Ismaïla Sarr

[eritheagle]

Last couple of seasons it felt like we had a team of players who genuinely wanted to be part of a winning group and club legends. Mateta’s strop was the thin end of the wedge and now Sarr. It feels like JSL is benefiting from a run in the team which adds to the feeling we should have sold Mateta last season and Sarr when Liverpool came calling and he started his nonsense. We’d be financially better off or perhaps have a decent replacement now and a group of players who were happy to be part of the project this season. I’ll be disappointed if we don’t offload Mateta and Sarr in January.

We would’ve sold Mateta but he failed a medical. Nothing the club can do about that.

True but who knows what enquiries were made in the summer. Glasner made JSL second choice as soon as Mateta wanted back in. You can argue he won us the final although who’s to say JSL wouldn’t have come good. Either way first bid in the summer and he should have been gone.
Given Sarr is a liability when he doesn’t get his way, £50 million was a reasonable offer and certainly better than paying him to be “injured” .

Not been much ‘thin’ for these 3. None have been played outside the premier league with us.
Not sure anyone has shown any interest in Mitchell?
And the other 2 have been with us 3/4 years and been in the best team we will probably ever see and won trophies.

Although I get your point , I think it’s because some of the others have acted like c*nts, that makes them look good.

I

think we idolise anyone who stays with us thick or thin , Mitchell comes to mind also think Wharton to some extent , but now deano

So, was he at work today? Any sightings in the carpark?

I grew up watching our ‘team of the 80’s. Had a season ticket throughout these times., always stood next to TV in his dugout. Was there the night we beat Burnley 2-0 to win the division and be promoted. 51,802 people there that night. Vince Hilaire, Sansom, Murphy, Nicholas…what a team.

Then the Ian Wright era.. he literally could score for fun.

What happened to those beautiful days? Instead we now have VAR, and referees that allow Bruno to con him and ruin a great game then compound it with a ridiculous offside decision.

I persist in watching because I love football and Palace but I must say, it’s becoming a more difficult watch season by season as more and more admin ruins our game and now with Sarr and Mateta totally disrespecting their contracts.. well..what can you say?

Three words explain to me what happened: follow the money.

It was funny that VAR screwed the mancs though 🤣

Maybe nobody placed a bid for him

The important question which unfortunately is the only point in the last few pages on here that hasn’t been covered! Another 10 minutes of my life I won’t get back looking for stuff on a website.

I can confirm... this is unconfirmed (at least in this thread) 😂😂

Laughing because I had exactly the same reaction. Hopefully Ismaila is back in the saddle and eager to make up for lost time.

You'd think (hope?) he's been looking at the chances we've created and thinking he could have been on the end of a few of them. The trouble is, of course, that if he comes in and scores a few by Christmas we'll have the same situation in January.

I would 100% both think and hope he'd be thinking exactly this.

A January agent strop and an incoming bid would be a nice problem to have if it means his goals have fired us up the table, although the real issues are in the other two thirds of the pitch.

Knowing how woke everything is the club likely organised therapy sessions for him & his agent

And JP got a sick note from his mother
