I am very sorry to see Yo move on from Palace. His signing 3 years ago represented a big step forward for Palace as our first "marquee" signing in the Prem with a big transfer fee and wages. And, in my opinion, he's been excellent value for money as his stats over 3 seasons consistently proved.

His are very big boots to be filled and his influence in midfield will be difficult to replace. Our midfield next season could look very different if we don't manage to retain Rubén Loftus-Cheek for at least another season and there is any substance in the continuing rumours linking Andros Townsend with a move to Newcastle. I'm hoping that Steve Parish and Dougie Freedman are "men with a plan"!

There seems to have been some criticism of Yo for choosing The UAE over another couple of years in the Prem. Let's be honest, how many of us faced with the choice of the increasing physicality of the Prem and facing the likes of Huddersfield on a cold wet windy Saturday afternoon wouldn't have been tempted by two years in Dubai?

So from me it's good luck for the future, Yo, and thanks for three quality years at Palace that were crucial to keeping us in the Prem.

Why do you expect loyalty from footballers as they are merely employees of the club and are just as entitled to move employers as we are

I remember how excited I was when he joined. He never really lived up to my expectations, but he was still a fine servant and a quality player. I think he would have really struggled this year as his body seemed to be struggling through a lot of last season and this move may be as much to with that as it is about money.

In my dream world RLC will come back on loan and slot into the middle, Kirby will make the step up and we'll sign a new and exciting winger to compete with Andros and Wilf.

More like the young Turk 2.5 million - only to find he takes a year or two to settle in and we are struggling against relegation without any midfield options. Puncheon perhaps.

Red and Blue Army!

Last time I was at Selhurst (v Liverpool) I was talking to a lad on the tube. He was a season ticket holder. I'm a long-term fan and member. Neither of us could remember who the lad on loan was or even what position he played in. Big impact.

Red and Blue Army!

Very cruel! But probably accurate.

I'm expecting our entire budget to be blown on RLC, for him then to be injured after 4 games, and the lack of cover elsewhere to cause another struggle, It's the Palace way!
