Montpellier have just unveiled him as their new signing. Brings to an end an expensive lesson for us. Undoubtedly talented but too many mistakes for the price tag and salary.

"It's ok postman , he'll lick you to death" "That isn't really that comforting , I still end up dead !!"

Fantastic on loan. We then paid too much for him and matched his too high salary. Undoubtedly a brilliant player at times but not consistent enough for the money.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Shame he had the potential to be a 'Cult Hero' at Palace but turned out to be a Donkey

as others have stated, was great on loan but a bad signing thereafter.
thats quite a few bob just gone off the wage bill!

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Like many players who play a lot of football in their teens, he's burned out by his early 30s. Add Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Micah Richards & Cesc Fabregas to that list. Hopefully Clyne, Moses & Zaha don't go that way. James Milner a rare exception.

I can't see this being good business for Montpellier, but good luck to them.

That’s about right. Sakho, was a brilliant technical player , in his early mid twenties . And if he had not have burnt out as you say , would have been the class central defender that could have made us a much better side than we actually were in the last three years
It is what it is though ,and it can’t be said he proved value for money for us. Montpelier, are not likely to get that much out of him either
