yes, i bet a lot of Chairman are asking their Chief Scouts why didn't we get him, England Squad if Southgate's any sense, hang on....

Anyone that has seen his first two games for Palace would know he is an absolute cert starter and has already added £10m to his transfer value.
Fantastic business by our club- well done Dougie!

If he develops into a box to box holding midfielder instead of a defensive one then he will fill the most obvious gap in our play.

A successor to Watson, Cabaye and Bannon in the making and, if successful, will solve our goal shortage by providing the service all recent No.9's have lacked.

Man and boy Palace since my first game in 1948 sitting on my dad's shoulders

I know we winge about last minute deals etc etc, but to be fair, Dougie and his team (incl. the Chairman) have pulled off some bloody good deals over the past few years.

I still cant believe we got him for £20m , the kid is an class act

Same price as Henderson? You win some - and loose some !

On current form he won’t get the ‘boot’
