I don't disagree it would be better to develop your own or buy your own at bargain prices but I don't think we should just not take players on loan just out of principle. Gallagher has kept Palace out of the relegation area and that allows Palace to stay in PL for another year and then they role the dice again. Yes a problem that you don't own him and he might be taken back but let's face it if we had a really good player who was offered a good deal by a club then we might lose him anyway. ....
For a hefty fee though - isn’t that the point here ?
But agreed it all depends on the player and the deal. Do I think the club should turn them down on principle regardless ? . Nope.
