If we could get out money back in the summer selling wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

Can’t be arsedTry looking at the games last season maybe you’ll remember.
TBF he is almost halfway through his 2nd full month of being on the injured list so I'd say he isn't being rushed back.This is why we need better depth. Mourinho and staff probably rush him back because the depth at MF is poor quality.

We won’t buy a world class player like he has the raw talent to be so we must gamble on him overcoming fitness issues and becoming very good if it’s in a year or a couple.
They can because Ndombele has now been moved to CM.As much as I hate to lose him, if there is a good offer for him I would consider moving him, especially if we are keeping Jose around as Jose seems unwilling to play him and Ndombele together so he is wasted under Jose.

Many on here gave up on Ndombele too.
Eze is no better than Bergwijn is or would be if allowed to play every game in Crystal Palace and have comfort of only praise when his team sits 13th in the league.It doesn't have to be world class, right now, to work out for us.
Guys like Eze and Benrahma from last year would be great for us this year. I think adding a Buendia (Norwich) or Periera (WBA) also could be cheap(ish) good moves to replace him.
There are likely a lot of good young players on the continent as well that we could bring in.
It would be nice to replace GLC with Messi but I think there are other options we can afford and improve our team.

Mind you we invested in Sessegnon, Clarke.
We made our commitments and won’t be getting new prospects every season and dumping ones that didn’t score 10 goals in their first season.
Lo Celso is another story, his ceiling is very high. You can see the glimpses of a world class player there.
You don’t get rid of players like that when they’re still young because of barely two month injury and some other minor issues before. If we operated like that Son and numerous other best players that we’ve had in past years would’ve been sold before they came any good.
Let’s wish him an speedy recovery then and judge him by his performances when he is back soon.I am as big a GLC fan as there is

Eze is quality but how would you get him to come to a team with France, Argentina and England internationals he will have to compete with in his first PL season?
Or could he guess we will have two out of three injured at the same time and still favoured him over N’Dombele or maybe dropped Bale or Son (as we imagined as starters) to accommodate him.
It’s unfortunate but sometimes teams like Crystal Palace can benefit from what can they offer to those talents, a perfect stepping stone. Maybe Sessegnon would be flying there if they signed him too at a time.
Do you reckon Mourinho will consistently play those three together? That's the dream, but the defensive duties will constrain one of TN and GLC at least, I suppose.Can't wait for him to come back into the team now we have Ndombele and Hojbjerg double pivot.
Shame his injury happened as he had that lovely assist against Liverpool and then got injured the following gme.
