29 stone?Thomas Brolin was 29, when he turned up at Palace. He had won 3 European Trophies and 3rd in the world Cup, didnt perform at Palace.

He was always ok as a full back and probably would have been ok there under Glasner as a wing back but not many, OG included, fancied him for that role. Celtic will suit him, he might get another years contract as well as a result of his strong performance last night.Speaking of left backs, Schlupp is playing there tonight for Celtic against..........Olise with Bayern Munich.
Perhaps if he does well at left back, we can call him from his loan!
And hadn't played football for a yearTo be fair Davids was 37 when he played for us... Chilwell has only just turned 28.
I have heard Fulham fans moaning that him owning Robinson was the reason they played so badly.Had a much better game yesterday - needs to keep up the consistency.

It's good to see Mitchell getting that recognition. Vastly underrated by some on here.Interesting exert from a recent Times article about Mitchell;

Crystal Palace are one of the most distinct teams in league — this is why
High-pressing system, brilliance of Eberechi Eze, Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta, and effective wingbacks make Oliver Glasner’s side exciting and underratedwww.thetimes.com
It's behind a paywall so including below:
"Mitchell is one of the most underrated players in the division. The data company Statsbomb produces a statistic called "On-Ball Value". It quantifies all on-ball actions on the pitch, and can be broken down into four constituent parts: passing, shooting, defensive actions and dribbles/carries.
Mitchell features 12th in the league for passing. And as the second most valuable player in the team for overall 'On-Ball Value'.
He also boasts some of the best physical figures in the division, with his high-speed running the second-best at Palace, and his accelerations per 90 the best at the club.
For a pressing team, these numbers are particularly valuable."

I read the article yesterday, very data driven of course.
Interestingly the author claimed that our high pressing game is made easier by the fact that the Selhurst Park pitch is one of the smallest in the league. He clearly didn't look at our home record before writing that !
No true supporter would support this.AC Milan are interested(allegedly) . . .

Sources: AC Milan plotting shock summer raid on Crystal Palace for defensive standout
AC Milan are considering a summer move for Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell as they prepare for the departure of Theo Hernandez.www.teamtalk.com
Might make a few posters happy if he leaves.
i suspect that is paper talk based on the assumption that his contract expires this summer as has been widely reported - this is incorrect it is 2027.AC Milan are interested(allegedly) . . .
