Having 1 quality DM isn't enough, as highlighted by Kamara's injury.

A controversial opinion it maybe, but if we have to sacrifice anyone this summer I would bite Arsenal's hand off if they bid £65m.

£65m?! Bloody hell there is so real undervaluing of some of our players at the moment.

Palace want £60m for Eze or Olise.  Is he much better than them?  I know it is not like for like but even so.

No chance, that player from August to December is worth way more than that to us. In that form I haven't seen many better midfields in my life time.

I still think he's our best outfield player.  At his age we should keep him at all costs and he should be the player we build the team around for the next 5 years.

Well Olise has a release clause and I think there’s some recency bias here. Doug has had a tough end to the season, influenced by covering Kamara, but in the first half of the season he was arguably the best midfielder in the league or at the very least in the conversation.

Let me point you towards some markers. Caicedo £116M. And Enzo Fernandez £106M. And Mudryk £88M.

Luiz is exceptional. Keep. Unless he wants to go, in which case the bidding starts at £100m please.

What Crystal Palace value their players at has literally no bearing on how we should value our players.

There should be no thought, absolutely zero thought about selling him.

Get a decent CDM to help him & his game will flourish.

Unfortunately that Drunken Sailor has run out of cash.

Through fatigue and losing vital teammates at a terrible moment his form has dropped off dramatically, but we really, really have to bear in mind how good he was for the rest of the season up till that point.
