    I just don't think there was any need for us to get involved and even write the letter.
    It's the same as threatening legal action against Spudz because they happened to put in an offer which met MGW's previously unknown release clause. Because we've (or Oly) have never spoken to a player or his representatives before putting in an offer.

    (Not forgetting all the times he's shown his temper - that stupid Tweet he sent, kicking his TV and breaking it (twice), throwing his ID away in someone's garden, storming on the pitch to rant at the manager, spitting towards the referee).

    Just unnecessary posturing which makes us look like a clown club.

    Or how about we try sticking with the same guy for 2-3 seasons and do slow incremental builds each transfer window.

    Fine, but your point was that we changed UEFA's position and demoted Palace from the Conference by doing it, which is bollocks.

    I'm saying Milenkovic is making unnecessary mistakes because he's not comfortable in the role he's being asked to play.

    Serbia play 3 at the back quite a lot don't they? Certainly did in the last euros.

    Well the deflection wasn't a "mistake" it was just pure bad luck, and he passes a ball back to the keeper maybe 20 times a game in pretty much every formation he's ever played his entire career, so that doesn't make sense to me either. I think you're trying to look for rational explanations for irrational things. Hey ho.
