My concern with Hudson-Odoi is one of attitude. Will he be an Eze and want to prove doubters wrong, or will he a Dele Ali and just want the pay cheque. His application and attitude were previously questioned at Chelsea, so it is a genuine concern. On paper he should be a great signing, but so much of how far a player goes is dependent on their attitude, perhaps even more so than ability (although of course natural ability is important). He hasn't really done much to shout about in recent times so it is all very much an unknown and the fact Chelsea might (supposedly) be willing to go as far as terminating his contract should set some alarm bells ringing. A lot of that was likely down to game time. He'll get much more here, plus he won't complain about not being in the Champion's League squad because there isn't one.

Its definitely reason for concern. And not a recipe for success, but I have some confidence that we are a good environment for players to thrive. Especially flair players. We also don't have a massive squad, so more through lack of options, we cant swap and change players after a bad game.

Also he wont get anymore a week at AC Milan than he will at us, about 80k, 15 less than Edouard -.-' Benteke 2

Yes, seems to have done nothing since he got a massive contract at Chelsea a few seasons back (supposedly c£100k a week) and had a poor loan in Germany last season. He is young and exciting, but it is clearly a gamble. I can see Palace wanting to do a loan and option to buy deal. I suspect Chelsea want the money upfront.

Mail is reporting that Fulham have made an offer worth just £4.5m for Hudson-Odoi So I suspect that isn't 100% accurate, but anything under 10m feels like business we should be doing Yes,we should but wonder whether Steve is planning only loan and frees this window,which would be very underwhelming,despite massive reduction in wages bill.

Is he really worth less than Demari Gray. Wages might be the issue. Gray £25k a week -reported. CHO might be on a lot more.

I know he only has 1 year left so must know his next contract will not match this but can't seeing him leaving for at least £80k. That would make him one of Palace's top earners.

Better than Edouard in my opinion and we need to keep him even if it’s just a squad position and we purchase a new main forward so that they both fight for the No 1 slot in the team. Gray for his price and salary is worth a gamble on in my opinion. I’ve always been worried about him when playing against us. Hope that transfer happens :-)
