It looked that way but he's just turned round and signed a new 4-year contract with Palace. Fair play for sticking with them.

Definitely a couple of changes I could make this week but I'm going to hold off for the 2 FTs next GW. Gabriel being benched was a pisser but if he comes in for Timber I'll hold. I've kept £0.5m aside so got some wiggle room.
I think coming back after Brum and having stayed up the year before meant there was a general feelgood factor. Add in the Anecdote and Dhillon's and it became somewhere you might want to go before a game and stay afterwards. Can throw the Tavern in as well, felt like the club actually cared and...
I'd have considered it at £4.5m but I've already got a cheap mid on the bench. Unless they play him as a CAM and he has a storming first month I'll stay away.
A bit surprised he's gone in at £5.0m and not £4.5m, assumed he'd be cheaper as an unknown quantity. Puts him on par with Soucek, Garnacho, Elanga. Definitely going to wait and see how he does in his first few games.
Working from home today so have stuck the build up on for once which is making me more nervous. I trust this squad to block all the noise out but it's not going to be easy.
1-0 Lionesses 🤞
