I'm not basing this on any knowledge, but isn't it a bit odd that Traore played today if he was about to sign for Palace?

Arry said Friday morning Palace had made an offer for him and it was up to Traore to decide. Hope he stays myself, we need him as back up at least.
 
Seems a very strange to let him go, as said above he seemed to like it at the club so bit surprised at the decision.

Let's hope Harry has a replacement lined up.

That's what I mean, would Harry play him if he was thinking of leaving? Maybe he's said no already? I think he offers something going forward and makes a useful sub at least.
 
Traore really turned himself around last season and seemed to really embrace the new team spirit. I hope he does stay, cause as a LM he is very useful! Harry is just giving players who want 1st team football a chance to leave, which is good for them because they deserve it, but also it shows us the players that aren't going to be happy with us as squad players. Hopefully Traore is one of the players that will happily play his part and I'm sure he'd get a good few games if he stays.
 
If we were sticking with 3 -5 -2 I could understand this, but if we have returned to 4-x-x surely he would have been good cover for Isla - who as Col pointed out at half time, is not a right back.
 
Simpson will be forcing the move because he's been bombed out for Isla. Don't blame him!
 
Sorry but I just don't understand this, absolutely crazy piece of business. What is going on?

Selling to our rivals firstly, but also now we have absolutely no cover at Right Back - something which we have only just sorted out by bringing Isla in. I bloody hope they have someone in mind to come in otherwise we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
