In my book, this is a player I don’t really want in the team at all anyway, but have I totally misjudged him? Just a possible character playbook of the player that is Michael Olise. What are fans thoughts on how he has played out his career with us to date? I think you have completely mis judged him. He has been nothing but professional and one of the best players to ever play for Palace. Off to one of the biggest clubs in the world. I’ve forgotten him already but Good luck to him.

What are fans thoughts on how he has played out his career with us to date? An interesting observation Eaglecoops and I'm sure you're not alone. I've been hoping and praying (figure of speech) that he would still be Palace next season. I've loved watching him play, such sublime skills, but you have to say he's hardly ever looked like he's enjoying himself. I remember just once when he scored and ran, smiling, to embrace Ollie. Mostly he's a miserable git and shows no emotional attachment to Palace. Added to the fact that he hasn't played a full season I have now come round to the view that we are better off without him. Dougie, Ollie and the rest of the team will find a replacement to suitably fill the void. Just pleased he won't be in the Prem to annoy us.

Yea , cant argue with that . He has never looked happy , only that one time he ran to OG when he scored and the day he signed his new contract . We won without him when he was injured im sure we will manage without him . Good luck to him though and i hope it work out for him . When your children are teenagers, it’s important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you

His ability has never been in question, his love of the Palace family perhaps less so, I don’t think anyone is suggesting we are better off without such a good player, but better off without a player who is not wedded to playing for us.

Having spent 35 years teaching and coaching teenagers, I know that many of them embrace cool, even enigmatic behavior – heck, that approach has been popular as far back as James Dean, Bob Dylan, and the Beatles. I also think he's a bit of a perfectionist who, even when he scores goals, rues the chances he has missed. Finally, just like his best mate Eze, he is a fundamentally respectful and humble young man who may regard any kind of celebration as unbecoming. They may vastly prefer the restraint of someone like Ayew to the cockiness of a Ronaldo. The fact that he and Eze are such good friends – almost brotherly – says a lot to me about Olise's personality as well as his character.

Quite, thank you Eaglecoops. No denying he's a wonderful player and I'm very sorry to see him go. My point, maybe not expressed well, is that Olise is not true to the Palace way, and, as such, we wave goodbye, wish him luck and rebuild successfully with others identified by Dougie and his team. Not forgetting, of course, that we have JRS and Franca waiting to be given an opportunity under Ollie's tutelage. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end.

I don't care how happy he appears. Actually I prefer his manner to the cliché of a player kissing the badge and running to the crowd then a year later doing the same thing with a different club.

If I am in Olises position... I wouldn't fancy staying at a club that flirts with relegation every season and then when I get to 30/31 no trophies and only a club in turkey wants me. (Yes I'm looking at Zaha) I'm going to go and win trophies while I am in my prime. The release clause was great for olise something the likes of Zaha should have had when Arsenal came calling.

He should be ambitious, for, imo, he deserves to be playing in the best competitions in the world, such is his talent. It's players like him that make me love football, the beautiful game. I'm pleased he's not flash, too, as it happens. Just talented. For me, he is the best I've ever seen at Palace, even above Atillio. Good luck, MO, and best wishes.

Not too many are denying Olise’s ability or right to move to a top Champions League. club. Perhaps we have a sell on clause so that when in a year or so he decides Bayern are not good enough for him,and Real Madrid come calling and buy him for £100 million, we at least get some further remuneration? Such is football these days resembling ever more a commodity trading platform. I agree with Eaglecoops point on loyalty and have sympathy for the 10 year olds who joyously purchased shirts with Olise’s name in the weeks after Olise signed a new 5 year deal which he had no intention of fulfilling. Perhaps they should have a money back guarantee in a similar way to Olise’s exit clause? Ultimately it’s the fans that lose out as more and more money leeches out of the game to agents and players, with the fans paying for much of this excess. We won’t go back, but I preferred the days of no exit clauses or sell on provisions and times when long term contracts had meaningful value.

Players come and they go, the only loyalty is from the fans, Kamada is a good player and I suspect Franca will turn out good, if there’s no more release clauses no need to sell, IMO I would accept an 80m+ offer for Guehi, and reinvest in some championship talent “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Lot of speculation and a sprinkling of bitterness on here. We can’t complain too much about the fee then we bought him for 8 million from a club on the verge of bankruptcy. He showed loyalty last season by not going to Chelsea. Bayern are a huge club and the German league is nothing the prem isn’t except better run clubs and better fans (except ours)! Also how do we know that this isn’t part of the clubs plan? Maybe he has to be sold this summer for the model to work?

It's not so much bitterness, but it does lead to cynicism. The next time a high profile player signs a 5 year contract and gives a press conference about being delighted to be committed to the club and having the long term future settled, fans will be entitled to query the sincerity of the whole process. The contractual equivalent of kissing the badge at whichever club thry happen to play for. Originally posted by lefty27 Lot of speculation and a sprinkling of bitterness on here.
