Johan Lange - Technical Director

Hopefully he has a list of potential replacements ready. We're going to need it some time this season.

We weren't getting Eze and Solanke. Solanke was more important. There's a reason that nobody made a move for Eze, nobody is paying almost all of a 60m fee up front and Palace had no need to sell once the buyout clause was gone.

It's different to Diaz. We made a move and as soon as we did Liverpool came in and the player wanted to go to Liverpool.

I know we weren't getting Eze mate, I was clear on that. What I am saying is that we could've done that deal had we adhered to the terms, and Ange wanted him. You're right in saying there's a difference in how each deal didn't happen, what is the same is that there were moments these deals could've been done - big players that the respective managers wanted - and we chose to pass. Each would've made a significant difference to our squad at those times.
