Excellent servant of the club. I think he's recently asked for timeout from the Scotland squad but I think he was omitted when the new manager took over. I can only think that they're looking to the future.

At age 30 and a midfielder, I'm surprised he was offered a 3 year deal. But his fitness levels are unreal and I guess he'll play at this level for the next few years.

I guess that's him seeing his career out at Palace. A good thing, I'd say. Just hope his back issues are gone forever. Then I think this is a very wise move.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

One of my favourite players ever since he signed - always reliable.

Better than having wastes of space and of fortunes as a last resort at the end of these 3 years. The example he’ll set vs those settling for the money as a squad number or pulling their socks up when a contract is at stake is no doubt worth it in Roy’s and Parish’s eyes.

I’m not sure Puncheon has done more than jimmy. Maybe in shorter time periods.

Puncheon was effective further up the field but now no more. There’s more to jimmy’s game in different areas and still scores. I expect he’ll be effective for a while yet, whether a regular or replacement or in between.

And scored a great fa cup final goal, and a beauty in cardiff in our first season back, that game was a season changer i seem to remember, but yes, few bad passes and circles to!
