I’d like to have seen how Olise, Eze and Zaha would have coped with the donkeys and hatchet men that Vince had to deal with though, players are far better protected these days. Can you imagine Wilf playing in Vince’s era? One kick even these days and he was moaning and whining to the ref and he’d then go missing for long periods. Vince would get chopped, jump up and take them on again…..and again. Football was very different back then. If you gave Hilaire a decent pitch, a modern football and modern standards of fitness, who knows.

Why do you care? We are Palace fans. Who cares what players do when they leave? I'm only concerned with keeping him. Agree!!

I see that Romano fella’s back with his usual tuppance worth! Now apparently Spurs have been talking to his agent for quite a while! Although it is technically true as his agent does represent Son and a few other Spud players.

I doubt we will want to sell him after losing Olise so it would take a massive offer.

I've honestly always been so stunned that this has to be a discussion point for anyone that I rarely chime in. I'd consider Zidane to come close but still a fair way off him. Do enjoy the opinions of others on this though, must say.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

All the players mentioned are superb,but Messi is the greatest I've seen and I had the pleasure of seeing him play live.
