    I don't think he will...they'll probably get rid of him to a champ team (if they want ANY chance of staying up).
    Will also be good to see how Garvan gets on (if he plays) as i always thought he was better suited to the prem as opposed to the championship. He's not the most hard working of players, but is a very tidy player, whos very comfortable on the ball.

    I thought Delaney had a good game yesterday, it would have been interesting to see how he might have improved under big Mick if he were still here

    After such a dreadful Premier League season I get the feeling that the step up isn't as big as it once was.

    If a team such as Norwich City can finish 11th,why can't Delaney and Palace aim at a European spot?

    Looking at the teams which have gone up this season I think it shows how awful the Championship is, particularly if a player like Delaney can be in a team chasing for promotion at best for me he is an average league 1 player!! I'm sure Mick could've coached him and he would've been slightly better but he just couldn't read the game and his positional sense was awful!! I can't see him playing much for Palace next season, PL strikers will pull him all over the shot!!

    As stretchy says it will be interesting to see how Garvan does who's game I think may be more suited to that level. Was always a big fan although he never really lived up to all the potential. I'd have him back here now, I'd imagine him and Hyam would make a pretty good partnership.

    Also I've seen a thread on TWTD suggesting that Palace might go for JET, I don't think that would be beyond them especially with a player like Zaha leaving

    I would expect JET to go there and be a revelation <ok>

    A manager like Ollie will allow JET to develop into the player that we can all see he could be..

    You're probably not far off the mark there KOPR.

    I do think getting rid of JET is more of a financial decision than a footballing one!! I like watching him play as I like players with a bit of culture and sometimes his touch vision and skill are sublime. I'd imagine he could fit into the Palace team and would probs be a fairly cheap option for them!!

    The Championship wasn't awful,just very competitive and evenly matched .The gap between relegation and play offs was tiny compared to previous seasons.In my view it made a very exciting and highly watchable league.

    Well it certainly wasn't boring but in terms of quality, I thought it was very very poor.

    I think the English League including the PL is in decline tbh due to too many years of excess and desire for instant success and this won't change until the PL isn't a cash cow, pretty much summed up in this article:
