I'd rather we didn't get him now.

It's still mind-blowing that we're in a position to be paying £70 million for a player...but I'd like it to be on a mind-blowing player which he isn't.

We're paying (or would be) the English player tax compounded by the Newcastle tax and the fact that Palace have to give Chelsea a decent chunk of whatever they get for him.

I hope we move on...which inevitably means he'll be here by Friday
