I watched France last night. I can see why they didn't select Olise. He would have spent the whole event bench warming. They seem to play with strength and speed. Im not sure Olise's sublime skills are what France is all about. I can't see them putting him on the pitch ahead of Dembele. Sadly for England, the same bench warming is probably the case for Eze and Wharton. I've been singing this from the rooftops, all my non Palace supporting mates think I'm mental. But I genuinely think he is the missing cog.

I see the defensive conundrum and utilising players in their best positions easily resolved by setting up like this: Pickford This keeps Trippier and Foden out the side which is for the best, provides width and hopefully there would be some decent link up play between Palmer, Bellingham and Kane. Thoughts? Sorry, this hasn’t come out as I intended. TAA and Gordon play as wingbacks with a back 3 if that’s not clear. Edited by Eaglecoops (18 Jun 2024 7.57pm)

Wharton would completely change things for the better. His speed of vision and the way does the simple things is missing from the England team from the other night. Roy Keane pointed out that TAA made one or two decent passes. The rest of the game he gave the ball away or looked lost. Put Wharton in FFS

If he stays for another season, it surely makes it more likely that others do too.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

That is surely good news for a touch of cautious optimism, at least for the time being.

I would take a contrary view to the Mail story that we are offering Olise a bumper new contract with a release clause for 2025. But for me it’s yet another demonstration of how cynical the game has become with a real absence of loyalty or acting in good faith.

Olise is a bright guy.

If the offer of a new deal is true then I'm glad Palace aren't just rolling over. We're in a much stronger position than last season when we had a stop-gap manager in place and the squad looked thin. We now have four current England internationals, we added Wharton and Munoz and we've just signed a Barcelona protégé, plus we're rumoured to have another star in Kamada due to be revealed within a couple of weeks. Perhaps most importantly we seemingly have a manager and coaching setup which could potentially see us challenge for a European spot. Unless he has a serious injury then the top clubs will still be ready to buy him next summer, but the ones rumoured to be interested might be a more stable environment to walk into.

That would make more sense than going to Chelsea. Have any of the clickbait articles mentioned why he'd want to go there after turning them down last year?
