In my opinion, TP wants Saido out, he is an inecfectual unsettling influence, but he can not say that, value would plummet. By saying he wants him to stay will mean clubs have to work harder and pay more unless he goes for free. Palace are desperate for a goal scorer ... he can do it. We may get £30 mil yet.

Agree with that , apart from the £30m bit. We're playing a tricky game of poker here and it could end up with us getting reasonable dosh for him in the next 2 weeks - IMO £20m would still be outstanding - or zilch.
We've gotta take the money and run, surely.
