I think the player concerned is on the books at Chelsea but it is irrelevant because Dougie didn't think he was good enough to play for Palace.
I know money in football is generally mental and only getting worse, but 35k a week for a teenage reserve team player? Danny Welbeck just had to properly negotiate and get an England call-up to get north of 40k. I can only believe Lukaku might be on near that as he was signed for quite a big fee if I remember correctly, but anyone who's come through a youth team, even the Citeh's and Chelski's wouldn't pay that sort of moolah to.
All that aside, it goes without saying this player 'wasn't good enough' for Palace, I mean what player is, with their academy!?
