Not too many are denying Olise’s ability or right to move to a top Champions League. I agree with Eaglecoops point on loyalty and have sympathy for the 10 year olds who joyously purchased shirts with Olise’s name in the weeks after Olise signed a new 5 year deal which he had no intention of fulfilling. Ultimately it’s the fans that lose out as more and more money leeches out of the game to agents and players, with the fans paying for much of this excess. We won’t go back, but I preferred the days of no exit clauses or sell on provisions and times when long term contracts had meaningful value.

There was no issues with sell on clauses from Palace fans when we got him from Reading.

Sorry, I completely disagree. I wish him nothing but the best and feel privileged, as a Palace fan, that he's worn the shirt for as long as he has. He should be ambitious, for, imo, he deserves to be playing in the best competitions in the world, such is his talent. It's players like him that make me love football, the beautiful game. I'm pleased he's not flash, too, as it happens. Just talented. For me, he is the best I've ever seen at Palace, even above Atillio. Good luck, MO, and best wishes. Edited by Glazier#1 (22 Jun 2024 11.16pm) 100% agree. Exactly how I see it.

Players come and they go, the only loyalty is from the fans, Kamada is a good player and I suspect Franca will turn out good, if there’s no more release clauses no need to sell, IMO I would accept an 80m+ offer for Guehi, and reinvest in some championship talent

Lot of speculation and a sprinkling of bitterness on here.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

lol, bit dramatic. I’d be more pissed off if Ebs goes to Spurs or Newcastle this summer than Bayern next.

It's not so much bitterness, but it does lead to cynicism. Originally posted by lefty27

I've seen clickbait suggesting that several PL clubs have offered to let us keep Olise until the end of the season, probably because they can't afford to buy him now. It doesn't make sense, it would be good for us as a club but why would Olise agree to it if Bayern are ready to buy now.

When your children are teenagers, it’s important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you |

To put into context that’s half what Chelsea paid Brighton for Caciedo ( so forgettable that I probably can’t remember how to spell his name correctly). It’s a funny old world Saint…
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |

In the past many have been caught out by clubs issuing their new kit weeks after someone has bought the old one. I think in general clubs should have a discount if a player moves within 2 years of fans buying his shirt. Edited by Badger11 (23 Jun 2024 8.59am)
