Don’t do it Michael, sign the improved contract and see what options are available next year. Chelsea are a mess and have just down graded big time with their chosen manager. He will be sacked by Christmas, even Leicester fans are happy he’s gone.

It does sound a little more realistic than most of the others.

Time will tell, though. I can well imagine that Olise's agent is itching to get a deal done before he's banned.

Another click bait suggesting Manure want him and are prepared to offer Diallo plus cash. Pure speculation I’m sure but probably a better option than most of the other rejects mentioned. The lad scored some cracking goals for Sunderland, has a sweet left foot and is the right age.

Alan Nixon, who seems to me to be more reliable than most on Palace stuff, had repeatedly said that there is currently nothing of substance in all the media reports about him.

I would be very surprised / disappointed if he went to Chelsea. They are a ridiculous club with no coherent strategy other than buying as many talented young players for huge fees as possible and hoping they gel. Absolutely no guarantee that Maresca, who only just got Leicester over the line, will be the saviour there.

United have a decade long track record of ruining players.

If it was City, Arsenal, Liverpool or a big overseas club I'd understand him wanting to take the opportunity but Chelsea and United could ruin him. If he has any sense, and I think he does, he'd spend another season here and then go to one of those clubs.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

All players are available if the price is right.
Even the all powerful Ferguson at Manchester United had to concede to Ronaldo’s demands to join Real Madrid, although at least he was able to extract a further season from Ronaldo before he finally departed.
There’s loads of speculation around but ultimately it’s up to Olise whether he leaves if clubs meet contractual demands.
Olise is notably taciturn, so I don’t expect him to declare what he may or may not do.

Yep, looks genuine. Better he goes there rather than to a Premier League rival. I assume the sale is for £100,000,000 plus….

hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

Doesn't help us, does it. I'll be gutted.

We will never be a 'big club' if we don't keep our quality players.

Why do I bother?

It is of course 'gutting' Hrolf, I'll join you there (on the assumption it's true/plays out as such).

However, I would suggest that we'll highly unlikely ever be a 'big club' but quite possibly a 'bigger club' if we continue to sell players for big money/profit, keeping finding good'uns to bring into the team and keep a hold of our current manager.

Would love MO to stay however I wouldn't swap him staying for the OG leaving. We got MO as his sights were set higher than Reading, he'll leave in similar fashion. Best of luck to him, onwards and upwards for us.

COYP

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I would suggest that we had already anticipated the possible/probable departure of both Olise and Guehi by purchasing Ryad and hopefully Kamada. It isn't the end of the world if both turn out as useful as they seem, and we end up financially in a better position to strengthen other positions.

I dunno. Think we have a long term chance of becoming a big club. South London deserves one, needs one….no I don’t include the Chelsea post code.

Professional Football is still young. 150/180 years? Who knows how the landscape will be in many years to come. Look where Preston NE are now and where they used to be etc. things change.

Well probably become relentless prem league winners in 300 years time when most have moved on to spending their spare time experiencing futuristic VR worlds or space travel though eh
