Not worth more tho.

You have spent nearly £50m on 4 players, only 1 with Prem experience, and 1 injured and you want another 4?

From what I've seen on the BBS, some think you are done now?

Gallagher amd Andersen both have Prem experience. Olise and Guehi don't but should make the step up based on how they performed last year, they were both outstanding in the Championship. Guehi in pre season has looked very good so far. 4 more needed though without doubt, we have a squad of 21 at the mo if you don't count the injured players.

Majority on the BBS think there will be more incoming. As do quite a few journalists that cover Palace like Micheal Bridge and Woosnam.

There is a huge list of players who were outstanding in the Championship but didn't cut it in the Premier League.

Tarabt
Rhodes
Jason Koumas
Tom Ince
Vydra
Gayle
Knockaert
Earnshaw
Danny Graham
Leroy Lita
Ebanks-Blake
Sessegnon

No guarantee of success.

Is this Milo guy trying to convince us or himself? He reminds me of a small dog annoyingly nipping at your ankles to remind you that he's there

Add Bolasie to that list. A player that young Milo might not remember but was utter rubbish in the EPL despite being quality in the Championship.

Bolasie was very good in the first 2 Prem seasons including a hat trick vs Sunderland. He then got injured soon after and things went downhill.

How many of them were 19?

You can never guarantee success when making the step up, but Olise is so highly rated for a reason. To be as good as he is at such a young age bodes well for his chances of making it at the top level.

Absolute drivel, I'm afraid. Bolasie had just earned a £25m move to Everton on the back of his performances in the PL and started very well before suffering a serious injury, from which he never truly recovered.

So why is he at Place then?

Because we are a long standing Premier League team, London based, good academy, give youth a chance, have a passionate fan base, good players to play alongside like Zaha and Eze, and a Premier League legend as a manager. You won't like me saying this but players do find us an attractive proposition. Only thing we lack is the stadium.

Zaha wants out.. Eze is average... Youth a chance? in the last 2 months... ok
