Olise was 'too cheap' and other players 'a downgrade'

We asked how you are feeling about Michael Olise's move to Bayern Munich and who you would like to see Crystal Palace bring in as the winger's replacement.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Pete: It has been an absolute joy watching Olise play for Palace. He will be sorely missed. We have to accept that whoever replaces him will be a downgrade. We have two in-house replacements in Matheus Franca and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, so I don't think you will see us sign anyone else as a direct replacement. The cash is likely to go towards the stadium development.

Rob: We can reflect on the end of last season when we rarely had all of our top-valued players in action, yet we were still superb as a team. At this stage in Palace's evolution, the extra cash from Olise is probably more important than keeping a player who wants to be elsewhere.

Elaine: He was too cheap. When you look at what players are being sold for nowadays, £50m is a steal. I don't know if we will ever be able to replace him, so Dougie Freedman has got his work cut out. I wish Michael all the best in his career, but he will be sorely missed.

Jamie: Olise is the first player Palace have sold since the transfer model shift in 2021. The plan is to buy young players for low fees and sell them on for a profit, but the club are yet to prove they can replace one of their young stars. It took five seasons to replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka, so fans will be hoping for a quick transfer they can get excited by.

Clifford: We probably could have got more for him, but without the release clause he would never have signed for us. We got him for less than he was worth from Reading, so it probably evens out. He is a fantastic player and he will only get better. I trust Dougie to get a decent and cheaper replacement to develop, but we already have Eze, Kamada, Franca and Ayew for two spots.
