I know its a year away, BUT, this 'could' have a bad effect on Palace 1st team, as in players NOT available.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

We would lose Ayew, Schlupp, Kouyate and Zaha if he is still here.

So considerably less than the absentees we have now.

4 is probably too many to go missing for a month or so and given the disruption caused I think we should be avoiding signing African nation players until we have reduced the current number .

On a broader point and with the influx of African players in the English game I think it would be a good idea to suspend the leagues during the African Nations maybe playing a condensed (the whole competition) format FA Cup during this period

Play the league cup early in the season and have the final before the end of the year. Have a winter break
to coincide with early part of the African Nations cup
when most teams are played and as you say play a couple of rounds of the FA cup.

 


One more point

Would make more sense than what I said and could be a format adopted even in non African Nations years
