Olise is currently recovering from an injury right? Any ideas when he is supposed to be close to a return?

End of September he should be fit to play apparently.

I thought we needed one more here, assuming we were playing 3 behind the forward. but if we get Lavia and Enzo moves forwards, there's only two spots like you say.

haven't even mentioned Carney and Casadei either 🙂

Loan to Leicester confirmed.

Personally just happy we've moved on from the days of Drinkwater, Emerson and co.

What’s the deal with him being injured? How does he pass a medical?

I would love us to sign Olise

Assuming its the 5+ year contract we are looking at a yearly amortization of £7m. 

idk why we are buying yet another winger that has problems scoring goals

He hops on one leg on the treadmill

They've probably done an MRI where it shows good progression in his hamstring recovery. Maybe not that much scar tissue as well which would be a bonus. 

Good player but we could really do with a goalscorer

Yes much more positive, although we could have just bought a load of Drinkwaters and Emerson’s just younger versions.

I think with release clauses, you have to pay it upfront. It's part of why we were looking to pay more than what Enzo's release clause was so it could be amortized. I could be wrong about that but that's what I think it is.

Too late been edited back. It did say Olise is a professional footballer and also a snake.

I believe that is strictly with buy out clauses, which are only in Portugal & Spain. 

I just don't rate him very highly. His end product is terrible.

I like this player a lot.

A stylish smooth footballer who is good a corners and free kicks.

Like a Riyad Mahrez but without the goal scoring numbers yet, but let's not forget he is only 21 years old.

This is a great signing, a true blue . we can get rid of Madueke. One of the  worst signings ever . A poor purchase that was never needed

London-born Olise registered 11 assists in the Premier League for Palace last season and signed for the Eagles from Reading on a five-year-deal in 2021.

Olise was a member of Chelsea's youth system before leaving aged 14.

We can always send him to American for scans just be sure.

We signed two elite scorers last season and that didn't stop us having our worst scoring season in 99 years.

Sort out the system and the goals will take care of themselves.

Medicals don't tend to involve anything physical. More scans, tests, etc. 

If and its its a big if, if he stays fit this could be a good signing. He has plenty of assists for palace over two seasons. I see him as the understudy to sterling and will step into the main role as time goes on.

Ge is technically French so @BordeauxBlueover to you!
