Sorry, what are you hoping is not the case? I don't understand your concern.

Edit: apologies: I've just got my head in gear; you are talking about Ebs.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Whilst I hope Olise well in his new venture, I'm a bit miffed, he (probably) spent more time injured with us, than playing for us. The modern footballer, hey ho.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Missed 24 league games through injury in 3 years, so an average of available for 30 and unavailable for 8 per season.

26th January 2010 - Enter Administration
2nd May 2010 - D-Day 1 - Survival at Hillsborough
1st June 2010 - D-Day 2 - Survival at Lloyds
7th June 2010 - CPFC2010 exchange contracts.

I think it is more

My thoughts

- one of the best right wingers I have ever seen at Palace. My 16 year old son asked me who i have seen who was better, and frankly i was clutching at straws - having supported Palace since 1986.
- He stayed with us for 1 extra year, upgraded his contract, so we got more money for him when he left
- Yes, yes he had his injury problems. but i am fairly confident that the medical team at Bayern can work out if he is fit and viable.
- I am glad that i dont have to watch him punishing us in the premier league next year.
- we have a sell on clause for if and when he goes to PSG (or whoever)
- i truly think he will become one of the best players who ever played on selhurst turf
- im so pissed he left, but i understand why

I'm greatful we were able to see a player of that quality do what he did for the last couple of years. He was exceptional and what we saw from the few games at the end of last season...well we won't get many better players, or combos with Eze.

Enjoy it while it lasted and if anyone thinks we can keep the best then that's wishful thinking. Let's hope we are place that the best think they can come, to be the best, #stepping stone, then we will have some fun times. The odd brilliant one will stay, they might come back. If we are the best holiday destination out there we could become the Ibiza of football.

We got £45m for AWB five years ago and £50.8m for Olise now…short changed me thinks.

An absolute pleasure to watch, so much quality at such a young age. He's destined for great things if he can stay injury free. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on him (a lot of Bayern fans in the extended family) and I'll never miss the opportunity to tell people where he learnt his trade.

We've earnt a very tidy profit, a lot less than his actual value imo but that's fairly common these days with release clauses Haaland, Bellingham, MacCallister etc and I can fully understand players ambitions.

Hopefully we can invest well and we're certainly positioning ourselves as one of the most attractive clubs for young players to come to and excel. Long may it continue as it's a sensible and exciting model for ther club.

Obviously getting a big move is going to come with more money (and it's ridiculous amounts but that's not anything specific to this move) however if it was purely for money he'd have gone to Saudi for more. Bayern is a huge club offering annual challenges for domestic and European titles. That's certainly a good way to further his career and I don't think any realistic Palace fan could argue against that. Obviously give it a few more years and we'll be able to offer the same

Wish Michael all the best but in my opinion not irreplaceable
A great price for a player who's has had two serious hamstring injuries and didn't cost us that much when we bought him. Ebs is a different matter. Need to keep at all costs

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong
