Maybe Palace ambitions are higher now? An attacking RB early career , strong and athletic, who can offer a real alternative to Munoz? Maybe Palace's sites are higher than a utility player?

Reported West Ham made him improved offer - 5years. I suppose it depends what offer we made, if we did. Sense from WH prospective, let there new manager look at him for a year and at least get a fee if they offload then.
Appreciate few will be shedding tears here. Thought he was ok for free to flesh out squad.

If we were to sign him his wages would be expensive as we would have to top West Ham who pay more than us usually. I think this was a case of his agent using us to get his player a pay rise. We were probably interested to a point but this is now dead.
