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

My 10p worth.

First of all, gutted as there is no question he is a world class talent.

But if he is no longer a Palace player I couldn’t give a monkey who or what he does now. If he was not interested in what OG is building then I’m glad he is gone now rather than dragging out and at least we don’t have to see him coming back to haunt us for another prem team.

My biggest worry is that this opens the flood gates.

I was so excited for the season ahead, if we could have kept the team together for a season I really believed we could do a villa. Now I guess we see how good dougie and OG are with using the money wisely to strengthen so that we don’t miss the likes of MO, MG etc.

I also hope that MO doesn’t mention to Vincent Kompany how much better JPM is compared to Kane these days and we get a swap deal lol.

Same old Palace. Seen it all before. As soon as we start to look half decent it all goes pear shaped.

I expect another 2 or 3 will go too.

We'll always be just a stepping stone for anyone who's any good.

I hardly feel that moving anywhere from the Premier League is "testing yourself". Pushing for top six in the best league in the world is testing yourself. Let that be a lesson to any future deserters.
