Palace's 4 high profile signings of recent times are Benteke, Sakho, Cabaye and Townsend. Why did they chose to come to Palace?
In Benteke and Sakho's case - nobody else would pay the fee Liverpool wanted for them.
Cabaye wanted 1st team football to get into the France squad for the European Championships in his home country and we were the highest profile team.
Townsend wanted Premier League football.
So why would Wilshere choose us over, say, West Ham? Can we pay him more than West Ham?
Given that Wilshere's a free transfer he'd command over £1m for a signing on fee plus over £100k a week in wages as he's an England international.
I love Palace as much as the next Palace fan but to give up Cabaye, who people say can only play 70 minutes a game, to sign Wilshere, who can just about manage 70 minutes every other game, isn't in keeping with our financial model.
