We definitely got the s*** end of the stick when we swapped King Kenny for Clive Allen and even back in the 90’s Arsenal stole Wrighty off us for 2.5 million :'(

These are definitely two of the terrible deals I had in mind. And then we spent almost all of the net proceeds from the Wright transfer on a poor and over-priced replacement; Sunderland kindly helping us to ensure the money didn't burn a hole in our pocket.

Did you have to remind us YT . . . Marco Gabbiadini.

 


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

The speculation now moves on to Eze and Guehi. Goodbye Mr Olise.

I know! On arrival, we dubbed him 'Marco Goal-o', but we were soon disillusioned. (Although he did score a winner at Anfield, as I recall).

It's inevitable we are going to lose our best players. Only the Top-Of-the-Tree clubs (Real Madrid/Barca/ManC) keep their best talent.

The trick is to not sell them all at once, have a team/system where we are not reliant on a handful of stars and slowly build to get to a level where the 'selling on' of players is minimised.
That's easier said than done.

I have no hard Feelings toward Olise. Good luck to him. I shall be interested to see how he does with Bayern. Let use his money wisely and build for the future.

Have no issue with Olise moving on, the fee is disappointing but if the sell on clause is correct then that's some comfort at least.

He's been brilliant for us and I genuinely believe he's better than Zaha, has been a pleasure to watch him and just a pity he was a bit injury prone.

However, we'll replace him and hopefully will unearth another gem, if we haven't already got one with the likes of Franca.

It's a great selling point for potential signings anyway, reckon we must be such an attractive proposition right now.

For potential youngsters in the championship looking for premier lift, Palace must stand out as one of the best clubs to head for. For Philogene for instance we must be more attractive than Everton or Ipswich.
Bringing in exciting young blood looks like being our path forward. The Olise to Bayern deal for us is fantastic as we bank 100% of the cash immediately. Such is the advantage of a release clause.
I am expecting two or three more incomers now, especially if Eze goes. If they handle it right, this could put us in a really strong place.

I knew him as 'Gabbiadonkey'

But luckily, it hasn't taken us long to get over it.

It was between him and a young fella doing okay at Saints as I remember. But I'm sure Mr Shearer wouldn't have been a patch on MG.

Honestly, i couldn't care less about Olise he was aways going to go. I think it's imperative to tie down Oliver Glasner to a long term contract now , he is far more important to the team than any player IMHO .

I felt a bit sorry for him at the time, Wrighty was a tough act to follow and we kept banging the balls up to Gabbiadini in the same way we did for Wrighty to chase and he just didn’t have the pace, shame because he was a proven goalscorer at the time

Thats the issue, he only played 19 games last season due to injury. His talent unfortunately makes him a target to be brought down by the opposition.
His release clause of £60m seems fictional in relation to fee received.
Chance now for Franca to step up with Glasners guidance.

I'm sure Brian Deane was another one in the frame too.

In 1964 I was distraught when Bill Glazier went to Coventry (for what was a very good fee for a goalkeeper in those days) but that opened the way for John Jackson - and that didn’t turn out too badly. As one door closes another one opens, it is the way it is and the way it has always been. Michael Olise is a great talent, I have enjoyed watching him, but we move on.

Good perspective there.

Didn't we receive money plus AJ for Clinton Morrison, as part of that deal? Didn't work out too badly and I was gutted when CM left.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Steve Kember going to Chelsea was a disappointment but our recruitment is a lot better now than it was then.

Yeah, something like £4.25m and the right to buy AJ for £750k. Easily the club's best transfer deal of the 00s. We then bought Clinton back for £2m.

In the end, Birmingham gave us net £1.5m and Andy Johnson for a glorified 3 year loan of Clinton Morrison, in which time we got promoted.

Look I’m sorry he has gone but on the upside we signed Olise for £8M from Reading in 2021 - 3 years later we sell him for £50M - not too shoddy business..!!

Yes you can argue he’s worth more than that in todays market - but that was clearly the release clause that Parish negotiated with him last season, otherwise we’d have lost him to Chelsea for £35M - so we’re £15M up on the deal..!!

I’m just glad he’s signed for someone we won’t be playing against and he won’t be scoring against us.

On that point Bundesliga ain’t the Prem in terms of standard - you only need to look at Harry Kane to see that 36 goals in 32 games in the Bundesliga - but way off the pace for England at the Euros - to the point I’d play Toney ahead of him on Wednesday - never thought I’d say that..!!

So back to Olise he’s only 22 - so leaving the Prem at that age to go to a sub standard league - huge risk..!! Yes I get he’ll play Champions League - but week in week out football sub standard..!!

No doubt a significant increase in salary played a part in his decision - but also leaves me to wonder as I’ve said before if he’s decision is about he’s overall ability to deal with the rigours of the Prem given for one so young he’s not insignificant history of hamstring issues`!!??

On replacements - firstly he is not irreplaceable - we took a chance on him from the Championship and it worked.

There are other players out there now just waiting to be afforded that opportunity - Palace’s contribution of most players in the England squad at the Euros must demonstrate we are a good club to join to enhance your talent and progress your career - you only need to look at Wharton to see that..!!

For my money Jaden Philogene and Antonio Nusa fit the bill perfectly - we could get both for less than we receive for Olise and arguably be stronger in terms of talent but certainly depth - the latter having been our problem for the last few seasons..!!

Meantime COYP and COYE
