He's very inconsistent imo.
He's older and already had a chance but flopped at Chelsea. And Man City actually (although Palmer also couldn't make it there).Olise is cheaper and has more potential.

I don't even buy there are that many dumb ones to be fair. The club modus operanandi is to make good money from talent developed to always keep ffp at bay. I'd say only losing the likes of say Livramento on frees is what is dumb.Most of them made sense at the time (or.at.least, you could see the reasonong) Losing Guehi and Tomori looks ridiculous given what.we paid on centre backs since the but we the club didn't plan on the sanctions and not being able to keep Rudiger and Christensen.
Mount rejected a big contract so we cashed in.
Livramemto rejected a contract extension because he didn't want to be stuck behind Reece James (same with Tariq Lamptey). The choice was to cash in or lose them for peanuts. All 3 seem like sick notes to be honest. Maybe if we kept all 3 we could stagger their long term injuries and be set at left back.
Obviously there are lots of horrible decisions but they're not all super dumb.
Or keep your young talent, develop them and don't spend fortunes on transfers. Another way of keeping FFP at bay.I don't even buy there are that many dumb ones to be fair.

Yeah, I think he's bit of a character. I don't mind though, honestly - as long as the discipline is in check.What's his attitude like? He comes across as quite....unique.
Was third in the league for assists last season and people said he didn’t score enough goals, has now scored 5 goals in 9 games for a depleted Palace side this season. He’s not the finished article of course but statistically he’s right up there already.He's very inconsistent imo.
Yeah. When I've seen him, he's always been hit-and-miss. But, I wouldn't catch many Palace games unless they're on TV and I have time.Was third in the league for assists last season and people said he didn’t score enough goals, has now scored 5 goals in 9 games for a depleted Palace side this season.

I think he’ll go to City and be bloody brilliant.
Thats what they have done with the likes of Reece James, Broja and Colwill. They do both things.Or keep your young talent, develop them and don't spend fortunes on transfers. Another way of keeping FFP at bay.
Who is the 70m guy?because Boehly preferred engaging in a dick measuring contest with John Henry and spending £170m on two defensive midfielders one of whom has yet to play rather than addressing his glaring deficiencies upfront after nkunku got injured.
We’ve made about £40m on Livramento.I don't even buy there are that many dumb ones to be fair. The club modus operanandi is to make good money from talent developed to always keep ffp at bay. I'd say only losing the likes of say Livramento on frees is what is dumb.
I don't think I've ever seen him have a game where he impressed me through the whole match. I've only seen moments of class.He's very inconsistent imo.
Exactly my sentiments.I don't think I've ever seen him have a game where he impressed me through the whole match. I've only seen moments of class.
I can't say I watch Palace that much but I've seen them enough that I should be able to see where a lot of the hype comes from but if I'm honest I can't see it, especially at the crazy prices being mentioned in here.
Would be good, but the club isn't just one single entity making every decision.Or keep your young talent, develop them and don't spend fortunes on transfers. Another way of keeping FFP at bay.
His inconsistency is partly down to playing for a low block side who mostly don’t control possession, therefore he’s left to moments to work his magic because it’s not like Palace have territorial control in most games.I don't think I've ever seen him have a game where he impressed me through the whole match. I've only seen moments of class.

I know. I was reffering to any case you may have let a talent near that level leave for zip. I don't believe they are many.We’ve made about £40m on Livramento.
£115m on caicedo, £60m on lavia.Who is the 70m guy?
A 270m midfield 3 would be unreal.
You can take the boy out of Chelsea...Serious hamstring injury according to Hodgson. Twit.
Kinda shitty to say this as well...Awful management from Hodgson to bring him on when he clearly wasn't ready.
Pure incompetence.Another player might have come up and said, 'Look, I don't think it's worth it. I need a bit more time.'
Desperation tooPure incompetence.
He won’t play for Hodgson again.Kinda shitty to say this as well...
"It's not easy when you've got a player like Olise on the bench to turn around and say 'just sit there'.
"Michael is a quiet guy and that's another part of this situation. Another player might have come up and said, 'Look, I don't think it's worth it. I need a bit more time.'
Old man who can't cut it anymore vibes right there.Kinda shitty to say this as well...

Not only is he victim blaming the player for getting injured, chances are if Olise did say that he wasn’t fully fit and needed more time, Hodgson very well could have said after that he’s got a player who isn’t up for it when it’s tough and would rather sit on the bench.Kinda shitty to say this as well...

Now hopefully he punishes them all while playing for Utd at senior level.Hadn’t realised that he played for Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City at academy level.
Eze moved around a fair bit at youth level too, but not all the big names like that.Hadn’t realised that he played for Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City at academy level.
