As much as he's Palace, he is an awesome talent. You can tell by how much they miss him. But his reputation is not unfair. It's potentially costing them points now rather than gaining them.
Oops, the second one is a clear penalty.
The problem for him is that he keeps looking for it. That's where his reputation comes from.
It would help other teams if the stopped clambering all over him, mind.
