I don't know about anyone else on here but my attitude is to be totally sceptical about transfer speculation, in or out, until I see it on CPFC.co.uk. But I thought this article was quite balanced (and amusing) in case you've not read it.

Bottom line is us or City if he's wise, which I think he seems to be. Villa have a place for him but will they continue to be Champions League?
I think him and Ebs will stay for next year as everyone is having so much fun.

I reckon if he went to City, at best he would get a role like Palmer had. I dont know much, but it seems to me Palmer is having a lot more fun at Chelsea and nearly the Premier top scorer and having fun on this messed up planet counts for a lot. If Olise had not been injured this season, where would he have got to on goal tally ranking?

It's going to be like Zaha every transfer window. Hopefully not unsettling to all involved.

I'm not too worried. We seem to be building a team where we don't rely on just one individual as we did with Zaha for so long.
It's more important to keep Glasner and prepare for his eventual leaving by having a sound replacement who can pick up where he left off. These last few weeks I've gone into games expecting a win in each game and never experienced that before. We have to keep the winning mentality.

Really? A thread just for this?
Olise will either stay or go, and every clickbait site on the planet will be telling us he is going, right up until the point where he doesn't. Then they will make a 'shock' story out of that.
How many Summers have to go by before we learn not to believe internet nonsense?
If Ornstein or Romano says something about it, then maybe it's credible.

Romano has said that both will leave this summer, but he gets plenty wrong and isn't the wise Gandolf that everyone holds him up to be!

Well , im not getting my fingerprints on this on . When all the press had him sold to Chelsea i slated the shivt out of him unfairly and he signed a new contract for us . All im going to say is , i love seeing him in a Palace shirt , i dont think he will be adored like that anywhere else , give him another 50-100k per week and remove the buyout clause if there is one . Enjoy him tearing up selhurst Park and scoring wonderfull goals and enjoy it while you can.

No players are bigger than the club, but yes - keeping our diamond duo Oleze would make this summer's transfer window a huge success.

Good thread. We all ‘know’ Olise ‘must’ go to a bigger club but when you look at which club that would be, the move looks far from certain and as the article concludes, staying at Palace is a big contender in the race to sign Olise. Add to this that Freedman is putting together a team that could be competing for a European place next season then the chances of Olise, Eze and Guehi all staying are much much higher than we would instinctively feel.
The key to this though is Freedman - he is the person we really need to keep.

That is not the same as confirming that they are leaving.
He is more reliable than the endless twaddle you get served up on a daily basis, but circumstances change in an instant and only the players involved really know what they are thinking.

I think Olise would move to City, but probably not anyone else. With City, you are practically guaranteed to win the league.
He's not to dissimilar in Marhez in playing style. Who wasn't replaced.

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

If and when he does leave i have full faith that we have a back up plan in place and players are already being looked at as possible replacements

He seems to have a great relationship with Glasner.. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him stay.. at least for another year.. the way we are playing suits him and we could well be challenging for Europe next season...

I disagree with this as I fear they are both going in the next transfer window.
We just have to hope we can invest the funds wisely and find two more (And some!)

I see Newcastle's hat has been thrown into the ring by the media. I would say there's no chance, but given their owners were willing to murder their own people to build a city I guess we can't say for certain. I did see some of their fans suggesting Almiron is better than MO which at least gave me a good laugh.
He looks like a City-type player but I can't see where he fits in unless Foden or Silva were to leave. I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at PSG given his desire to play for the French national team.
I'm hoping he wants to enjoy one more season with us where there's less pressure and he can enjoy his football. It's not like Zaha though, Olise is good enough for any club in the world and has a maturity and calmness that will see him end up at the very top.

This is one of the few threads I want to go on for years
TBH, I thought City missed a trick when they didn't pick him up after his first year with us, but they decided to retain Mahrez for another season. Guess they didn't suffer too much for that decision

Olise is smart with the release clause. Apparently too, the clubs have to go directly through him, rather than Palace (this may have been Chelsea's mistake last season).
What it enables him to do is collect a bunch of offers. For Palace it's the same (65 million, or whatever it is). But for him, he can set the clubs against each other to demand the best compensation package. He's in total control.
He will leave in the summer because someone is going to at least double, if not triple his salary, which is something we can't match. Obviously he'll want playing time, but I think most teams will play him pretty much every game at that salary.
