But, but, they've got loads of players who they could sell for a fortune. Sakho is worth about £5m and Benteke at least ten quid.

I don't know if it's still the case, but several years ago I read an article that talked about the difficulty of getting players to sing contracts with relegation clauses in them - they want security and money. As a player you could play well in a team that isn't as good as you and get relegated and then either lose money through reduced wages, or are out of a job with the stink of relegation on you.

Is it true he’s out for at least a month?
Palace have Udders, Newcastle, and Bournemouth in that time, so they may scrape a win without him.

Because they didn't receive any bids for him, so he might as well take more money if no one wants to buy him at the ludicrous price Palace puts on his head.

I'd have thought they might've scraped a win against a ropey winless Southampton, but they were comfortably beaten in the end. Stains could even afford to miss a pen and coast home.
Their fans are tearing themselves apart over how long he's likely to be out for. Imagine being so reliant on one single player that it causes such outright panic when he's crocked. Just imagine that.
What a club.

It's what I've heard. Hopefully a chronic niggly unexplained injury that has developed over the course of training/playing 6 days a week and takes months to fully diagnose and resolve.

Either that or his Baldock. Ouch!

False movement of the ACL. Out for many weeks. Royston on the blower to Barca to see if Messi is free.

I think that's why we see these contracts with clauses that enables relegated players to move on the cheap. Player agrees to a wage reduction if the club gets relegated but club agree the player can move for a reduced transfer fee. It's probably more prevalent abroad as PL clubs can rely on parachute payments for a couple of seasons to pay some of the inflated wages after a relegation.

I wouldn’t have thought it’s unexplained,carrying a club all on your own is bound to impact on your fitness after a while.

It's one thing rebounding from a poor start to the season with fit and motivated Zaha, but it's another thing trying to do that after his head's been turned and he's suffered an injury. Losing Loftus-Cheek doesn't help either.
Palace are going to have to dig deep - it's time for some of the others to stand up and be counted.

The snag for them is though, they only count 2 in every hundred.

Has there ever been a player winge as much as Zaha?
Just been on Radio 5 booing like a girl, about everyone is out to break his legs and all the refs don't care either.

The problem for Zaha is that the whole world knows that palace are a one man team. Stop him and palace don't win, he's also prone to react so there is a chance he'll pick up a card too if you kick away at him.Has there ever been a player winge as much as Zaha?

He’s got a point though . Refs need to start protecting him as he’s a world class player.
