They can still choose to buy him even if he doesn’t, right?

I’m jealous of his contributions to Palace’s mild improvement, but my head knows that he would be just as poor as he was before if he came back. We just didn’t suit him, and he didn’t suit us.
Good to make a small profit on him overall, but we really need to get the next wave of signings right

The words “breaking news” really hold no weight at all now. How is this breaking news. No one cares

If we had done this with Elliott – what would have been a fair number to trigger his 35M valuation? 15 G/A???

He’ll probably get those against Spurs on Thursday.

He’s playing Spurs next so we might as well consider it permanent now

I still really like the guy and it’s a shame it didn’t work out, though it’s a relief we’ve gotten to a place of getting all our value back.
It’s weird really; in Guessand and Malen, Emery had 2 ideal second strikers who could cover at number 9, and he even admitted on a couple occasions that even he agreed Guessand isn’t a winger yet he insisted on them both being wide right.
It’s been an incredibly tactically rigid year across the league and Emery has been definitely very guilty of that, particularly lately, but I think he’s definitely been symptomatic of a wider issue this year. It’s like all 20 teams have become risk averse and stubborn, impossible to break down. Managers are doubling down on their identities rather than open themselves up to something going askew knowing how good everyone is at preying on mistakes.
Only against Burnley did Emery take the chance of a second striker despite having used the technique in prior years to some success. Emery is terrified of losing a tall, strong guy out right to a point of not even letting said players try somewhere else.
I hope it changes going forward; we need some uniqueness, some spark, somebody who’ll say screw it and run at people.
