Key member of the group. Very important player. Seems almost imperative for him to stay here. Just imagine Doucoure, as well, in the CG role. I'd take that in two Cheiks of a lamb's tail. Edited by Glazier#1 (29 Jun 2022 9.20pm)

I have cracked on about this for years but I repeat: What do you call Eze? And you'd be surprised at how creative Hughes can be...I think this is a big season for Will.

Amazing to think he cost about £10m four years ago and will go for nothing. If he cost us £50k a week in wages, he's basically been a net outlay of about £5m a year. Perhaps closer to £6m in practice. I accept prem money is crazy, but that's such a large amount for a guy who, yes he helps us, but isn't an amazing talent. I don't really see how we aren't doing a lot more selling.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

After tomorrow Kouyate, is no longer a Palace player, if no new contract happens today.

I don't get this at all. We agree new contracts for 4 players one 34 years of age yet we cannot accommodate Kouyate? He is still immense I think we will regret it.

We need cover at the centre of the defence and, if we play with three at the back next season that would provide a role for Kouyate alongside Guehi and Andersen. However, as a free agent he will be able to command a signing on fee plus higher wages so, with regret, we probably can't compete with that.

It could be money, as a free he might get more elsewhere . But the club seem to have a policy of only going one year at a time with the over thirty players. Edited by Putitout (30 Jun 2022 8.59pm)

Worth remembering that he'll play at the World Cup in December, and then there's an AFCON next summer. A 2 year contract will see him having played 12 months of non-stop football by the start of next season. Makes the reluctance to offer a 2 year contract a lot more understandable, especially when a good chunk of the rest of the squad will also be at that AFCON.
