Olise probably gets injured so much because he's carrying that club on his back.
The graph def shows no correlation between how much teams spent and points after the January window.
I'm saying that doesn't answer the question fully.
I think he’s not being given the time to get to full fitness. Same with Eze and it’s because Roy is under pressure and they have no other options, but to play them or else they’ll be even a worse position in the league
Brennan Johnson did very similar things for Forest. Scored 16 goals in the Championship and 2 in the playoffs to get Forest promoted. He also directly contributed with goal involvements for 14pts last season to help Forest stay up.
Always a potential risk of a transfer like this, but you'd think there would be an attempt to mitigate it by using add-ons based on his future success, meaning that it is in their interest for him to develop as fully as possible over the next 2 years.
I can't see how this loan is a better standard for him to develop at than just staying at HS, was much happier when the Dutch league was mentioned a while back.
I’m with you on that. For some reason they are mentioned as if they are world beaters. Decent players to be fair but the money mentioned is ludicrous. Olise has missed 10 games already and only had way through,that’s a ref flag right there. Nobody will pay what palace are asking.
The only plus is they are home grown but I think there is better value we should be looking for the next Bowen/Eze/Olise to solve that problem. I also think they have the advantage of time and space because they play for Palace do not think they would look as good when the opposition has an extremely tight defence.
And yet, he's still half the player Olise is.
He's got 6 goals and 3 assists this season. In 745 minutes. The equivalent to less than 8 and a half games played. Obscene numbers.
In fact, he's been involved in more goals in his last 3 starts for lowly Palace than Johnson has all season whilst starting for us.
Olise is injury prone though, absolutely. Money banded about for him considering his injury record is silly.
Yes it's doable if we show urgency but the likes of Levy just doesn't get it, that's why Ange was left without a CB in the summer.5 players is doable. We got the mullah. We ain't talking signing 5 superstars either. And that's what we need after years of squad mismanagement.
Plus if Frase, Reggy, Sess, Japh, Spence, Joe R, Pierre, GLC, Tanguy & Gil leave...here's hoping...you gotta bring a few new bodies in.
I'd forgotten about Veliz. I still think he could do with a loan to a bottom half PL/top Champo contender. See what Ange thinks of Troy, Dane, Donley, Yago, Jude, Dorrie...be good to fully integrate Devine & another Academy kid or two, then send the other top prospects on good loans a la Port Vale.
Olise is on another level from Johnson but completely different types. Olise has that class about him that you love to see but I doubt we’ll ever see because he’s stick at Palace because of the fee they’d ask for.
You need players Like Skipp and Davies in your Squad - I'm even tempted to put Royale into that category now - might not be the fancy player who gets MOTM but are all solid reliable players when called upon.
I reckon he has a decent release clause tbh. Probably comes into effect this summer.
Hearing the club are considering making a late £80m swoop for 10-year-old Bosnian wonderkid Maydup Nameovic 
From last year watching Forest and Palace I was much more excited about Brennan. I do not think he has shown everything he has at Spurs but I think he was a better player last season than Olise. Especially since 3 of Olise assists came from set pieces.

Too late Luton have outbid us and put £100m on the table, it’s over.
Johnson is a ghostly passenger, Olise is always showing for the ball. There’s no comparison.
He wasn’t.
