dawn in a police raid.
I said that London, especially south London has already got a LOT of access to fried chicken thereby implying that this venture seems ill advised. Even if we overlook the fraud aspect and focus entirely on market saturation.
Your mate says that makes me a racist.

Not seen such Bravery!
Just remembered that I was called racist for referring to Mr Tumble as *Dwayne Dibley*.

Danny John Jules and the SEGW are both black, ergo..... you're a racist.Just remembered that I was called racist for referring to Mr Tumble as *Dwayne Dibley*.

That's Palace logic!
Is it also racist to say that Steve McLaren looks like a mouldy piece of pork pie that's been left on the table at a cheap wedding buffet? Or that Wayne Rooney looks like a Tesco value ham sandwich, reduced to 20p as the box is a bit ****ed from being dropped on the floor?
If so then I best hand myself in to the authorities.
I have honestly never seen a more RIDICULOUS attempt at deflection than that in this thread from the Palace GOONS.
Unbelievably some people have fallen for it.
I think that anyone who can consider that statement racist has more deep rooted problems and racist leanings that the OP.
... and then pay 10p in the pound?

No one linked Wilf to fried chicken. Just to be clear.
Incidentally. Fried chickens’ association with Black folk stems from slavery in the Deep South. Slaves would fry chicken as it kept it eatable while they were out in the cotton fields.
I’m not sure how many British black people can trace their ancestry back to African slaves in Alabama but I’ll bet it’s not many. This link with racism might, therefore, be relevant in the U.S but certainly not in the UK...unless you’re a knobhead who wants to lash out because some Brighton fans are amused that corporate incompetence at Palace has led to their star player publicly stating he doesn’t want to play there anymore.
I am absolutely not bothered by 99% of the jestermens insults and jibes. But I’ve got an Anglo Indian son who would not forgive me if I let an accusation of racism, on my part, slide.
I’ve asked politely for a retraction. It hasn’t been forthcoming. That’s it really.
or maybe the fans will have a whip-round?

I don’t doubt Wilf and his skills...but rated unfairly higher than someone “before” the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Whoever that was...Mary’s mum? I doubt Wilf is better than the mother of the living God.

Part of me wants the Zaha deal to go through, because it would piss off Palace fans and increase their chances of relegation. Another part thinks, he's doing a pretty good job of crippling their finances, so if they did go down with him on an improved long term deal, they'd be in a situation where they had to let him go for next to nothing or have him in the championship on £150 per week. That would be amusing as well.

I’m with you. I believe it suits US (by US I mean Brighton and Hove Albion...not Uncle Spielberg) for him to stay right where he is. A frustrated, victimised Wilf is worth far more to anyone likely to be battling in the bottom half of the table than a happy and fulfilled Wilf playing at Arsenal.
I’m therefore backing Parish. I fully expect another 20million quid to be added taking Wilf to the same level as Ronaldo or Messi.
He’s already worth more than Hazard and is catching up with Neymar...where oh where will it end.

Another example of why it’s ill advised to type “Glenn” into an iPhone whilst dropping kids at school.
I do think Glann...sorry Glenn, was acting like the tip of a penis by going into a business venture with Parish so, I’m happy with how that particular typo worked out.
